  • Call agents follow up with stockists
  • Collection of Sales and stock statements
  • Automated data import into our Kea-channels modules

3. Robotic Process Automation

With the rapid adoption of Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Pharma Industry can use “bots” effectively in many areas.

We are an authorized partner for a leader in RPA, i.e. UiPath. We have developed a “Docbot” that can help in Doctor registration verification and better Doctor profiling, thereby helping in compliance and improved content for doctor messages.

What does Docbot do?

Today, it is important that companies verify the registration number of the doctors on their list, for compliance reasons. Many companies are keen to do this exercise by checking the doctor registration number with the country’s official Medical Registry. For every 10000 doctors on their list, this exercise can take up to 30 man-days of work manually, where as our “Docbot” can do it in 3 days!. We offer this as a service.

Case Study on RPA and Dr Registration Verification

The other area where our clients are utilizing the services of our “Docbot” is profiling. Our bot is programmed to scrape pre-defined data fields from public portals and web sites to enhance doctor profiling significantly.
We can assist Pharma companies in other RPA projects also.
