Everything-as-a-Service

We are now living in the age of hyper-convenience, and the market for convenience (as-a-service) is soaring. For the better half of the last ten years, we have swiftly passed into the ‘as-a-service’ economy. The globalization of labour, highly disruptive business models and rapid consumerization have made the transition nearly inevitable. 

The heightened experience of ‘utility’ extends to both consumers and even businesses. From hailing a taxi or buying groceries to quick entertainment and daily productivity tools, everything is/can be made available as-a-service. So how did XaaS get to this point? — where it’s now the preferred operating model of choice for delivering any IT function as a service for consumption.

The ‘as-a-service’ concept is universally understood to be an analogue of cloud computing. It is predicted to be valued at nearly $344B by 2024, growing at 24% over the next five years.

The approach has been around since the ‘60s when SaaS quickly replaced the older ASP (Application System Provider) model. The real reason the ASP model failed? It wasn’t scalable. Gone are the days of buying licensed software products and lengthy on-site installation processes. In contrast, with SaaS, enterprises can buy and pay for what they use. By taking advantage of virtualization and cloud-based scalability — users access the same code base, while their data and customized interfaces are kept separate.


Towards the close of the millennium, Salesforce built the very first complete SaaS product, which is still today — one of the World’s most widely used customer relationship management (CRM) tools. 

Over the next ten years, SaaS quickly decentralized into Desktop; Data; Network; Security; Infrastructure; and Platform-as-a-service. Today, any core business function can be delivered through this model, such as Marketing, Banking, Healthcare, Appliances and Gaming among many others. 

Consumers, in the meantime, have become increasingly familiar with ‘use without ownership’ type of products including movies-as-a-service (Netflix, Hulu); communication-as-a-service (Whatsapp, Snapchat)

While companies like Uber & Grab have leveraged ‘service-as-a-product’ effectively — shifting the balance from car ownership to transportation-as-a-service; others like Joule have moved towards outcome-based pricing where users can subscribe to cars without any time limit.

The essence of XaaS is simply delivering a service over the Internet, rather than on-site. The most efficient way to do this is through the cloud. Being more cheaper and efficient, the cloud services model witnessed mainstream adoption only within the last decade. The real advantage stays the ability for companies to wholly deliver a one-click operation for the end-user. 

Tesla has already disrupted the automobile industry with its radical as-a-service concept: upgrade your car (software) for free, for life! Tesla is also planning to shift to pay-as-you-use models including autonomously renting out your car when you are on holiday. 

Consumers easily get behind this technology because it reduces any ownership risk and encourages more users to try these services at affordable and competitive pricing. This is how and why we have pizza-as-a-service today! Hence XaaS. 

How does XaaS help your business?

There are currently over 5.6 million professional and creative services companies in operation around the world. Technology is constantly evolving the state of how we do business, and the operating models we use today will have to adapt to innovations that disrupt tomorrow.

The Real Impact of XaaS

  1. The Cloud has moved beyond the “hype” realm into a digital must-have for any enterprise. Regardless of the size of the business, the cloud is your best bet for maximum scalability and mobility.

  2. One-to-many is now a customizable relationship, thanks to XaaS models that help you deploy services with precision and speed.

  3. Agile enablement calls for being nimble across software delivery. Create business value through incremental, sustainable, and measurable agility.

  4. Plug and Play allows for maximizing combined services, greater efficiency gains, and uptime — giving your business the autonomy to use services as and when you need.

  5. Resource & Cost-lax operations reduce major overheads by 3-5X by leveraging the right consumption-based models.

The move away from legacy business mechanisms, ties to the resource-intensive effort of shifting from selling products to selling capabilities. If the front office and back office aren’t aligned, the business will struggle to move forward.

Enterprises are increasingly looking to achieve results through as-a-service models—using hybrid delivery—that can be explicitly configured to deliver critical business outcomes in a short turnaround time.

Empowering Frontline Healthcare Sales Teams with Mobile-First Tools

In healthcare, field sales is more than just hitting quotas—it’s about navigating a complex stakeholder ecosystem that spans hospitals, clinics, diagnostics labs, and pharmacies. Reps are expected to juggle compliance, education, and relationship-building—all on the move.

