The Co-Pilot (also known as AI Co-Pilot or ERP Assistant) is a built-in AI-powered digital assistant designed to help ERP users work faster, smarter, and with fewer errors.
It brings conversational intelligence, predictive insights, and process automation directly into daily ERP workflows.
What Is an ERP Co-Pilot?
An ERP Co-Pilot acts like a personal assistant inside the ERP system — users can chat, ask questions, and give natural-language commands, and the Co-Pilot responds with data, actions, or recommendations.
“Show me pending invoices for Supplier X.”
“Generate a purchase order for the top 3 low-stock items.”
“Predict our cash flow for next month.”
