How does ERPNext work for Market Research automation?
ERPNext works for Market Research automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to ERPNext alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Market Research, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Synthesize the last 90 days of competitor blog posts
AI gathers market data from hundreds of sources and synthesizes it into actionable reports.
- 03
Pricing changes into a one-page brief for our Monday standup
Teams typically see days → Hours from scoping to report once the agent is in production.
- 04
You approve
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
