Within the ATN Admin suite developed by DFM-Europe, ATN Script plays a central role: it is the technical foundation that enables the automation of repetitive computer tasks through a simple script.
Where an employee would normally have to repeat hundreds of clicks, copy/paste actions, or manual searches, ATN Script observes, learns, and automatically reproduces these actions on demand.
How does it work?
ATN Script is based on script learning technology. The principle is straightforward:
-
the assistant observes a user performing a task (logging into a website, downloading an invoice, renaming and saving a file, entering data…),
-
it records each step,
-
then transforms the sequence into a reusable and customizable script.
Once the script is created, it can be replayed as many times as needed, with adaptable parameters (e.g., login credentials, billing period, target client).
In practice, ATN Script acts like a “virtual employee”: it watches how you work, learns your steps, and repeats them endlessly — quickly and without error.
👉 This makes ATN Script the building block for many other solutions within the ATN Admin suite (document management, automated invoice collection, email sorting, HR surveys, internal support, etc.).
A real-world example: automated invoice retrieval
In France, most suppliers provide invoices through secure online portals. For accounting teams, this means: logging into each site, entering credentials, finding the invoice, downloading it, renaming it, and filing it correctly. At the end of the month, this repetition can take hours and lead to mistakes or omissions.
With ATN Script, the process changes completely:
-
The retrieval path is recorded once on the supplier’s website.
-
The system turns this path into an automated script.
-
Each time it runs, ATN Script logs in, downloads the invoice, applies naming rules, and stores it directly in the right folder or ERP system.
Result: what used to take hours is now done in just a few minutes.
Benefits for the company
For end users (accounting, admin, back-office):
-
Immediate time savings by eliminating repetitive tasks.
-
Fewer human errors: no more missing or misplaced files.
-
Greater comfort: an intuitive tool that learns by observing.
For IT and technical teams:
-
No need to code complex integrations: observation is enough.
-
Modular, reusable scripts that can be combined to automate larger workflows.
-
Fast deployment without heavy system overhauls.
For management:
-
Reduced operational costs.
-
Better data reliability and traceability.
-
A concrete step toward digitalization and process modernization.
A versatile tool — beyond invoices
ATN Script is not limited to accounting. Its use cases are numerous:
-
Email management: automatically sort emails, save attachments, and file them in the right folder.
-
Calendar updates: automate the creation and modification of recurring events.
-
Reporting: extract data from multiple systems, compile into Excel, and send by email.
-
Inventory monitoring: log into supplier portals and check stock availability.
-
HR processes: prepare onboarding documents, centralize timesheets, or run internal surveys.
In short, anything manual, repetitive, and time-consuming can be delegated to ATN Script.
ATN Script vs. RPA: what’s the difference?
At first glance, ATN Script may seem similar to an RPA (Robotic Process Automation) tool. Both aim to automate repetitive tasks on a computer. But there are key differences:
Technological approach
-
Traditional RPA: relies on fixed rules defined manually. If the interface changes (button moved, menu updated), the bot can “break.”
-
ATN Script: powered by script learning AI. The assistant observes, understands sequences, and recognizes visual or logical patterns, making it more adaptable to changes.
Implementation
-
RPA: often reserved for IT teams, requiring setup and maintenance.
-
ATN Script: designed for end users. Just demonstrate the task once, the AI learns, and it can replay automatically.
Role in the ecosystem
-
RPA: usually standalone, limited to a specific scope.
-
ATN Script: the technical foundation of the entire ATN Admin suite, powering other digital assistants (document management, invoice collection, email sorting, HR surveys).
👉 In summary, ATN Script is not “just another RPA,” but an evolution: an AI-driven, user-friendly, and adaptable solution that combines simplicity with sovereignty and data security.
Data sovereignty and security
As with all ATN solutions, ATN Script was built with strict requirements for data sovereignty and security:
-
Logins and passwords are encrypted and managed in a secure digital vault.
-
Role-based access and full action tracking ensure complete traceability.
-
Deployment can be on-premise or in a private cloud, depending on business needs.
-
Full compliance with GDPR and European standards.
Deployment and usage
The implementation of ATN Script follows a fast, practical cycle:
-
Record: a user performs a task while the assistant records it.
-
Adapt: parameters are generalized (e.g., login, period, file type).
-
Test: run the script on pilot data.
-
Deploy: schedule the script or trigger it on demand.
-
Improve: update easily when interfaces change or new needs arise.
This progressive approach allows companies to start small (e.g., invoices) and gradually expand to more processes.
A cornerstone of the ATN Admin ecosystem
ATN Script is not just a standalone product — it is the technical backbone of ATN Admin. Other assistants (document management, email sorting, automated replies, HR surveys) rely on the scripts created and enriched by ATN Script.
In other words, ATN Script is the invisible engine that allows ATN Admin to deliver cross-functional automation across all administrative and back-office tasks.
Conclusion
With ATN Script, companies move from manual, tedious processes to simple, fast, and secure automation. Employees save time, errors are reduced, and teams can focus on higher-value activities.
ATN Script perfectly embodies the philosophy of ATN Admin: not to replace humans, but to empower them by removing the burden of repetitive tasks.
It is a pragmatic, sovereign, and adaptable solution designed to accelerate the digital transformation of European organizations.
