Stalled automation, fragile bots, missed ROI — fixed.
RPA recovery is what happens when a previous automation programme has not delivered what it should. RINKT diagnoses what went wrong, rebuilds the automation as production-grade, and hands it back stable. UK-based engineering, 30–60 day engagements.
Most failed automation programmes share the same symptoms. The underlying causes are usually not the platform — they are the way the platform was deployed.
Solutions designed against happy paths only — exception handling, UI changes, and data variability were never modelled in the build.
Volume assumptions were optimistic, the wrong process was automated, or human-in-the-loop overhead exceeded the savings.
Operational ownership unclear; output not integrated into downstream systems; the team that ran the legacy process moved on.
Implementation specialists left no documentation; only their team can maintain the bots; every change request becomes a project.
No logging, no audit trail, unclear data flows. Regulators or internal audit flag the automation as a control gap.
Built but never moved into live production, often because no one specified what 'production-grade' meant before the build started.
Diagnose, decide, rebuild, stabilise. Three phases, each with a defined deliverable and exit criterion.
Audit the existing automation. Identify which bots are economically worth recovering, which to retire, which to rebuild from scratch. Output: a written recovery plan with scope, cost, and timeline.
Selected automations are rebuilt as production-grade workflows. Exception handling, monitoring, audit logging, and operational ownership all designed in from day one.
Recovered automations run in production with monitored performance, defined error-resolution paths, and clear ownership. We hand them off — your team owns them, not us.

30-day stabilisation review before sign-off
A UK financial services firm had inherited a stalled RPA implementation: bots were failing daily, audit logs were incomplete, and the original delivery team had left. RINKT delivered a 6-week recovery — diagnostic, rebuild of the four highest-value automations, and stabilisation handover to the in-house operations team.
Read the full case studyRPA recovery is the structured process of diagnosing why an existing RPA implementation is failing or stalled — fragile bots, low coverage, missing exception handling, vendor dependency — and rebuilding the automation so it runs reliably in production.
Consider RPA recovery when an existing implementation is technically broken (bots failing daily), commercially under-delivering (ROI not materialising), or politically stalled (the team that built it has left). Recovery is faster than rebuilding from scratch when the underlying process design is sound.
Most engagements run 30–60 days from kickoff to stabilised production. The diagnostic phase takes 5–10 days and produces a recovery plan with clear scope before any rebuild work begins.
No. RINKT recovers automations regardless of the platform they were originally built on. Where it makes sense, we rebuild on the RINKT platform; where it doesn't, we stabilise on the existing platform.
Cost depends on the scope of the existing automation and the recovery approach. Most engagements are scoped after the diagnostic phase. The diagnostic itself is fixed-fee and produces a clear recovery proposal before further commitment.
The first step is a fixed-fee diagnostic. You walk away with a clear recovery plan and a decision — even if the decision is "don't recover, retire."
