s AI Shaping the Future of ERP
Software? Undoubtedly, yes! In the
foreseeable future, AI will have a
profound impact on almost every piece of
software available in the market, including
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems,
in some form or fashion. AI in ERP is going
to affect the very essence of the system-
controlled business operations.
While AI technology is still in relative infancy,
the new Machine Learning is making
serious waves in the software market and
making inroads into business management
applications, endowing them with the power
of superior governance structure.
According to Gartner, by 2020, 30% of all
companies will employ AI to augment at
least one of their primary sales processes.
Impact of AI on industries
AI has the potential to bring change on
a wide scale to companies, where the
customer and operational data is primary to
the business. Naturally, it’s unfair to single
out any one industry vertical.
While that being said, and every industry
has its share in the benefits, the impact of
the new technology is most prominent in
process-heavy and data-intensive sectors
that have the highest dependency on
future predictions done on the basis of
historic information.
AI can help the companies organise a
large volume of data and turn a limitation
into an opportunity. AI has tremendous
opportunities to augment human
capabilities across industries. The technology
is transforming systems through creativity
and agility.
AI in manufacturing
The manufacturing industry is already
using Augmented Reality and predictive
analysis tools. With the introduction of AI
and Machine Learning, these companies can
take a leap into a digital future to achieve
improved process optimisation.
AI technology augments manufacturing
efficiency to ensure faster production in
less time. Right from planned preventative
maintenance to every other operation

performed in any manufacturing plant, AI
would revolutionise them and make them
more efficient and less prone to errors.
AI in retail
AI will bring change in the way retail
businesses function today. It would enable
retailers to use augmented and virtual reality
functionalities in advertising. Introduce
immersive product catalogue visualisation to
dramatically improve shoppers’ experience
with the products even before they buy.
