Supply chain management faces increasing challenges, including inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and lack of real-time visibility. Innovations in supply chain technology, powered by intelligent automation and integrated with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, offer solutions to bridge these existing gaps. This paper examines how emerging technologies—such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and Internet of Things (IoT)—when integrated with ERP systems, can revolutionize supply chain operations. Intelligent automation enables seamless coordination between suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors by automating complex processes such as demand forecasting, inventory management, and logistics optimization. Blockchain ensures secure and transparent data sharing across the supply chain, mitigating risks of fraud and enhancing traceability. IoT devices provide real-time monitoring of assets and shipments, while AI-powered predictive analytics improve decision-making, reduce delays, and optimize resource allocation. By integrating these technologies with ERP platforms, companies can achieve greater operational efficiency, cost savings, and agility. The paper also explores how this integration enhances interoperability, reduces system silos, and fosters Collaboration across supply chain networks. In an increasingly digital and interconnected world, the convergence of ERP systems with intelligent automation and emerging technologies is critical to building resilient, adaptive, and future-ready supply chains.
