Implementing Generative AI for ERP Systems

Generative AI has been utilized effectively to enhance ERP system implementations, particularly in handling unstructured data like comments and notes. Traditional methods such as regex and text parsing struggled with these free-form fields, which often contained critical business information in inconsistent formats. By using an internal generative AI model, crucial details such as product pricing and operational hours were successfully extracted from these comment fields, demonstrating the model's ability to understand and process varying inputs. The integration of this AI technology into Alteryx further streamlined the data extraction process, enabling the team to pass multiple records through the model efficiently.
