AI-Driven Tools: Revolutionizing Sales Operations | Salesfeel

Executive Summary

Boost sales efficiency with AI-driven tools! Automate reporting, optimize field operations & cut costs. See how AI transformed this pharma company’s success!

A pharmaceutical company struggled with inefficiencies in its sales operations, including manual reporting, limited field monitoring, cumbersome expense management, and inconsistent communication. By adopting AI-driven tools, the company streamlined workflows, reduced reporting time by four hours per agent each week, increased productivity by 15%, and optimized resource management. This case study highlights how tailored digital solutions transformed business processes and accelerated growth.

Project Overview

The project focused on optimizing mobile and web application UI/UX using Flutter, Yii2, and AngularJS to ensure seamless functionality. Conducted between January 2019 and April 2021, the initiative offered SME-friendly pricing with scalable options for future expansion.

The Client and Their Challenges

The pharmaceutical company, which managed over 200 field agents, faced major operational hurdles. Agents spent five hours each week compiling handwritten reports, often submitting them late or incomplete, creating operational blind spots. Managers lacked real-time oversight, which led to unproductive travel routes and uneven workloads. Expense management was inefficient, as approval delays for travel and daily allowances caused frustration among agents. Static email PDFs served as the primary method for product knowledge updates, but many agents ignored or forgot them before client interactions. Additionally, inefficient tracking of product sample distribution led to a 30% surplus in annual costs.

The Solution

We developed a mobile application for field agents and a web-based admin dashboard for managers. Automated reporting replaced manual entries, reducing reporting time from five hours to just one hour per week. AI-powered pre-filling used historical data to streamline data entry, allowing agents to log daily visits and orders in real-time.

GPS-enabled location tracking provided managers with real-time oversight of agent movements, optimizing travel routes and reducing unnecessary trips. Agents uploaded receipts for travel and allowances directly into the app, where AI flagged incomplete or duplicate claims, cutting approval delays by 50%.

We also introduced on-demand training resources, including videos, product details, and quizzes. A gamified approach encouraged completion, and performance analytics helped managers assess agent readiness for client meetings. Attendance tracking allowed managers to review productivity based on daily check-ins and client visits. For better resource allocation, an AI-driven system monitored product sample distribution, reducing waste and identifying high-demand regions.

Implementation Challenges and Solutions

Many agents initially resisted the new technology. To address this, we conducted interactive workshops and live demonstrations, which quickly improved adoption rates. Some AI models misclassified expense claims and report entries in the early stages. By incorporating user feedback and retraining models, we improved accuracy by 60% within two months. Integrating the app with existing CRM and accounting systems posed another challenge, but our custom APIs ensured a seamless data flow.

Results That Speak

Within six months, field agents increased productivity by 15%, directly contributing to a 20% revenue boost. Improved sample tracking reduced wastage by 25%, while automated reporting saved each agent an average of four hours per week. With AI optimizing their workflow, agents spent more time engaging with clients rather than handling administrative tasks.

Lessons Learned

Iterative development played a crucial role in the project’s success. By continuously refining features based on user feedback, we ensured system reliability. Transparent communication and hands-on training helped ease the transition. A user-focused design approach led to high adoption rates and positive engagement.

Next Steps

The company plans to enhance fraud detection by using AI to identify high-risk expense claims. Sentiment analysis will help monitor customer satisfaction and predict churn. Additionally, adaptive learning tools will personalize training modules, improving agent performance.
