Artificial intelligence is no longer a future topic – it is already changing processes, business models, and entire industries. However, many companies are faced with the question: How can they enter the world of AI in a concrete and practical way, without major risks or feeling overwhelmed?

Why AI is relevant now – especially in industry solutions
Companies in regulated, specialized, or highly dynamic industries have complex requirements: documentation obligations, traceability, process reliability, multi-channel sales, variant management, service-oriented business models, and much more.
This is precisely where AI creates real added value:
- By automating routine tasks
- Making better decisions by using data patterns
- Higher data quality thanks to AI-supported testing
- Faster response time in customer contact
- Efficiency improvement along entire value chains
With an industry solution from KUMAVISION as a digital foundation, AI can be implemented where daily operations take place – directly in the ERP, CRM or service context.

Furthermore, Business Central already offers integrated AI solutions, e.g., with AI agents.
AI agents – what exactly are they?
An AI agent is an “actor” that independently pursues goals, makes decisions and performs actions by using artificial intelligence.
Examples from Business Central include:
- Payables Agent (Creditors): Monitors mailboxes for incoming invoices, reads PDFs with Azure Document Intelligence, recognizes suppliers, amounts, items, and creates draft invoices.
- Sales Order Agent: It processes unstructured order entries (e.g., emails, attachments) and generates sales order drafts from them, including item assignment via AI.
Other areas of application that are already possible today:
- Contact and master data autofill: Copilot can suggest and supplement contact or company data (e.g., addresses, telephone, website) to reduce manual data entry.
