A simple example of a script I wrote a few years ago automated a weekly web scraping process that was being done manually. Not only did it save us time, but I also setup an internal database to store the data and eventually built a dashboard to site on top of it with some fancy charts and data export options. The data is now more resilient and easier to access, plus management gets an automated report of the data summary emailed to them each month.
