ERPBench: A State-Grounded Evaluation Paradigm for Computer-Use Agents in Enterprise Software

Authors: Kratika BhagtaniKusha SridharMaziyar Baran PouyanYuying ZhaoEugene Siow

Abstract

Computer-use agents that operate through screenshots and simulated actions are advancing rapidly, yet their evaluation remains anchored to general desktop and web tasks. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems run the finance, procurement, inventory, and customer operations of organizations worldwide, and pose distinct challenges for computer-use agents: dense interfaces, coordinated multi-step interactions, and errors that alter persistent business records rather than surfacing on screen. Existing enterprise benchmarks rely on proprietary platforms or on simulated approximations of such software. We introduce ERPBench, a benchmark that evaluates screenshot-only agents on a live and reproducible ERP system and scores each task against ground-truth values in its database. Beyond the benchmark, we present a production-grade harness that gates agent actions behind human approval for safe deployment, which ERPBench runs autonomously. Evaluating six closed and open-source agents, we demonstrate that strong general GUI performance does not transfer to enterprise reliability. Even when an agent reaches the right form and saves it, the stored record is often wrong: some agents save in up to 85% of runs but write the correct value in as few as 3%. We further characterize failure modes specific to enterprise workflows.

EnterpriseClawBench: Benchmarking Agents from Real Workplace Sessions

Enterprise agents increasingly operate inside workspaces: they read heterogeneous files, invoke tools, and deliver business artifacts. We introduce EnterpriseClawBench, an enterprise agent benchmark constructed from proprietary, real-world agent sessions. Starting from a large archive of workplace sessions, the EnterpriseClawBench produces 852 reproducible tasks, each paired with recovered fixtures, rewritten prompts, role classes, skill subclasses, hard rules, and semantic rubrics. Because the sessions contain internal enterprise content, we do not release the benchmark data; instead, our reusable contribution is the construction and evaluation protocol. On EnterpriseClawBench, the best configuration reaches only 0.663 (Codex with GPT-5.5). These results show that enterprise agent evaluation must report harness--model combinations, artifact delivery, visual quality, cost, runtime, and skill-transfer behavior, rather than collapsing performance into a single score.

How Benchmarks Mis-Score Computer-Use Agents

Computer-use agents (CUA) are being deployed to browse the web and operate desktop software, yet their benchmark scores are still commonly produced by brittle scripted oracles. A score is the output of a pipeline in which tasks can be stale, trajectories can omit decisive visual evidence, evaluators can reject valid alternatives, and aggregate reports can hide the cause of failure. We organize these problems into a reliability framework spanning task construction, trajectory observation, scoring, and reporting. We then audit 150 public failure-scored trajectories from five web, enterprise-workflow, and desktop-control benchmarks, find that 15.3% of FAIL verdicts are wrong: 10.7% are evaluator false negatives and 4.7% are broken tasks. For genuine failures, a three-tier diagnostic taxonomy shows that verification/feedback and planning failures dominate execution/grounding errors, while a single scalar success rate can not explain. We connect these findings to newer long-horizon CUA benchmarks and derive stage-specific design rules for CUA evaluation.

ERPBench: Evaluating LLM Agents for Enterprise Decision-Making Across Competitive Market Ecologies

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly proposed for enterprise workflows, yet existing evaluations rarely test whether business-decision conclusions transfer across competitive market ecologies. We introduce ERPBench, an execution-instrumented benchmark for enterprise decision agents in a six-round Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) simulation with coupled pricing, production, procurement, inventory, finance, and shared-market competition. ERPBench evaluates the same 100 fixed problems in two matched competitive market ecologies: Solo, where each evaluated LLM agent competes against fixed rule-based opponents, and Arena, where six evaluated LLM agents compete in a shared market. Across six model families, this yields 1,200 model-level trajectories spanning 7,200 decision rounds. Under the observed service configuration, the leading model differs between ecologies: DeepSeek leads in Solo (252.29M mean valuation; mean rank 1.67), whereas Gemini leads in Arena (263.95M; 1.76). The two ecologies identify the same task-level winner on only 21 of 100 problems, and Gemini's bottom-rank rate falls from 22 % to 0 % in Arena. ERPBench supports paired evaluation of whether enterprise-agent rankings transfer across competitive market ecologies, supplemented by aggregate execution-intervention analysis.
