Customer information, invoices, sales orders, and other data started to be stored in these systems. A good thing, right? Even if these systems made a huge difference, other scenarios came with the adoption of the new ERP: *Manual data entry*. While machines are great, humans inevitably make mistakes. Also, we still can’t read minds, so if someone makes a mistake, or changes data without informing others, it can lead to inaccuracies and subsequent issues. *Lack of integration between ERP and CRM*. People not talking with each other unless something happens is complicated enough, so if you add systems not talking to each other either, more problems arise. Connecting these systems with an AI-powered data integration platform like Commercient SYNC improves functionality, boosts user adoption, and enables more strategic use of data.Paradoxically, having your systems connected makes your team’s communication easier and faster! Besides connecting systems, there’s another cool player in town taking up space: AI Agents. So, to enhance ERP use, adoption, and ROI out of this investment, ERP AI agents are critical.
