In this episode of Supply Chain Now, hosts Scott W. Luton and Kevin L. Jackson sit down with Antonio Bustamante, CEO of bem, to explore how automation is reshaping the supply chain landscape in 2025. Together, they unpack the hidden costs of manual workflows, the pitfalls of outdated systems, and the massive opportunity in eliminating data friction.Antonio shares how bem helps teams move away from time-consuming email and PDF-based processes toward self-healing, AI-powered systems that learn from every operator input. He discusses why the freight world is especially burdened by unstructured data, and how automation can free up teams to focus on serving customers, not fixing typos.The conversation also covers the limitations of RPA and email triage, the challenge of achieving interoperability across legacy systems, and why meeting operators where they are (even if that means faxes and handwritten notes) is key to meaningful digital transformation. Plus, Antonio offers a peek at bem's upcoming Command Center, a tool that gives ops teams the power to correct, route, and improve workflows without relying on engineering.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(03:49) The importance of automation in supply chain(06:57) Challenges of manual data entry(13:47) Unstructured data in supply chain(21:06) The role of communication in logistics(22:34) Understanding multimodal communication(23:45) Challenges with RPA and email triage(24:44) Embracing real-world data(27:09) The role of handwritten notes(27:49) BIM's impact on manual processing(30:39) Introducing the command center(40:08) Composable infrastructureAdditional Links & Resources:Learn more about bem: https://blog.bem.ai/ Connect with Antonio Bustamante: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abmirayo/ Loop automates data transformation at scale for new clients with bem: https://www.bem.ai/customer-stories/loop-automates-data-transformation-at-scale-for-new-clients-with-bemThe Supply Chain Back Office Is Broken: https://lp.supplychainnow.com/bemFor more content with bem and Supply Chain Now, check out the bem Campaign Landing Page: https://supplychainnow.com/bem Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

In many organizations, security exception management is a manual process, often treated as a simple compliance checkbox. While necessary, this approach can lead to unmonitored configurations that drift from their approved state, creating inconsistencies in an organization's security posture over time. How can teams evolve this process to support modern development without compromising on security?In this episode, Ashish Rajan sits down with security expert Santosh Bompally, Cloud Security Engineering Team Lead at Humana to discuss a practical framework for automating exception management. Drawing on his journey from a young tech enthusiast to a security leader at Humana, Santosh explains how to transform this process from a manual task into a scalable, continuously monitored system that enables developer velocity.Learn how to build a robust program from the ground up, starting with establishing a security baseline and leveraging policy-as-code, certified components, and continuous monitoring to create a consistent and secure cloud environment.Guest Socials -⁠⁠ ⁠Santosh's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security BootCamp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Cybersecurity PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction(00:39) From Young Hacker to Cybersecurity Pro(02:14) The "Tick Box" Problem with Exception Management(03:17) Exposing Your Threat Landscape: The Risk of Not Automating(05:43) Where Do You Even Start?

Organizations often rely on sporadic guest surveys to gather feedback, resulting in limited data and missed opportunities to enhance both the guest experience and operational performance. The challenge is not just about collecting data but about building meaningful relationships with guests at scale. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about how automating surveys can go beyond data collection to drive engagement, service recovery, and even revenue generation. Beyond the Data: Validating Assumptions “You probably can walk through your venue and say, here are some friction points... but if you gain a large quantity of guests who are also saying the same thing, it helps to justify when you are bringing this into saying, hey, we need to invest in x, y, z.” Even when assumptions about the guest experience seem obvious, large-scale feedback provides the validation needed to secure buy-in for improvements. Automated surveys ensure that decisions are supported by both intuition and data. Strengthening Engagement and Recovery Opportunities “Guests who do fill out a survey are allowing you the opportunity to continue the discussion about what went well with their experience and what fell below their expectation.” Matt and Josh highlight that automated surveys keep the conversation going after a visit, giving guests an outlet to share both praise and complaints. This proactive approach helps capture issues before they escalate to public reviews, increasing satisfaction and creating service recovery opportunities. Optimizing the Feedback Loop for Real-Time Insights “If surveys are automated, then you've got a continuous stream of data... you're getting the real-time feedback from the guest.” Automating surveys provides a steady flow of data, enabling venues to monitor the impact of operational changes in real time. This agile feedback loop allows teams to fine-tune guest experience strategies without waiting for periodic surveys. Leveraging Surveys for Reviews and Revenue “Your survey collection should be a revenue-generating source because you are strengthening the relationship with your guests.” Josh and Matt discuss how surveys can be used to direct promoters toward online reviews, boosting search visibility, while also offering targeted upsells like memberships or bounce-back discounts—turning surveys into a marketing and revenue tool. Building Relationships at Scale “When you're building that positive relationship, it's now less of a chore for that guest to maybe give you feedback and it's more of part of a conversation that you're having.” The core message can be summarized with a single word: relationship. By reframing surveys as a relationship-building tool rather than just a data collection exercise, operators can create deeper connections with guests at scale, making the process feel more personal and less transactional.   What methods are you using to build guest relationships through surveys?

