This ensures that we deliver a more robust ecosystem to customers and leverage the talents of both operations,” explains Smith. Technology potential The robots used by Oystr are multi-system, which can increase the flow of tasks. “In total, we have more than 480 active robots, but if we consider that the same robot that performs a task in Bahia also works in Roraima, Paraná or any other state, this indicator increases considerably, boosting the flow of systems throughout the country,” says Rafael Caillet. The company has a high data processing capacity, which in turn enhances the automation of several law firms and legal departments. Over the last six years, Oystr robots have performed more than 250 million tasks. More than 600 companies were impacted and, through cutting-edge technology, made their businesses more efficient and sustainable. Founded in 2014 to automate repetitive and costly legal tasks, the more than 1.000 robots already developed by Oystr perform the collection of subpoenas, mass protocols, internal systems feeding, among other functions.

With the formalized signature, Peruvian Judicial Branch employees will have access to a digital process solution with benefits that allow them to maintain integrity, security and consistency, in addition to supporting decision-making based on process information. “With the milestone of signing the contract, we are facing a modernization project that involves 34 Superior Courts of Justice throughout Peru. There will be more than 18 thousand users and approximately 1.700 agencies involved in the implementation of this project. We will begin with a stage of parameterizing the solution to the local reality and then we will continue with training and assisted monitoring of users in the process of appropriating the solution. This is a challenge of national magnitude and impact, reinforces Márcio regarding the execution of the project. With over 30 years in the market, Softplan The Public Sector offers a pioneering service in the implementation of digital processes in the Brazilian justice system, promoting solutions that ensure agility, transparency and efficiency in all processes. In 2024 alone, 201 million Brazilians were impacted by the solutions promoted by the company, which is equivalent to 91% of the Brazilian population.
