For supply chain leaders, it means real-time inventory optimization that reduces waste and improves fulfilment. These scenarios mirror real-world\u00a0<a class=\"reset interactable cursor-pointer decoration-1 underline-offset-1 text-super hover:underline font-semibold\" href=\"https:\/\/smartdev.com\/jp\/solutions\/ai-machine-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"text-box-trim-both\">AI in ERP benefits and applications<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 &#091;&amp;+p&#093;:mt-4 &#091;&amp;_strong:has(+br)&#093;:inline-block &#091;&amp;_strong:has(+br)&#093;:pb-2\">Wei highlighted that one of the most powerful applications of AI is\u00a0<strong>process mining<\/strong>\u2014analyzing user interactions and transactions to understand how work actually flows across an organization. This gives leaders a clear picture of what\u2019s working, what\u2019s not, and where AI-driven optimization can add value.

It helps organizations align strategy, operations, and execution in real time. As Wei explained, when companies move beyond short-term fixes and start connecting data across engineering, manufacturing, and sales, \u201cthat\u2019s when real transformation begins.\u201d This is consistent with\u00a0<a class=\"reset interactable cursor-pointer decoration-1 underline-offset-1 text-super hover:underline font-semibold\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.com\/blogs\/idc-futurescape-intelligent-erp-predictions-for-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"text-box-trim-both\">intelligent ERP predictions for 2025<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 &#091;&amp;+p&#093;:mt-4 &#091;&amp;_strong:has(+br)&#093;:inline-block &#091;&amp;_strong:has(+br)&#093;:pb-2\">AI also enables a more sustainable way of working.

The biggest barrier, according to Wei, is a\u00a0<strong>lack of understanding<\/strong>, not of technology itself, but of how it fits into the business context. Many organizations chase the latest AI features without ensuring their data, processes, or culture are ready. This reflects broader\u00a0<a class=\"reset interactable cursor-pointer decoration-1 underline-offset-1 text-super hover:underline font-semibold\" href=\"https:\/\/www.panorama-consulting.com\/generative-ai-adoption-challenges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"text-box-trim-both\">generative AI adoption challenges in business<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 &#091;&amp;+p&#093;:mt-4 &#091;&amp;_strong:has(+br)&#093;:inline-block &#091;&amp;_strong:has(+br)&#093;:pb-2\">He cautioned against implementing AI simply because it\u2019s fashionable: \u201cDon\u2019t pitch into AI because it\u2019s hype. Ask: \u2018what do we actually need for our organization?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 &#091;&amp;+p&#093;:mt-4 &#091;&amp;_strong:has(+br)&#093;:inline-block &#091;&amp;_strong:has(+br)&#093;:pb-2\">Poor data quality, fragmented systems, and insufficient user training are other common pitfalls. Wei also pointed out that many ERP transformations fail not because of technology, but because of people. When employees aren\u2019t properly trained or included in the process, resistance grows, and even the most advanced systems underperform. These issues are well-documented in\u00a0<a class=\"reset interactable cursor-pointer decoration-1 underline-offset-1 text-super hover:underline font-semibold\" href=\"https:\/\/apty.ai\/blog\/erp-implementation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"text-box-trim-both\">ERP implementation challenge overviews<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u305d\u3057\u3066\u00a0<a class=\"reset interactable cursor-pointer decoration-1 underline-offset-1 text-super hover:underline font-semibold\" href=\"https:\/\/alfapeople.com\/us\/5-major-erp-implementation-challenges-how-to-solve-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"text-box-trim-both\">studies on failed implementations<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"best-practices-to-get-started-with-ai-in-erp\" class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0 md:text-lg &#091;hr+&amp;&#093;:mt-4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Practices_to_Get_Started_with_AI_in_ERP\"><\/span>Best Practices to Get Started with AI in ERP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-2 &#091;&amp;+p&#093;:mt-4 &#091;&amp;_strong:has(+br)&#093;:inline-block &#091;&amp;_strong:has(+br)&#093;:pb-2\">Success with AI in ERP starts with clarity and humility.
