The technologies that have shaped the future of how business have operated have become more prevalent. These advances in technology have become increasingly important in the New Now as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this blog, we will single out some of the technological trends that influence how businesses operate post-coronavirus pandemic.
Cloud Technology
Cloud ERP platforms allow for work to be done from just about anywhere, whether that is on-site in the warehouse, or from a home office.
As more people work to remote working on a semi-regular, or even permanent basis, having a cloud-based ERP will become more commonplace. These cloud-based mobile-friendly ERP solutions bring added benefits, like improved real-time data entry, and smoother standardized workflows throughout the company.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming less of a cool gadget and more of a necessity. Applications that rely on smart learning and adaptation are becoming core aspects of manufacturers’ strategies.
These AI applications are able to be scaled up as production and demand increases, and can seamlessly sync processes across the cloud. This in turn can optimize production efficiencies, and help save on operating costs.
Automation
In the New Now, automation paired with artificial intelligence can help with crucial optimal record-keeping processes. Epicor ERP dashboards can be customized to automatically notify you when you need to restock on raw materials automatically.
Reports in your CRM can also be automatically created and sent out, which can improve your customer-supplier relationships.
