The Partner Opportunity
Help your customers automate manual work, without building your own RPA team.
Join Smart Hands Africa for a practical, business-focused partner webinar designed for IT partners, MSPs, consultants, resellers and service providers who want to understand how automation can create new customer value and recurring revenue opportunities.
Date: 17 June 2026 at 10AM SAST
Platform: Microsoft Teams
Format: Online webinar
Audience: Partners, MSPs, IT resellers, consultants and service providers
Technical Level: Business-focused, not technical
WHY ATTEND?
Across Africa, businesses are under pressure to do more with less.
Many teams still rely on manual, repetitive processes that slow down operations, increase errors and consume valuable employee time.
Common examples include:
- Invoice processing
- Data capturing
- Report generation
- Reconciliations
- Customer onboarding
- Internal administration
- Finance and operations workflows
These are exactly the types of challenges that RPA, process automation and Digital Employees can help solve.
For partners, this creates a powerful opportunity: Helping customers identify automation opportunities, improve efficiency and create measurable business value, without needing to become an automation product expert.
WHAT ARE DIGITAL EMPLOYEES?
Digital Employees are software-based workers that help businesses execute repetitive, rules-based tasks across systems and applications.
They can assist with tasks such as:
- Reading and processing invoices
- Capturing data between systems
- Generating reports
- Validating information
- Reconciling records
- Triggering notifications and workflows
- Supporting finance, operations, HR, IT, and administration teams
The goal is not to replace people. The goal is to remove repetitive manual work so teams can focus on higher-value activities.
DESIGNED FOR PARTNERS. NOT DEVELOPERS.
This session is designed specifically for business and technology partners.
It is not a technical developer workshop.
You do not need to:
- Build your own RPA team
- Train your staff as automation developers
- Learn the automation product in depth
- Handle complex implementation work
- Provide technical support on your own
Smart Hands Africa acts as your automation delivery and enablement partner.
You identify opportunities, introduce the customer, and remain part of the customer relationship. We support the technical delivery, implementation and ongoing managed services.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS
Your customers may already know they have operational inefficiencies, but they often do not know where to start.
They may be struggling with:
