In this episode of Wesley’s ERP podcast, HSO’s Nathan Bregmen sits down with Wesley Nelson (ANZ Service Line Director) to reveal why successful AI/ERP transformations start with people, process and data – not technology.

They discuss quick wins like month‑end close automation and supplier‑communication agents, explore how AI scheduling can free up manufacturing teams, and share proven KPIs and ROI benchmarks. Wesley explains why transformation is about enhancing culture instead of replacing it, and how to design your ERP for the next 5–10 years.

What you’ll learn:

• Data & process first: Learn why AI projects fail when data is dirty and processes aren’t mature

• Wesley’s journey from end‑user to consultant shows how cleaning data and mapping processes unlock AI benefits.

• Quick wins: Hear real examples of automating month‑end close, implementing supplier‑communication agents and using AI co‑pilots to speed up approvals

• AI for operations: Discover how autonomous scheduling agents could transform manufacturing and professional services – and why they need good data to work.

• Measuring ROI: Use industry KPIs (DSO, inventory aging, month‑end cycle time) to track success and justify investment

• Future‑proofing: Understand how to build ERP systems for the next decade, without losing your company’s unique culture.
