SYSPRO offers a scalable ERP solution with AI technology that is easy to adopt and integrate.
Centralize and analyze your organization's ERP data
Smart factories reduce unplanned downtime, improve product design, increase efficiency, and improve product quality and worker safety.
Key enablers of AI:
- Smart sensors - enables real-time data collection from production processes
- Internet of Things - manage large amounts of data from all aspects of production
- Cloud computing - enabling connections to store, access, and process data
How SYSPRO ERP integrates AI technology
Predictions
Use historical data to predict the future. Example: from a seasonal perspective, predict when a customer might purchase a particular product or use historical data to predict when a customer might default on payments based on past behavior.
Anomaly detection
SYSPRO's AI engine monitors operator activity, flagging anomalies like unusually large transactions.
Example: if Joe, who typically processes $7,000 orders, suddenly enters a $100,000 order, the AI would alert relevant personnel to investigate potential fraud or error.
Computer vision
Computer vision, used in autonomous vehicles, can enhance factory safety and quality of products/services in SYSPRO ERP.
Example: facial recognition can verify authorized machine operators, while image analysis can conduct real-time quality checks on products.
Additional practical applications of AI and Machine learning with SYSPRO include the following:
Supply chain management
Supply chain operations can be optimised by analyzing historical data on inventory levels, demand patterns, transportation costs, and supplier performance. AI can alert procurement teams to potential supplier issues, eliminating the need for manual report generation and searching.
Customer account management
Streamline account management by automatically detecting trends and anomalies. Example: AI can analyze sales, returns, and credit data to identify potential issues or opportunities.
Finance
Cash flow prediction can help businesses anticipate payment delays.
ML can also identify anomalous financial transactions identifying fraud or human error.
Example: a CFO could receive early warnings about potential 60-day payment delays, allowing them to adjust purchasing and supplier payments accordingly.
Demand forecasting
Analyse historical sales data, market trends, and external factors to generate accurate demand forecasts. This helps manufacturers optimise production planning, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction by ensuring product availability.

Leverage Machine Learning (ML) to achieve optimal performance
Product development
Collect and analyse product data to understand customer needs, uncover hidden problems, and identify new business opportunities. By leveraging ML, companies can mitigate risks in product development by gaining valuable insights.
Quality control
ML models can be trained on data from production lines via sensors, cameras, and other sources, to identify patterns and deviations associated with product defects thus reducing waste and improving product quality.
Supply chain management
Analyse historical data on supply chain operations, including inventory levels, demand patterns, transportation costs, and supplier performance. This can help optimize inventory management, identify bottlenecks, and optimize logistics operations.
Predictive maintenance
Manufacturers waste resources fixing faults instead of allocating planned maintenance. ML applications can analyse data from sensors and equipment to predict equipment failures before they occur and allow maintenance to be scheduled, thus reducing unnecessary downtime.
Procurement
Procurement teams are made more efficient by alerting them to potential supplier problems. In the past, this problem would only be identified by running reports and doing intense manual searching on supplier capabilities.
Finance
Predict an organization’s cash flow and manage purchases from suppliers by triggering an alert if a customer payment will exceed the due date and enter a different age bracket. ML can also identify anomalous financial transactions that may be due to fraud or human error.
Process optimization
Manufacturers can use ML algorithms to analyse sensor data and historical process data to optimise production processes and improve overall efficiency.
