Executive Summary

Manual ERP tasks slow finance, operations and IT teams at mid-to-large companies, forcing hours of manual data entry, reconciliations and brittle custom scripts that increase error rates and delay closes. These pain points are especially acute across roughly 100,000 mid-to-large companies running complex ERP landscapes, where internal teams lack the automation expertise to reliably convert SOPs into executable workflows. You could build an AI-driven workflow platform that uses LLMs to map natural-language SOPs into executable automation, layers event-stream process mining to surface and prioritize bottlenecks, and ships governed, prebuilt connectors to major cloud ERPs. Delivered as a low-code/no-code product with audit trails and compliance-first controls and templates for order-to-cash and procure-to-pay, it would shorten build time from months to weeks and lower dependency on expensive engineering resources. The market is timely and large — estimated TAM $45.0B (100,000 companies × ~$450K ACV), market score 92/100 and revenue potential 88/100 — driven by LLM-driven automation, process-mining convergence, and accelerating ERP cloud adoption. To stand out you must invest in deep, secure ERP integrations, explainable LLM outputs and a productized library of audited workflow templates that reduce implementation risk; these are the practical differentiators against a medium level of competition. Honest challenges include integration complexity, enterprise change management and the need to demonstrate clear ROI in pilots, but with measurable outcomes (for example, reducing manual touchpoints by 50–80% and cutting deployment time to weeks) this approach is worth pursuing as an initial pilot market.

Market Opportunity

Manual ERP tasks slow teams — automate processes with AI-driven workflows targets a $45.0B = 100,000 mid-to-large companies x $450K ACV (enterprise ERP+automation add-ons) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 18% estimated growth in enterprise automation and process intelligence.

Key trends driving demand: LLM-driven automation -- LLMs enable mapping SOPs and generating workflow code from natural language, lowering build time.; Process mining convergence -- Vendors combine event-stream mining with RPA to find and fix bottlenecks automatically, creating demand for integrated tooling.; ERP cloud adoption -- As more ERP instances move to cloud, API availability makes automation safer and faster to deploy.; Economic efficiency focus -- Companies prioritize headcount reduction and faster close cycles, increasing spend on automation that shows quick ROI..

Key competitors include UiPath, Celonis, Microsoft Power Automate, Zapier (adjacent/workaround).
