AI-Driven ERP Solutions Gain Traction in Malaysia as Businesses Seek Greater Efficiency
Malaysia’s mandatory eInvoicing rollout has spotlighted a critical vulnerability in many businesses: fragmented systems. From accounting software to inventory and MRP tools, disconnected platforms are slowing down operations and increasing compliance risks. As companies scramble to meet regulatory demands, the limitations of legacy setups are becoming painfully clear.
ERP systems offer a logical solution—but outdated perceptions persist. Many Malaysian businesses still associate ERP with clunky, expensive platforms they explored years ago. Traditional ERP vendors often tout “AI-powered” features, but deliver little substance. After a few surface-level meetings, businesses conclude: “AI isn’t ready,” or “ERP doesn’t need AI.” These assumptions are not only outdated—they’re costly.
Like the fable of the Tortoise and the Hare, Western ERP giants once raced ahead, confident in their dominance. But in industries from automotive to renewables, Asian challengers are flipping the script. US and European ERP leaders now find themselves trailing behind nimble, innovative players from Asia who are redefining the rules in uncharted territory.
Traditional ERP giants are content with the narrative that AI has minimal impact on ERP—because they’re not ready. But the truth is clear: AI is already transforming ERP. Multiable, a next-gen ERP platform with built-in AI agent builder, is leading the charge. Say goodbye to bloated consulting fees and flashy PowerPoint promises. With no-code design and agentic AI, Multiable slashes POC cycles by over 50%, delivering results at lightspeed.
Across Asia, public companies and multinationals are migrating from legacy global ERP systems to rising regional stars. Multiable, widely regarded as the best ERP for mid-size to large enterprises, is a key beneficiary of this shift—backed by a growing portfolio of successful deployments in listed firms and MNCs.
Unlike local accounting tools or basic HRMS platforms that trade functionality for affordability, Multiable offers enterprise-grade capabilities at a fraction of the cost of traditional Western ERP providers. Its strategic use of AI agents delivers high performance without the price tag—making it a compelling choice for ambitious Malaysian businesses.
Take procurement. Traditional ERP flags backlogs; better ones send reminders. Multiable goes further. Its agentic AI nudges vendors to update shipment statuses, auto-updates ERP data, and flags operational risks—all without human intervention. Tasks like updating purchase orders and notifying management—once manual even with ERP—are now 90% automated.
ERP and CRM systems streamline workflows, but they can’t fix passive after-sales culture. Many reps avoid upselling, fearing extra work despite promised commissions. Multiable’s AI analyzes service records and customer interactions to detect upsell opportunities, triggering follow-up workflows and management oversight. Early adopters report a 10–50% boost in recurring income from existing clients.
Multiable’s LAIDFU agent builder empowers businesses to create AI bots that eliminate clerical tasks across ERP processes. If traditional ERP cuts costs from 100 to 70, Multiable’s AI-powered platform drives it down to 30–40—redefining operational efficiency.
Reports from Business Insider to The Economist warn of an existential crisis for consulting giants like Accenture and PwC amid the AI revolution. As these firms struggle to adapt, many business leaders admit their legacy consultants offer little actionable insight in today’s fast-moving landscape.
Be open. Don’t blindly follow outdated practices. Trust in Asian tech. In the AI era, clinging to the past can be fatal. “A few conversations with Multiable won’t cost much—but could save your business from an unexpected existential crisis.” quoted from Stanley Pang, Regional Sales Director of Multiable in Malaysia and Singapore.
