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.

Sales Applications Are Disrupting More Than Just Sales

Sales success today isn’t about luck or lofty goals—it’s about having the right tools in your team’s hands, wherever they go. Following our earlier in-depth exploration of sales technology, we will now examine how cutting-edge sales apps are becoming the backbone of modern industries, transforming complex workflows into seamless, growth-driving machines.

From retail to healthcare, logistics to real estate, businesses are deploying sales applications to enhance operational transparency, cut redundant tasks, and build intelligent sales ecosystems. These tools are not only digitizing workflows—they’re driving growth, improving engagement, and redefining how field teams operate.

Lead Ecosystems: Unified visibility across channels

One app. Five workflows. Zero friction.

A leading insurance brand relaunched their app—a sleek, powerful sales companion that’s turning everyday agents into top performers.

No more paperwork. More time to sell.

Here’s what changed:

  • Every visit is tagged, tracked, and followed through. Renewals? Never missed. Leads? Fully visible.
  • Attendance and reimbursements went on autopilot. No more manual logs. No more chasing approvals.
  • New business and renewals are tracked in real time, with accurate forecasting that sales leaders can finally trust.
  • Dashboards are clean, configurable, and useful—insights that move the business, not just report on it.
  • Seamless Integrations. API connectivity with Darwin Box, IMD Master Data, and SSO authentication for a unified experience.

The result? A field team that moves faster, sells better, and works smarter.

Retail: Taking Orders from the Frontline—Smartly

Field sales agents in retail, especially FMCG, used to rely on gut instinct. Now, with intelligent sales applications:

  • AI recommends what to upsell or cross-sell based on previous order patterns
  • Real-time stock availability and credit status are visible in the app
  • Geo-fencing ensures optimized route planning
  • Built-in payment collection modules streamline transaction closure

Healthcare: Structuring Sales with Compliance and Precision

Healthcare leaders don’t need more reports—they need better visibility from the field.  Whether it’s engaging hospital networks, onboarding clinics, or enabling diagnostics at the last mile, everything needs precision, compliance, and clarity. 

Mantra Labs helped a leading healthcare enterprise design a sales app that integrates knowledge, compliance, performance, and recognition, turning frontline agents into informed, aligned, and empowered brand advocates. 

Here’s what it delivers:

  • Role-based onboarding that keeps every level of the field force aligned and accountable
  • Escalation mechanisms are built into the system, driving transparency across commissions and performance reviews
  • A centralized Knowledge Hub featuring healthcare news, service updates, and training modules to keep reps well-informed
  • Recognition modules that celebrate milestones, boost morale, and reinforce a culture of excellence

Now, the field agents aren’t just connected—they’re aligned, upskilled, and accountable.

Real Estate: From Cold Calls to Smart Conversions

For real estate agents, timing and personalization are everything. Sales applications are evolving to include:

  • Virtual site tour integration for remote buyers
  • Mortgage and EMI calculators to increase buyer confidence
  • WhatsApp-based lead capture and nurture sequences
  • CRM integration for inventory updates and automatic scheduling

Logistics: From Chaos to Control in Field Coordination

Field agents in logistics are switching from clipboards to real-time command centers on mobile. Modern sales applications offer:

  • Live delivery status and route deviation alerts
  • Automated dispute reporting and issue resolution tracking
  • Fleet coordination through integrated GPS modules
  • Customer feedback capture and SLA dashboards

What’s new & what’s next in Sales Applications?

Here’s what’s pushing the next wave of innovation:

  • Voice-to-Text Logging: Agents dictate notes while on the move.
  • AI-Powered Nudges: Apps that suggest next-best actions based on behavior.
  • Omnichannel Communication: In-app chat, WhatsApp, email—unified.
  • Role-Based Dashboards: Different data views for admins, managers, and field reps.

What does this mean for Business Leaders?

Sales Applications are not just tactical tools. They’re platforms for transformation. With the right design, integrations, and analytics, they:

  • Replace guesswork with intelligence
  • Reduce the cost of delay and manual labor
  • Improve agent accountability and transparency
  • Speed up decision-making across hierarchies

The future of field sales lies in intuitive, AI-driven applications that adapt to every industry’s nuances. At Mantra Labs, we work closely with enterprises to custom-build sales applications that align with business objectives and ground-level realities.

Conclusion: 

If your agents still rely on Excel trackers and daily call reports, it’s time to reimagine your sales operations. Let us help you bring your field operations into the future—with tools that are fast, field-tested, and built for scale.
