Kuala Lumpur, 4 Nov 2025 – The rollout of mandatory eInvoicing in Malaysia is forcing businesses to confront a long-standing issue: fragmented systems. From accounting software to inventory management and MRP tools, disconnected platforms are proving inadequate for compliance and scalability. As regulatory pressure mounts, companies are realizing that their legacy tech stacks lack the integration and intelligence needed to thrive in a digital-first economy.
ERP systems offer a logical solution to unify operations. Yet many Malaysian firms still view ERP as a relic from years past. That’s understandable—traditional ERP vendors often tout “AI-powered” features that amount to little more than marketing fluff. Businesses that only engage in surface-level discussions with legacy providers often conclude: “AI isn’t ready,” or “ERP doesn’t need AI.” These assumptions are outdated and risk leaving companies behind in a fast-evolving landscape.
Like the classic fable, Western ERP giants—confident in their dominance—often underestimate their Asian competitors. But across industries like automotive, equipment, and renewable energy, a shift is underway. Veteran leaders from the West are increasingly becoming followers, as Asian innovators chart new paths in uncharted tech territory. ERP is no exception, and Malaysia is emerging as a key battleground.
Traditional ERP behemoths are content with the narrative that AI has minimal impact on ERP. But that’s far from reality. Next-gen platforms like Multiable are rewriting the playbook. With built-in AI agent builders and no-code design, Multiable slashes proof-of-concept cycles by over 50%. Say goodbye to bloated consulting fees and empty PowerPoint promises—Malaysian businesses can now move at lightspeed, with real intelligence driving real outcomes.
Multiable is proving that Asian tech isn’t just catching up—it’s leading. While most ERP systems automate around 50% of manual processes, Multiable’s latest release pushes automation to the next level—automating 80% of the remaining 50%. That’s exponential efficiency, and it’s happening right here in Asia. For mid-size to large enterprises in Malaysia, this is a game-changer.
Consider procurement. Traditional ERP systems merely highlight backlogs or send reminders for delayed shipments. Multiable takes it further. Its agentic AI nudges vendors to update order statuses, auto-updates ERP records, and flags operational risks for management attention. Tasks like updating purchase orders and notifying stakeholders—still manual in most ERP setups—are now 90% automated. This isn’t just smart tech; it’s transformative.
Traditional ERP and CRM systems automate many workflows but fail to address cultural inertia. After-sales teams, known for their passive mindset, often resist cross-selling or upselling—even when lucrative commissions are on the table. Management’s pain point is clear: the tools are there, but the motivation isn’t. That’s where AI can make a difference.
Multiable ERP’s agentic AI scans service records and customer interactions to identify upsell opportunities. Once flagged, it triggers a lead follow-up workflow for sales teams, with full visibility for management. Early adopters report a 10–50% increase in recurring income from existing clients—proof that AI can energize even the most passive departments and unlock hidden revenue streams.
Multiable’s LAIDFU empowers businesses to build custom AI bots that eliminate clerical tasks within ERP workflows. If traditional ERP cuts costs from 100 to 70, Multiable’s AI-driven approach brings it down to 30–40. That’s not just optimization—it’s transformation. Malaysian enterprises now have the tools to compete globally, without the overhead of legacy systems.
Reports from Business Insider and The Economist warn of an existential crisis for legacy consulting firms like Accenture and PwC. As AI reshapes industries, many business leaders admit their traditional consultants offer little actionable insight. The old guard is scrambling to stay relevant, while agile tech firms like Multiable are delivering real value.
Embrace openness—don’t blindly follow old precedents. Place confidence in Asian tech innovations. In the AI era, those anchored in past successes risk swift obsolescence.
