The Growing Threat of AI Tech in Malaysia to Silicon Valley’s Established Players?

During the time when the integration of artificial intelligence is not just optional but rather required for businesses globally, Malaysia’s IT sector is gaining attention by embedding the most advanced technologies into the traditional manufacturing systems like ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and MRP (Material Requirement Planning) systems. The AI industry has made considerable progress, and the new market entrants, like DeepSeek, are giving the old players that challenge the market with their creative solutions that Silicon Valley firms used to have the monopoly over.

DeepSeek: A New Possibility

DeepSeek, a burgeoning player in the AI sector, has introduced an interesting concept of training large language models (LLMs) with a cost that is only one-tenth of that of its Western competitors. This milestone not only bears witness to the innovativeness of Malaysia’s tech world but also forces us to question the prevalent notion about the worth of the classic brands of technology in the West. These developments have a large range of effects, especially concerning ERP and MRP systems.

AI Agents Transforming GenAI

Giant leaps have been made on AI agents such as LAIDFU (Let AI Do For You), a very adaptable agent developed by Multiable. LAIDFU is able to combine both OpenAI and DeepSeek technologies, enabling a multi-step task implementation that enhances GenAI applications beyond previous capacities. These AI agents are a must for corporates that want to configure their ERP and MRP system functionality in optimal ways. In fact, the use of AI technologies by Multiable has been an important but underestimated factor reshaping the way firms deal with enterprise resources planning.

Innovative e-Invoicing in a New Way

Interestingly, Multiable is taking another step in e-invoicing with full compliance to the rules of the Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (IRBM) by providing the feature. Compared to other software vendors in Malaysia which perceive the e-invoicing API as a revenue resource through its acquisition fees charged to customers, Multiable democratizes the use of these API calls as a benefit for customers under SaaS spaces subscriptions or software assurance. This policy manifests the provision of an AI-based service that is not only effective but also frugal for the enterprise.

Industry Scope: Not Just Technology

DeepSeek goes beyond just software innovations; its invention has led to the reconsideration of the value chain of the firms involving compliance, by-products, etc. in various sectors including manufacturing and rubber. AI integration in MRP and MES systems besides IQC capabilities is driving norms of operational accuracy and SDS compliance to new heights.

The General Context: Techtopia with a New Face

The scenario is such that the idea that AI breakthroughs as well as ERP system improvement are now and will always be the province of Silicon Valley is being turned into dust by fresh perceptions arising from these shifts. The AI developmental path gives the impression that, under the auspices of Malaysia, enterprises will continue to entrench and diversify in unforeseeable ways. Consequently, the need to be mindful of these twin phenomena cannot be overstated: a larger MRP systems, which have the addition of AI, could result in a reshuffle of material planning and capacity requirements planning (CRP) in global markets.