Why do we keep making money decisions that go against our best interests? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Hanna Horvath, Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and financial psychology expert, to unpack why our brains are literally wired to sabotage our financial goals—and what we can do to change that. Hanna shares powerful insights from her work as the creator of “Your Brain on Money,” explaining how cognitive biases like loss aversion and decision fatigue impact everything from investing to impulse spending. We also dive into why more money doesn't automatically equal more peace, how to align your financial habits with your core values, and practical strategies to work with your brain rather than against it. Plus, Hanna reveals the simple mindset shifts that can help you spend without guilt, stop financial perfectionism in its tracks, and finally break free from those unconscious money scripts that are keeping you stuck. You'll hear: Why our brains are wired to make terrible financial decisions The connection between money anxiety and identity How to set up financial guardrails that align with your values The role of decision fatigue in impulsive spending How to separate self-worth from net worth You'll walk away knowing: Our brains are hardwired to make poor money choices. Loss aversion can lead to irrational financial behaviors. Understanding the emotional aspects of money is crucial. Automating financial decisions can reduce decision fatigue. Creating guardrails helps in making better financial choices. The digital age has made spending frictionless and impulsive. Investing can feel less tangible and more emotional than spending. Self-compassion is key in financial decision-making. Recognizing the disconnect between financial reality and emotions is important. Labeling oneself as 'bad with money' can be counterproductive. Practice self-compassion in financial behavior. Financial habits are a journey, not a destination. Social media heightens financial anxiety.

