Project Launch voxERP: Voice Control for the ERP Systems of the Future
The research project voxERP, funded by the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency), has officially started. Its goal is to develop an AI component that supports users in ERP systems through voice-based interaction.
ERP systems are complex and often cumbersome – especially on mobile devices. Many users face difficulties when they are on the go and don’t have a free hand. To address this, voxERP aims to simplify system handling with a voice-controlled solution. Even when input via smartphone is inconvenient, commands should remain quick and accessible.
The Goal
The voxERP consortium, consisting of RISC Software GmbH and Zentro GmbH, is working on enabling ERP systems to be operated via natural language input. Routine tasks such as creating, updating, or deleting records will be carried out more efficiently. The system automatically opens the relevant forms in the ERP interface and pre-fills fields. As a result, users save valuable time and enjoy greater convenience.
The Vision
In the long term, voice control is to be integrated into users’ daily workflows. voxERP could thus evolve into a true “headless ERP” – a system that performs frequent interactions and commands without requiring traditional screen-based input. Especially in situations where users don’t have a free hand, voxERP offers significant added value.
The project’s kick-off meeting took place on November 6, 2024, marking the start of an initiative that aims to revolutionize the use of ERP systems.