But, traditional systems can’t keep up. 

Only 28% of a rep’s time is spent selling; the rest is lost to administrative tasks, CRM updates, and fragmented workflows.

Salesforce, State of Sales 2024

This is where mobile-first sales apps in healthcare are changing the game—empowering sales teams to work smarter, faster, and more compliantly.

The Real Challenges in Traditional Field Sales

Despite their scale, many healthcare sales teams still rely on outdated tools that drag down performance:

  • Paper-based reporting: Slows down data consolidation and misses real-time insights
  • Siloed CRMs: Fragmented systems lead to broken workflows

According to a study by HubSpot, 32% of reps spend at least an hour per day just entering data into CRMs.

  • Managing Visits: Visits require planning, which may involve a lot of stress since doctors have a busy schedule, making it difficult for sales reps to meet them.
  • Inconsistent feedback loops: Managers struggle to coach and support reps effectively
  • Compliance gaps: Manual processes are audit-heavy and unreliable

These issues don’t just affect productivity—they erode trust, delay decisions, and increase revenue leakage.

What a Mobile-First Sales App in Healthcare Should Deliver

According to Deloitte’s 2025 Global Healthcare Executive Outlook, organizations are prioritizing digital tools to reduce burnout, drive efficiency, and enable real-time collaboration. A mobile-first sales app in healthcare is a critical part of this shift—especially for hybrid field teams dealing with fragmented systems and growing compliance demands.

Core Features of a Mobile-First Sales App in Healthcare

1. Smart Visit Planning & Route Optimization

Field reps can plan high-impact visits, reduce travel time, and log interactions efficiently. Geo-tagged entries ensure field activity transparency.

2. In-App KYC & E-Detailing

According to Viseven, over 60% of HCPs prefer on-demand digital content over live rep interactions, and self-detailing can increase engagement up to 3x compared to traditional methods.
By enabling self-detailing within the mobile app, reps can deliver compliance-approved content, enable interactive, personalized detailing during or after HCP visits, and give HCPs control over when and how they engage.

3. Real-Time Escalation & Commission Tracking

Track escalation tickets and incentive eligibility on the go, reducing back-and-forth and improving rep satisfaction.

4. Centralized Knowledge Hub

Push product updates, training videos, and compliance checklists—directly to reps’ devices. Maintain alignment across distributed teams. 

5. Live Dashboards for Performance Tracking

Sales leaders can view territory-wise performance, rep productivity, and engagement trends instantly, enabling proactive decision-making.

Case in Point: Digitizing Sales for a Leading Pharma Firm

Mantra Labs partnered with a top Indian pharma firm to streamline pharmacy workflows inside their ecosystem. 

The Challenge:

  • Pharmacists were struggling with operational inefficiencies that directly impacted patient care and satisfaction. 
  • Delays in prescription fulfillment were becoming increasingly common due to a lack of real-time inventory visibility and manual processing bottlenecks. 
  • Critical stock-out alerts were either missed or delayed, leading to unavailability of essential medicines when needed. 
  • Additionally, communication gaps between pharmacists and prescribing doctors led to frequent clarifications, rework, and slow turnaround times—affecting both speed and accuracy in dispensing medication. 

These challenges not only disrupted the pharmacy workflow but also created a ripple effect across the wider care delivery ecosystem.

Our Solution:

  • Inventory Management: Centralized tracking of sales, purchases, returns, and expiry alerts
  • Revenue Snapshot: Real-time tracking of dues, payments, and cash flow

  • Smart Reporting: Instant downloadable reports for accounts, stock, and sales

Business Impact:

  • 27% reduction in stock-out incidents through real-time alerts and inventory visibility
  • 81% reduction in manual errors, thanks to automation and real-time dashboards
  • Streamlined doctor-pharmacy coordination, leading to fewer clarifications and faster dispensing

Integration Is Key

A mobile-first sales app in healthcare is as strong as the ecosystem it fits into. Mantra Labs ensures seamless integration with:

  • CRM systems for lead and pipeline tracking
  • HRMS for leave, attendance, and performance sync
  • LMS to deliver ongoing training
  • Product Catalogs to support detailing and onboarding
