Artificial intelligence is not a module that can simply be “added” to an ERP system. In much of the market, AI is used as a marketing label rather than as a truly integrated part of business processes. Real value emerges only when AI is embedded into the way data, documents, and content are handled on a daily basis—consistently, measurably, and with clear business impact.
At PLANA, we use AI as a practical tool for process optimisation, not as an abstract innovation. Our focus is on ERP systems and intelligent solutions that automate routine operations, improve data analysis, and provide businesses with a stronger foundation for decision-making.
AI in ERP Systems: Automation Where It Truly Matters
The integration of AI into ERP systems is primarily focused on accounting, document management, and financial control. By applying artificial intelligence, we automate the processing of invoices, documents, and financial data, significantly reducing manual workload and minimising the risk of human error.
In a real ERP environment, this means handling large volumes of documents on a daily basis without manual intervention at every step. AI operates directly within the process flow—not as an external tool, but as an integral part of the system itself. As a result, ERP solutions evolve from simple data repositories into intelligent platforms for business management.
AI for Automated Translation and Content Localisation in E-commerce
In international e-commerce, speed and consistency of content are critical. This is where AI proves its value as a content and e-commerce solution, rather than as a customer management tool. In our collaboration with SportHero, we implemented AI-based automated translation and localization of product descriptions, enabling rapid publication of catalogs across multiple languages.
These AI solutions do not work with isolated texts but with structured product data. Artificial intelligence preserves terminology, context, and catalog logic, ensuring consistent and high-quality content for different markets. The result is faster market entry, improved user experience, and a substantial reduction in manual effort.
Automated Reporting and Analysis with AI
One of the most valuable benefits of AI integration is the automatic generation of reports and analyses. In an ERP environment, this means faster access to financial data, consolidated reports, and analytical insights—without complex manual operations. AI extracts and structures information so that it can be used directly for informed management decisions.
Practical AI Applications for Business Process Optimisation
In our day-to-day work, artificial intelligence is applied with a clear focus on solving specific business challenges:
Automated OCR processing of documents and invoices within ERP systems, accelerating accounting workflows and improving data accuracy.
AI-based translation and localisation of product descriptions for e-commerce platforms, ensuring consistency and contextual correctness.
Support for ERP software development and code refactoring, improving code quality and reducing development time.
Automated generation of reports and analyses, based on real-time data from ERP systems.
These applications demonstrate how AI functions as a productivity tool rather than a technological showcase.
What’s Next
The next step in the evolution of our AI solutions is the development of a tool integrated directly into the ERP environment that allows users to interact with data using natural language. Users will be able to request reports and analyses without technical knowledge or complex interfaces. This is not an experimental approach, but a natural continuation of AI processes already in place and proven to optimize ERP workflows.
Artificial Intelligence as a Real Competitive Advantage
The true value of artificial intelligence is measured by results. When AI is properly integrated into ERP and content processes, it leads to faster operations, better data control, and higher efficiency of software solutions. AI is not a future concept—it is already a functional part of modern ERP systems when implemented with a clear understanding of business needs and processes.
