ERP software: what should we look out for in 2025?

As the enterprise technology and tech landscape continues to evolve, it will inevitably also merge with the ERP software market. 

Companies are now relying on ERP systems to manage their operations more than ever before as organisations are required to quickly adapt the management of their entire business operations to meet their business goals.

Here are just some of the key ERP implementations to look for in 2025.

AI and automation

Forever talked about for a reason, AI is key for the future of ERP. AI-driven ERP systems will evolve and become more available, providing more sophisticated process automation, coupled with predictive insights. AI is an effective tool that can help businesses identify opportunities and threats while improving strategic planning and operational efficiency. 

Mobile ERP

Fast becoming a necessary operational tool, mobile ERP solutions can accelerate business processes and boost productivity, saving time, resources, and costs. Designed to manage operations ‘on the go,’ apps include mobile CRM, proof of delivery, warehouse, point-of-sale (POS), purchase approval, employee attendance apps, and more. ERP systems will fast become more intuitive and easier to use, and will likely be accessible from any smartphone. 

Cloud solutions

Many more companies are now moving huge amounts of ERP data into cloud storage because their obvious advantages have dispelled those reservations. The adoption of cloud solutions will accelerate into 2025, and ERP systems will integrate with further emerging technologies. 

Blockchain

We will continue to see Blockchain technology integrated with ERP systems, providing transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain. This can specifically help the manufacturing industry, as retailers verify the authenticity and origin of products. 

Personalisation

Research is everything for ERP; a huge example will be retail ERP systems that will provide insights into customer behaviour and preferences, allowing retailers to personalise customer interactions and improve the sales funnel and overall process.
