IoT World is getting trendier and fashionable with these Latest trends

xl-2016-internet-of-things-1

Let your treadmill pass on the data to your wearable hand devices that could be read on your smart phone with visual and analytics. Or how about you casting your mobile to Office projector while all are having their evening snacks and enjoying live cricket?

Let’s see what are the latest trends in IOT.

Welcome to Connected World!

Research experts like Gartner Say 8.4 Billion Connected “Things” Will Be in Use in 2017, Up 31 Percent From 2016. On the other hand, firms like Intel predicts that there would 200 million connected devices by 2020. With such a rapid growth startups and big firms are keen in observing the space. So, here we bring on the latest trends shaping the world of IoT [ Internet of things].

An Increase in Miniscule Products

Products like sensors and cameras may be little in existence, but the power they hold makes them sustainable in the long run. Smart homes, Smart cars, climate control, home security are some of the aspects that need these sensors and devices. In future, we may see them as default items in IoT world, but for now, they are the stepping stone and would create an impact in IoT domain.

Evolution of IoT Squares 

A very peculiar case of IoT is that the Amazon Prime video cannot be cast via Google Chormecast, the user needs to purchase Amazon Firestick if he must enable casting. With such a wide range of hardware and software list, users can’t be loyal to just one firm. Hence the need for gateways that allow software’s, hardware, apps, devices of various vendors to connect, interact and communicate without the need to change it.

These markets would not only help the users but the firms who want to want to automate their legacy equipment. They could just tap into industrial drivers, hubs, data visualization, monitoring and data mapping modules and reap the benefits.

Let the Data Do the Talking

Big Data is not an emerging trend anymore, but a default technology adopted by most of the businesses. However using Big data with IoT cloud could help many firms in making an informed decision. Just for example an insurtech firm could gather the driving behavior and pattern of his customer using sensors and could design a customized policy that suits his needs.

IoT Analytics is an upcoming trend, and many of the start-ups are eager to provide the optimum solution to other businesses.

Integrate IoT with Machine Learning

Machine learning is another emerging trend that experts are confident would change the future. But its benefits could be manifold if it’s integrated with IoT. Mantra’s innovative solution XAVI is the best example here. Just imagine you entering the home after a long tiring day and wished someone could switch on your lights tv and air conditioner. XAVI is a genie that allows you to do so with your voice or through a mobile app. As you get comfortable on your sofa, you could issue a command to list all English movie to be aired in next 15 minutes, and in no time, you could have an exclusive list of it on your tv screen.

It would also help firms in gathering data of individual usage patterns and would assist them in building more cognitive technology.

Security the Major Opportunity

With every new technology first question posed is – Is it safe? While many people believe interconnection could make systems more vulnerable to attacks, the opportunists believe it as a space to explore and come with a more robust solution to keep devices and data protected.

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.
