Robotic Process Automation(RPA) to Intelligent Automation evolution

Businesses have been running on profits and profits usually are the function of the costs. After industrialization, the costs were reduced by creating efficient processes to run things smoothly over a predictable timeline. This was all good till the time computers came and along came the internet connectivity.

The processes moved from humble registers to computers and when the computer labor became costly in a certain market some of the processes moved to the low-cost centers. All this for maintaining the cost to generate more profits. The business process automation(BPA) has been doing the same. It is about finding the efficiencies in the business processes to cut down unnecessary steps and make them less costly.

RPA capabilities

The latest revolution was when the virtualized platforms that allowed the addition and removal of resources required for processes based on the workloads. This allowed the companies to investigate opportunities to define their processes based on automated rules. This was the evolution of the Robotic process automation.

RPA goes a step further in terms of making the repetitive processes automated so that human intervention is lost. A simple application for this could be rule-based responses you need to provide for certain workflows. When you code in the Rules once they do not need an intervention of any kind and the RPA takes care of it all. Companies have benefited by implementing RPA based solutions and processes to cut costs multiple times. This is the time where bots started taking over communication as one of the first use cases.

Where is RPA headed?

The current revolution is Industry 4.0 which is going to change the dynamic once again. The RPA process still requires to be trained before they can apply the rules correctly for the given use case. The AI, ML, and cognitive computing provide the capability of self-learning to these systems and make the learning an on the job task, very similar to human way of learning. This change of process automation is being touted as Intelligent robotic process automation (iRPA) and it is here to stay.

iRPA can not only make bots more intelligent with every interaction they have but can also be trained to identify new areas where they could start assisting. So let’s say you create a bot for customer support and over the period of time the bot can start providing options of features required in your products based on the feedback received in the interactions or provide you insights about whether a product may be successful or not based on similar product launches in the past.

iRPA is the future and use case are being defined for almost all industries however we feel that Insurance and banking would be the first ones to take the bite.

How Smarter Sales Apps Are Reinventing the Frontlines of Insurance Distribution

The insurance industry thrives on relationships—but it can only scale through efficiency, precision, and timely distribution. While much of the digital transformation buzz has focused on customer-facing portals, the real transformation is happening in the field, where modern sales apps are quietly driving a smarter, faster, and more empowered agent network.

Let’s explore how mobile-first sales enablement platforms are reshaping insurance sales across prospecting, onboarding, servicing, renewals, and growth.

The Insurance Agent Needs More Than a CRM

Today’s insurance agent is not just a policy seller—they’re also a financial advisor, data gatherer, service representative, and the face of the brand. Yet many still rely on paper forms, disconnected tools, and manual processes.

That’s where intelligent sales apps come in—not just to digitize, but to optimize, personalize, and future-proof the entire agent journey.

Real-World Use Cases: What Smart Sales Apps Are Solving

Across the insurance value chain, sales agent apps have evolved into full-service platforms—streamlining operations, boosting conversions, and empowering agents in the field. These tools aren’t optional anymore, they’re critical to how modern insurers perform. Here’s how leading insurers are empowering their agents through technology:

1. Intelligent Prospecting & Lead Management

Sales apps now empower agents to:

  • Prioritize leads using filters like policy type, value, or geography
  • Schedule follow-ups with integrated agent calendars
  • Utilize locators to look for nearby branch offices or partner physicians
  • Register and service new leads directly from mobile devices

Agents spend significantly less time navigating through disjointed systems or chasing down information. With quick access to prioritized leads, appointment scheduling, and location tools—all in one app—they can focus more on meaningful customer interactions and closing sales, rather than administrative overhead.

2. Seamless Policy Servicing, Renewals & Claims 

Sales apps centralize post-sale activities such as:

  • Tracking policy status, premium due date, and claims progress
  • Sending renewal reminders, greetings, and policy alerts in real-time
  • Accessing digital sales journeys and pre-filled forms.
  • Policy comparison, calculating premiums, and submitting documents digitally
  • Registering and monitoring customer complaints through the app itself

Customers receive a consistent and seamless experience across touchpoints—whether online, in-person, or via mobile. With digital forms, real-time policy updates, and instant access to servicing tools, agents can handle post-sale tasks like renewals and claims faster, without paperwork delays—leading to improved satisfaction and higher retention.

3. Remote Sales using Assisted Tools

Using smart tools, agents can:

  • Securely co-browse documents with customers through proposals
  • Share product visualizations in real time
  • Complete eKYC and onboarding remotely.

Agents can conduct secure, interactive consultations from anywhere—sharing proposals, visual aids, and completing eKYC remotely. This not only expands their reach to customers in digital-first or geographically dispersed markets, but also builds greater trust through real-time engagement, clear communication, and a personalized advisory experience—all without needing a physical presence.

4. Real-Time Training, Performance & Compliance Monitoring

Modern insurance apps provide:

  • On-demand access to training material
  • Commission dashboards and incentive monitoring
  • Performance reporting with actionable insights

Field agents gain access to real-time performance insights, training modules, and incentive tracking—directly within the app. This empowers them to upskill on the go, stay motivated through transparent goal-setting, and make informed decisions that align with overall business KPIs. The result is a more agile, knowledgeable, and performance-driven sales force.

5. End-to-End Sales Execution—Even Offline

Advanced insurance apps support:

  • Full application submission, from prospect to payment
  • Offline functionality in low-connectivity zones
  • Real-time needs analysis, quote generation, and e-signatures
  • Multi-login access with secure OTP-based authentication

Even in low-connectivity or remote Tier 2 and 3 markets, agents can operate at full capacity—thanks to offline capabilities, secure authentication, and end-to-end sales execution tools. This ensures uninterrupted productivity, faster policy issuance, and adherence to compliance standards, regardless of location or network availability.

6. AI-Powered Personalization for Health-Linked Products

Some forward-thinking insurers are combining AI with health platforms to:

  • Import real-time health data from fitness trackers or health apps 
  • Offer hyper-personalized insurance suggestions based on lifestyle
  • Enable field agents to tailor recommendations with more context

By integrating real-time health data from fitness trackers and wellness apps, insurers can offer hyper-personalized, preventive insurance products tailored to individual lifestyles. This empowers agents to move beyond transactional selling—becoming trusted advisors who recommend coverage based on customers’ health habits, life stages, and future needs, ultimately deepening engagement and improving long-term retention.