This Podcast Is Episode 628, And It's About Efficient Payroll Implementation For Construction Business Owners mplementing an effective payroll system is crucial for construction business owners, as it directly impacts project management, employee satisfaction, and overall financial health. Given the complexities of the construction industry, including varying pay rates, overtime requirements, and the need for certified payroll reports, developing a streamlined payroll process is essential.    Here are some steps to consider:   1. Determine Payroll Needs: Assess the size of your workforce (hourly vs. salaried employees). Identify the types of workers (e.g., subcontractors, full-time employees) and ensure your payroll system can handle various pay rates and classifications.   2. Choose the Right Payroll Software: Look for software that caters to the construction industry's needs, including support for job costing, lien waivers, and compliance with prevailing wage laws. Ensure it has features for tracking time worked, overtime, and benefits. 3. Set Up Employee Information:  Gather necessary documentation for all employees, including W-4 forms, identification, and relevant licenses.  Enter employee data into the payroll system, including their pay rates, tax information, and benefits enrollment. 4. Establish a Time Tracking System: Implement a reliable method for tracking hours worked. This can be done via paper timesheets, digital time clocks, or mobile apps. Ensure the method complies with labor regulations regarding work hours and overtime.   5. Understand Payroll Tax Obligations:  Familiarize yourself with federal, state, and local payroll taxes, including Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment.  Set up an account with the IRS and pay estimated taxes regularly to avoid penalties.   6. Communicate with Your Team: Educate your employees about how the payroll system works, including how to report hours worked and any deductions they may see. Keep an open line of communication for any payroll-related questions or concerns.   7. Run Payroll: Determine a payroll schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) that best suits your business needs. Process payroll on time, ensuring accurate calculations for hours worked, overtime, and deductions.   8. Maintain Compliance: Stay updated with labor laws and regulations specific to the construction industry to avoid compliance issues. Keep records of payroll transactions and employee information for audit purposes.   9. Review and Adjust: Regularly review your payroll processes for efficiency and accuracy. Make adjustments as needed to enhance effectiveness and address any emerging issues. Consider soliciting employee feedback about the payroll process to identify any areas for improvement.   By following these steps, construction contractor business owners can implement a payroll system that meets their operational needs and effectively supports their workforce.    Now, what if you already have a system in place? Upgrading or changing your payroll system offers numerous significant benefits. Saving time and money, making everyone's lives easier, and improving integration are good reasons to consider a change.   But if the switch is mishandled, the results can be catastrophic and lead to long-lasting problems. So, please make sure that you allocate the project the time it requires. While some people may indeed enjoy coming to work, earning money is the main reason most people seek employment. Our jobs make the world go round, supporting us and our families so that we can afford everything else in life.   Not receiving payment correctly is a significant issue for your crew. As a construction business owner, you want to ensure your employees are paid sufficiently and on time. This protects your business and their happiness.   Changing payroll systems is a huge undertaking. Many moving parts and people will be affected. Ensure that this project receives the time and attention it deserves. Determine what will be necessary to make the transition, understand who it affects, and communicate with everyone involved. The planning process is critical. Treat it as the foundation to making the switch, and the rest will fall into place.   The primary motivation for implementing a new payroll system is to simplify processes. Yet, many construction businesses overlook how their new technology can help. It's easy to lean on old methods for getting things done because they're familiar, but that would be a mistake when switching to a new payroll system.   Ensure you are familiar with and understand the features of your new platform. The real-time, monetary, and energy savings will be realized here. Automate anything you can. When these tools prove their worth, your team will understand the rationale behind the switch.   That is why we're here.

Furthermore, integrating payroll with project management and job costing enables better tracking of labor expenses and profitability for each project.    Deciding to change your payroll system is a big undertaking. But with some planning and preparation, it can be a smooth and rewarding transition.   For construction business owners, investing in a robust payroll solution means gaining a competitive edge, improving operational efficiency, and creating a positive work environment that fosters employee loyalty and productivity.

Unlocking the Power of Automation for Insurance ProfessionalsIn a recent episode of the Insurance Business Babes podcast, host Kathe Kline sat down with automation expert OpeYemi Sanusi to explore how automating everyday business tasks can be a total game changer—especially for insurance professionals and agency owners who want to free up their time and focus on client relationships.Why Automate? The True Cost of Manual TasksKathe opened up about her own experience running an active Facebook group, explaining how time-consuming it was to manually process new member requests and collect data. Like many insurance agents, she realized she was spending valuable hours on low-impact work that could easily be handed off—if not to a virtual assistant, then even better, to a well-built automation! As Ope emphasized, whenever you notice a repetitive task “stresses you out or takes time from your day,” it's a good candidate for automation.Common Automation Opportunities in InsuranceThe conversation revealed just how many time-consuming processes can be streamlined. Here are some top contenders:Lead Management: From collecting and qualifying incoming leads based on client needs (e.g., prioritizing high-value Medicare supplement prospects), to logging details automatically in your CRM.Appointment Follow-Ups: Automating reminders and documents like scope of appointment forms, ensuring compliance requirements are met without manual checking.Client Communication: Sending out personalized birthday cards, renewal reminders, or even thank you gifts at the click of a button.Data Entry and Compliance: Creating easy workflows to file signed documents, cross-check directories for compliance, and flag potential issues, freeing you from administrative headaches.Custom Automation: Small Businesses Can Benefit TooOpe pointed out that automation isn't just for huge corporations. Solving small business problems—like auto-filling spreadsheets with storage facility contact details, or scraping podcast emails for outreach—are all fair game. Even better, once these processes are set up, they save both time and money for years to come.Getting Started with AutomationBoth Kathe and Ope agree: you don't need to be a tech wizard to benefit from automation, especially if you start with expert help. By automating the busywork, insurance agents are empowered to focus on what matters most—building relationships and growing their businesses.Ready to reclaim your time?
