Transforming ERP and CRM Operations with AI Agents in Manufacturing

Introduction

In the manufacturing sector, operational efficiency and seamless integration between Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems are crucial. A mid-sized industrial boiler manufacturer with an annual revenue of $75 million faced significant challenges in these areas. Despite substantial investments in traditional ERP infrastructure, the company struggled with fragmented order processing, inventory management delays, inconsistent communication between sales and production teams, and slow customer inquiry responses. These inefficiencies hindered growth and customer satisfaction.
