A modern platform
to support the organization
We’re continuously investing in our platform, which leverages Microsoft Azure platform capabilities, to provide Unit4 customers with the latest technology to enable success. We’ve built a scalable and flexible architecture that enables us to leverage AI capabilities through a focus on data and an API-first approach.
The efficacy of AI hinges on the quality, accessibility, and integration of data. Unit4’s Data Hub serves as a central foundation for managing and leveraging data, ensuring that AI-driven insights are both accurate and actionable.
Designed to meet the challenges of today’s complex data ecosystems, the Data Hub seamlessly integrates with Unit4 ERPx, providing a single source of truth for critical people and financial data.
Machine Learning and advanced AI technologies, such as Large Language Models (LLM), are key to enhancing our ERP solutions. Our integration of LLMs like GPT5 enables more natural and intuitive user interactions, aiding in effective information retrieval.
These technologies undergo rigorous testing and development, ensuring seamless integration with existing ERP functionalities and furthering our commitment to innovation. For example, with Unit4’s Extension Kit, you can seamlessly connect your current external applications with your Unit4 ERP system.
Furthermore, App Studio, our no-code tool designed for customers to construct their own interfaces and applications (part of Unit4’s Extension Kit), harnesses the AI capabilities integrated within the Unit4 platform.
Ava Integration: Unit4’s Advanced Virtual Agent enables task completion through Microsoft Teams chat, bringing work to users rather than requiring them to enter the ERP system.
Form Analyzer: Examines content of forms to identify unusual information that requires review.
Smart Value List: Suggests values based on users’ past selections, prioritizing relevant suggestions.
Smart Classification: Automates the categorization of objects by recognizing and grouping.
Fraud Detection: Analyzing transaction data for patterns and anomalies.
When it comes to the financials, accurate and timely processing is key for any organization. Our aim is to drive enhanced user experiences without compromising on accuracy. For example, we employ Machine Learning for anomaly detection in invoice processing, streamlining financial operations, and reducing errors. We are working on automating key financial tasks such as bank statement processing, direct debits, and tax determination, utilizing AI to recognize patterns and aid your people in delivering accuracy at speed.
To ensure your projects are hitting key target metrics such as budgets, timelines and quality we’re utilizing advanced AI capabilities to streamline data input and processing. This ensures the efficient matching of individuals possessing the requisite skills to your project assignments, thereby conserving valuable time and energy for your project and resource managers. We’re combining core data from across your organization to help you utilize your resources in the best ways, ensuring successful completion of your projects.
By leveraging AI, we have now been able to substantially enhance efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness within the invoice processing domain.
AI-powered automation optimizes recurring tasks and approvals, minimizing manual efforts and maximizing accuracy. Intelligent data extraction capabilities facilitate quicker processing and analysis of invoice data. Additionally, AI can detect anomalies or discrepancies in invoices, reducing the risk of financial loss or fraudulent activity. Such proactive measures contribute to a more robust and error-resistant procurement system.
Our integration of AI technologies not only expedites the invoice processing cycle but also creates a transformative shift towards a more agile, data-driven, and strategically aligned procurement ecosystem.

Your people are your biggest asset. We’ve been focusing on developing the user experience for employees, people managers, payroll administrators and HR leaders to improve the way you work through enhanced user interfaces and automation. Moving forwards, we are evaluating the use of AI to support key areas such as skills management, where a central repository is maintained with new employee skills gained and rated both internally and externally. We can then see huge benefits in being able to perform accurate skills gap analysis to drive your staffing strategies and proactive recommendations for the right people to match your project requirements. Helping you to utilize, motivate and retain your top talent, as the needs of your organization change over time.
