Intelligent ERP systems offer many benefits, including:

• Machine learning (ML);

• Enhanced business processes;
• Differentiated user experience (UX); and
• Product improvement.

Specialists say that iERP is the next wave of enterprise applications, but what do we exactly
expect from iERP (intelligent ERP)?

Here are a few things to look for:

Machine Learning

Intelligent ERP applications make use of Machine Learningand advanced analytics

to predict, track, study, analyze, report, and manage business operations and
company resources efficiently.

The features of iERP systems are adaptive, assisted, conversational UX and in-
memory computing technology that help in extracting key information and
streamlining business processes.

Further, as an iERP system learns, the application allows you to form forecasting
analytics and predictive solutions. You can use that information to modify and
reconfigure business development.

Enhanced Business Processes

With the proficiency to learn from exceptions and getting accustomed to business
rules, iERP allows its users to get new insights, have accurate forecasts and
predictions, set process automation, and develop recommendations for further
steps. Users can seamlessly monitor information and set up defined targets for
business transactions or forecasts. Once done with the setting up targets, any
information obtained will help users adapt and perform any changes required
quickly.

Enhanced User Experience: 

Another vertical of benefits of intelligent ERP systems is that they can affect the User
Experience (UX) and influence the way your employees do their tasks. However, previous
ERP software required manual interpretation to extract the data they needed to do the
tasks, often entangled in discussing it at length than before putting it into play. Intelligent
ERP systems can efficiently do much of that busy work, enabling users to accomplish their
tasks.
Product Quality Improvement:

By integrating intelligent ERP, manufacturers can improvetheir products and

materials two folds. First, manufacturers using iERP can have the opportunity to
form an open system of communication with their employees. Thus, improving the
development of products. Second, by using the automatic suggestions for
improvisation, manufacturing sector can use the iERP for making certain
adjustments to their products, inventory, or often overlooked manufacturing
processes.
