What’s New in VAI ERP: 10 Game-Changing Features from the Latest Release?

Wednesday, September 17, 2025

The latest VAI ERP release is a major step up in intelligence, automation, and usability, designed to keep businesses efficient, secure, and competitive. Highlights include an AI Virtual Assistant (IBM watsonx), new S2K Analytics reports and dashboards, a redesigned mobile app for anywhere ordering and sales analysis, a new eCommerce application on Liferay, an enhanced CRM with Outlook/Gmail sync, and AI-driven digital marketing via ActiveCampaign. A revamped Smart Center with a dynamic menu unifies access to portals, analytics, and core ERP, while new connectors/APIs (e.g., Shopify, Salesforce, Amazon) and low-code/workflow tools streamline integration and process design. Beyond these, 300+ customer-driven improvements—spanning performance, security, bank reconciliation, and cargo ownership—add depth. Compared with prior versions, this release leans hard into embedded AI and openness to third-party platforms, delivering faster insights, better customer experiences, and lower manual effort. Upgrading is a strategic move for teams seeking productivity and growth, with the usual planning for cost, training, and change management.
