ERP and Field-Service Software Data for AI Training: What Can Be Licensed
By Andrew Smart, founder of MON$TER · About
If your company builds vertical or enterprise software (an ERP, a field-service platform, scheduling, dispatch, inventory or practice-management tool), you likely hold one of the most useful kinds of data for AI: real records of how businesses actually get work done.
What AI buyers look for
- Workflow patterns: how jobs, orders and tickets move from step to step, and where they stall
- Timing: how long tasks take, scheduling changes, seasonal swings
- Structured records: anonymized work orders, line items, status changes and resolution notes
- Edge cases: exceptions, rework and cancellations that are hard to find on the public web
Buyers want patterns across many businesses, not any one customer's books or contact list.
What stays out
- Personal information about your customers' staff or end customers. See what counts as PII.
- Anything your customer contracts or terms do not allow you to use. Read them first; some data may need to stay out entirely.
- Your customers' confidential pricing or identifiable business details.
This is general information, not legal advice. Have your attorney review your agreements before licensing anything.
How it fits with SaaS data
Vertical software is a focused version of SaaS data. The general picture is in can a SaaS company sell its data to AI?, and buyers will usually ask for a data dictionary and a data sample early.
