July 23, 2025 Rootstock’s Summer ’25 Release Debuts ERP Agent

Additional enhancements empower customers with a modern grid, new financial capabilities, and contextual ERP automation.

San Ramon, CA – Rootstock Software, a recognized leader in cloud ERP for product-based companies, today launched its Summer ’25 Release. This update introduces a new AI-powered ERP Agent, powerful financial enhancements, and the debut of Rootstock’s highly configurable grid designed for fast, flexible data interaction. Along with other key operational features, this release gives users greater control, automation, and intelligence across the enterprise.

“We’re leading a new phase in ERP,” said Rick Berger, CEO of Rootstock Software. “Manufacturers and distributors are done with workarounds and complexity—they want intelligence built in. With our AI-powered ERP Agent, expanded financial capabilities, and the launch of our improved grid, we’re providing manufacturers with the capabilities to anticipate market shifts, accelerate decisions, and adapt with agility.”

“CIOs and operational leaders want to modernize their enterprise, unify data on a common platform, and automate their day-to-day operations—that’s exactly what we’ve enabled,” said Robert Rostamizadeh, CTO at Rootstock. “With this release, we’re delivering an ERP that saves time, supports data visibility, and boosts productivity across finance, inventory, and manufacturing operations.”

The Summer ’25 Release includes enhancements across four key areas:

1. AI-Powered ERP Agent: Context-Aware ERP Automation. Rootstock introduces a new Manufacturing ERP Agent, now in pilot. This conversational, context-aware agent helps users streamline core ERP functions—without leaving the Rootstock ERP home screen or navigating to different areas for various information. For example, with users providing spoken or typed-in prompts, the agent can:

• Summarize recent sales orders and identify customer-buying patterns.
• View and adjust inventory levels, including cycle count corrections and reallocations.
• Reflect scrap adjustments, create a supply order, and trigger replenishment.
• Search for work orders—or generate new ones based on real-time needs.

This new ERP Agent showcases how Rootstock is streamlining everyday processes—reducing clicks, improving accuracy, and enabling faster, more informed action directly within user workflow.

2. Financial Enhancements: Greater Flexibility, Automation, and Control. Rootstock continues to strengthen its ERP financial module with enhancements that streamline reconciliation, reduce manual effort, and support various accounting structures. Key enhancements include:

• 13th Period Support: Enables configuration of a 13-period fiscal calendar—commonly used by retail, distribution, and manufacturers to align reporting with weekly business cycles. This structure supports more consistent operational comparisons and internal financial planning, especially in environments with high transaction volume.
• Customer Refunds: New flows allow for Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable (AR/AP) offsets and vendor-to-customer refund processing. This feature addresses a customer-driven request through Rootstock’s Idea Factory.
• POAP Match Attachments: Attach invoices and other documents within the POAP Match screen; files carry through to Payable Transactions for audit-readiness.
• General Ledger (GL) UX Improvements: A redesigned view now features contextual tabs, smart field groupings, and links to related records—making it easier to analyze and reconcile transactions.

3. Rootstock Grid: A Modern Data Experience. The new Grid makes its debut, bringing high-performance data interaction to the heart of ERP workflows. Built for speed, flexibility, and personalization, this configurable grid architecture allows users to perform inline editing, navigate records quickly using keyboard shortcuts, and much more.

4. Operational Enhancements: Smarter Planning, Work Orders, and Routing. Rootstock continues to strengthen core manufacturing and supply chain processes with updates that improve inventory replenishment, work order processing, routing logic, and documentation.

The Summer ’25 Release is now available to all Rootstock customers. Grid enhancements, ERP Agents, and financial updates will continue to expand in future releases.
