Aptean’s GenAI Query Makes Business Intelligence As Easy As Asking a Question
In a move that further shrinks the gap between data and decisive action, Aptean has unveiled GenAI Query, a mobile-first conversational AI feature built into its AI platform, AppCentral. Designed for manufacturing, distribution, and finance teams, GenAI Query enables users to simply ask their data for answers—no dashboards, no SQL queries, no delays.
Think ChatGPT, but for your ERP system—and tailored for the factory floor, the finance desk, and everywhere in between.
Want to know “Where are my fulfillment bottlenecks?” or “Which SKUs are eroding margin?” Ask away. GenAI Query responds with actionable insights, instantly drawn from live ERP inputs across inventory, purchasing, sales, receivables, and more.
It’s a powerful step toward democratizing enterprise intelligence, particularly for teams who can’t afford to wait for end-of-day reports or IT-generated dashboards.
Killing the Dashboard—One Natural Language Query at a Time
While most enterprise software players are still dressing up dashboards and calling it AI, Aptean is betting on a different model: skip the visual clutter and go straight to conversation.
The new tool is built into AppCentral, Aptean’s AI-powered platform, and serves as the real-time intelligence engine of the Aptean Intelligence Suite. Its goal? Eliminate the friction that exists between critical business questions and meaningful answers—particularly in fast-paced sectors like manufacturing, food and beverage, logistics, and apparel.
“GenAI Query is the difference between staring at a dashboard and having a direct, insightful conversation with your business,” said TVN Reddy, CEO of Aptean. “Customers don’t just want data—they need answers that drive outcomes.”
From ERP Complexity to Clarity in Seconds
ERP systems are notoriously complex. Valuable data is scattered across modules, locked behind access permissions, and requires specialized knowledge to interpret. That makes real-time decisions hard—especially for frontline managers who are focused on production lines, delivery timelines, or cash flow risks.
GenAI Query changes the dynamic:
- Natural Language Interface: Ask plain-English questions and get context-rich answers without writing a single formula or report.
- Real-Time Data: Pulls live inputs across ERP systems, from procurement to payables.
- Mobile-First Design: Built for decision-making on the move—no desk required.
- Enterprise-Grade Security: Features like role-based access, audit trails, and compliance-grade controls ensure control isn’t sacrificed for convenience.
Solving the “GenAI Paradox” in the Enterprise
According to recent reports from Accenture and McKinsey, most companies are still struggling to make their generative AI investments pay off at scale. It’s a familiar story: big AI ambitions running into small-data realities.
That’s where GenAI Query may have a strategic edge. Unlike generic AI chat tools bolted onto enterprise apps, Aptean’s approach is deeply industry-specific, grounded in years of ERP domain expertise. It doesn’t just understand your business—it understands your business logic.
“Every employee becomes an insight-driven decision-maker,” said Reddy. “The future of enterprise intelligence is immediate and conversational.”
Real Impact, Right Now
The benefits go beyond speed:
- Hidden Risks Uncovered: GenAI Query can surface anomalies like margin pressure or potential churn signals in real time.
- Actionable Clarity: No more sifting through stale reports or overloaded dashboards. Teams get straight to what matters.
- Unified Data Intelligence: By connecting data across silos, GenAI Query provides a single source of truth without centralizing every system.
For enterprise users already struggling with fragmented workflows, that’s not just convenience—it’s competitive advantage.
