AI Innovation Race: Multiable’s LAIDFU and DeepSeek’s Cost-Effective LLM Stir Up the ERP Market

Innovation in the AI space is hardly cheap, especially with traditional Western brands involved. Alternative manufacturers, however, have dramatically shifted the game with offerings like DeepSeek, an AI technology that shows how to train a powerful Large Language Model (LLM) at a fraction of the cost as compared to its Silicon Valley counterparts. It has proven that the few of the traditional software firms are probably being overcharged for something that they might not necessarily need. What additionally is very cool is multiable’s introduction of the latest configuration of an AI agent called LAIDFU (Let AI Do For You) that is developed by Multiable. It supports users in leveraging both OpenAI and DeepSeek capabilities.

In fact, this AI agent is demonstrating its Generative AI (GenAI) strengths by having the best of multi-step processes, which is a good progress for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. These AI agents are like ‘keys’ to ERP systems, which in turn, releases more natural communication and outsourcing of jobs that traditional systems are not capable of. Consequently, businesses are beginning to turn their attention to these more flexible AI solutions.

Multiable leads the way not only because of its AI agent, but also for its commitment to simplifying the compliance of local regulations. In Malaysia, where e-invoicing compliance is paramount, the firm facilitates e-invoicing through the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) and offers free e-invoicing API calls to its customers on the subscription of SaaS or through software assurance. On the other hand, this is very different from the typical approach taken by most software vendors in Malaysia, who charge fees for e-invoicing API usage. This project not only allows businesses to save money, but also ensures compliance without extra cost burdens.

Manufacturing is a sector which can benefit the most from the use of AI and machine resources like MES, CRP and IQC. One of the advantages is the complete process transition from resource planning to improved operations, to the environment. The interaction between AI and ERP systems has resulted in improvements in production efficiency, better quality control, and even reduced environmental impact, while there are issues like high labor turnover.

Without a doubt, the integration of AI and ERP into this new wave is now a reality for firms in all sectors, like the textile sector through the use of effective MRP systems and the use of complex CRP and MES strategies. Benefiting from environmental protection standards, for example, has been extraordinary. Organizations that have introduced innovative solutions like AI in both their ERP and MRP systems are in a good position to keep up their competitive edges, while satisfying main compliance requirements such as ISO certifications.

In Malaysia, this kind of technology is also widely adopted, as businesses strive to find cost-efficient and effective solutions. The trend is experienced worldwide, as firms are gradually adopting AI strategies for optimization of resources and increased productivity. The deep effects of AI and GenAI in the field of enterprise resources planning are becoming clearer as they are fast spreading divisively through industries, introducing a whole new epoch of tech integration .
