Workato has a large office in Singapore, a country that began dealing with the spread of Covid-19 earlier than many other countries. The government quickly put measures in place to stop the spread of the disease.
“We first built these automations and bots just for our own internal use to help us manage our employees and comply with the guidelines of the Singaporean government,” said Allan Teng, Managing Director and VP, APJ at Workato. “When we mentioned what we had created to customers, they wanted to use the Autopilot pack too. That’s when we realized this could truly help companies across the world adjust to this new reality.”

Autopilot includes new bots and automations for the following:
- Assistant: Make administrative work easy – create IT request tickets, PTO requests, order WFH equipment, search knowledge bases, submit expense reports, and do all the approvals for these requests from inside of Workplace, Teams, or Slack. Seamlessly connect to your key applications for these activities like Trello, ServiceNow, Workday, Expensify, Amazon, and Coupa.
- Standup: Do your daily standups in Workplace, Teams, or Slack and view/update your tasks in your project management tool (Trello, Airtable, Jira, Zoom, Github) from the chat console.
- Buddy: Connect with your colleagues and hangout with them virtually. Buddy pairs up people based on interests at or outside work.
- Wellness: Keep your employees engaged and healthy – Wellness guides you through a wellness plan for the day, from health reminders to participating in company-wide health challenges.
Autopilot is helping some of the most essential businesses operate safely. For example, SMRT, Singapore’s mass transit provider, has 11,000 employees that allow SMRT to support an average daily ridership of 3.384 million.
