AI, Analytics & Intelligent Project ERP
AIS Construction ERP leverages SAP's embedded analytics and intelligence to enable data-driven project management. SAP Joule (GenAI Copilot) allows users to ask natural-language questions related to project cost, progress, material consumption, and profitability.
