erlang-compile-function is a variable that's bound to
inferior-erlang-compile by default. You could write your own function
to replace it and bind that to erlang-compile-function instead.

Here is some UNTESTED code:

(defun my-inferior-erlang-compile ()
  "Save the current buffer, then call inferior-erlang-compile."
  (interactive)
  (save-current-buffer
    (inferior-erlang-compile)))

(defvar erlang-compile-function 'my-inferior-erlang-compile)
