Top ERP Trends To Watch in 2025

As 2024 winds down, it’s hard not to reflect on how much has changed this year. AI took center stage, supply chains got smarter, and data became the backbone of decision-making. But through all this innovation, one truth stands out: your business is only as good as the tools you’re using.

Every time I talk to my customers, I hear the same frustration: “Our old ERP just isn’t cutting it.” And they’re right. Legacy systems can’t keep up with today’s fast-moving world. As we look ahead to 2025, the gap between what’s possible with modern, AI-powered ERP systems and outdated ones will only grow.

7 ERP Trends You’ll See in 2025

  1. AI-Driven Workflows: By mid-2026, over 60% of large organizations will have redesigned their workflows around AI, leading to up to 45% higher productivity. AI will streamline processes, automate repetitive tasks, and unlock new departmental efficiencies.
  2. Cloud-First ERP Solutions: The adoption of cloud-based ERP systems is expected to grow by 20% annually, driven by their flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency. Businesses will benefit from reduced infrastructure costs, seamless updates, and the ability to adapt quickly to market changes.
  3. Enhanced Data Security and Privacy: Advanced AI algorithms within ERP systems now support real-time threat detection and automated compliance tracking, reducing data breach risks by up to 50%. These systems will also offer robust encryption and anomaly detection as standard features.
  4. Mobile ERP Access and Remote Work Capabilities: With remote work becoming more prevalent, 70% of businesses are enhancing mobile access to ensure seamless operations from anywhere. Mobile-friendly dashboards and intuitive apps will empower employees to stay productive on the go.
  5. ERP and IoT Integration: Integrating ERP with IoT devices is projected to improve operational efficiency by 30%, providing real-time data insights. From tracking inventory to enabling predictive maintenance, IoT will transform operations across industries, offering unprecedented control and foresight.
  6. Sustainability and ESG Goals: By mid-2027, more than half of companies will use ERPs as hubs for tracking carbon emissions and monitoring sustainable practices. These systems will also help automate ESG reporting and enable businesses to achieve measurable sustainability goals.
  7. Modular and API-Driven Solutions: By 2027, 75% of global businesses will have begun replacing monolithic systems with modular, API-driven solutions. This flexibility allows organizations to implement only the features they need, reducing costs, complexity, and time-to-deploy.
