Why does RPA fail in B2B commerce?
Why RPA fails: root causes, business impact, and the AI-native fix
RPA fails in B2B commerce because it follows scripts on structured screens. B2B orders arrive as free-text email, scanned PDFs, and customer-specific Excel sheets. RPA bots break when format varies, when exceptions occur, or when master data is incomplete. AI agents in Autonomous Commerce replace RPA by adding decision capability.
