ERP Trends for 2022

It is true that now more than ever, businesses rely on ERP for their proper operation, from HR and Finance to marketing automation and eCommerce. Every year, ERP evolves to incorporate newer technologies, and more functionalities, and take advantage of the latest trends. Let’s take a closer look.

Personalized ERP solutions

Although, until very recently, all-in-one solutions seemed to have strong supporters in the business world, in 2022 they are expected to be a thing of the past. The new trend indicates that we will take one step forward, with providers offering more personalized solutions, since modern cloud ERP solutions provide the right tools to create personalized experiences.
Therefore, we expect ERP solutions to offer an even more integrated and personalized user interface in the next two years, thus becoming more customer-centric and accessible. With the development of new technologies, such as AI, ERP solutions will be able to seamlessly integrate with such innovations, which will result in the generation of new processes and an overall upgraded ERP landscape.

Mobile support

Gone are the days when users would access ERP solutions only from a single device. Integrated mobile support will be one of the key features of modern ERP for 2022 and beyond.
Mobile support does not only offer access to data on the go, but also brings additional benefits such as the ability to perform various tasks anytime, anywhere. Thanks to the establishment of remote work, employees can perform back-end and front-end tasks no matter where they are.
In addition, collaboration for remote groups in different time zones is encouraged. Mobile support improves communication among teams, minimizing delays.

Real-time insights

Real-time data access offers significant business benefits. Real-time analytics is used by team members to improve the flexibility of their operations and is the key to real-time insights and logistics management. Unsurprisingly, ERP systems offer real-time data insights as a main feature.
Businesses rely on timely and accurate information. Therefore, ERP systems focus on providing businesses with the means to collect reliable information in real time. Of course, it is not just about data collection. Real-time analytics contributes to the smooth operation of the business, through the uninterrupted communication of all relevant data to all departments. In 2022, we expect a stronger focus on real-time data insights that enable businesses to make the right decisions.

Powerful data analytics

Although some legacy systems can collect and organize data, they do not have the powerful data analytics features of modern cloud ERP systems. Within 2022, we expect more tools, data visualization and built-in analytics that will help business leaders make decisions based on data and anticipate future trends.
