Among ERP trends, none seems to be more intriguing than the thought of a “self-driving” ERP. Like an autonomous vehicle or a self-driving car, an autonomous ERP would simply run itself. The vision is to have a system so smart it can handle supply chain needs automatically, monitor systems, control scheduling, run predictive maintenance, bill customers, and conduct quality control.

Warehouse inventory management software helps manufacturers and distributors manage several critical areas. These systems can be integrated with your ERP for seamless visibility into warehouse activity, including stock levels, inventory status, shipping status, and more. They can help organize warehouses for maximum efficiency and provide valuable information on critical stock status. Dedicated warehouse inventory management software offers manyadvantages over general business management software, including key features that can help you manage your inventory more effectively.
Your ERP manufacturing system already contains some form of AI. Certain types of artificial intelligence (AI) have been used for the past several years to augment ERP manufacturing systems, enabling them to process documents and transactions efficiently, and provide predictive analytics. What’s new to these systems is generative AI (GenAI), which provides intuitive, conversational interfaces. Integrating all three types of AI with your ERP manufacturing system brings many opportunities to tap into the data within the ERP to improve process efficiency, forecasting abilities, and automation.
