Over the past 30 years, the number of publicly traded companies in the U.S. has been sliced in half, falling from a peak of ~8,000 in the late '90s to just ~4,000 today.That stat shocked me. I knew IPOs were a slow drip, but I didn't realize that the number of companies being taken private was far out pacing the number joining the NYSE and NASDAQ ranks.Today we discuss:* Three structural changes in the capital markets that brought us to this point* The rise of private credit* How companies staying private changes your job as an operator or CFOThis week's podcast is brought to you by Campfire (www.campfire.ai)We've all used legacy ERPs.

It's the AI-first ERP built for modern finance and accounting teams. It's helping mid-market and enterprise teams close faster, unlock insights instantly, and scale smarter - without the additional headcount.I use Campfire myself, and it's been a game changer for our finance workflow. The interface is intuitive, migration was quick & painless, and it's freed us up to focus on strategic work.They just raised $35 million from Accel to further reimagine ERP.

Send us a textERP implementation has come a long way from the days of consultant armies and 15-to-1 service ratios—today, it's more about smart AI-human collaboration than brute-force deployment. As Jon Reed points out in his cloud ERP article, the real transformation isn't in the flashy go-live moment, but in the gradual, AI-assisted journey to measurable value—timelines that tend to shift depending on which vendor's pitch you're hearing. In this episode, Sam Gupta joins Jon in a live LinkedIn session to unpack that journey, exploring how modern, AI-ready ERPs subtly steer vendors, customers, and system integrators toward success—minus the traditional chaos, and without relying on ChatGPT to tell the story.In this episode, Sam Gupta engages in a LinkedIn live session with Jon Reed, Diginomica in a live LinkedIn session as they take another look at the article and rewrite the script from the AI lenses (without using ChatGPT).Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

Send us a textERP systems designed for product-centric industries stand out by offering deep, purpose-built capabilities in critical areas such as bill of materials management, shop floor control, warehouse operations, and vendor collaboration.

This specialization makes them indispensable for manufacturers, distributors, and businesses dealing in physical goods, where operational precision and integration are key. The systems featured in this list were chosen specifically for their strength in supporting these intricate, product-focused environments, ensuring they deliver the functionality and scalability required to thrive in demanding industrial contexts.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 ERP systems for product-centric industries in 2025. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these ERP systems for product-centric industries. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each ERP system for product-centric industries.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

Send us a textGiven the complexities of the automotive industry, selecting the right ERP system is not just about functionality but also about long-term strategic fit. Companies must assess how well an ERP solution aligns with their operational structure, compliance needs, and growth plans. While larger enterprises may benefit from robust suite-centric solutions that offer end-to-end integration, smaller firms might prefer modular, platform-based ERPs that allow gradual scaling. Additionally, factors like vendor support, ecosystem strength, and technological innovation should not be overlooked, as they can significantly impact system usability and adaptability. Ultimately, the right ERP choice is one that not only meets current industry demands but also evolves with future advancements in automotive manufacturing, supply chain management, and regulatory compliance.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 automotive ERP systems in 2025.

Is your finance team stuck in spreadsheets, waiting for an ERP upgrade to improve reporting and forecasting? You might be putting the cart before the horse. In this episode of the CPM Customer Success Podcast, host Andy Smetana of Nova Advisory dives into the critical question: Should you implement CPM (Corporate Performance Management) or ERP first? Many companies assume ERP is the backbone of their business, but finance leaders know that transactions alone don't drive insights. Andy shares why leading with CPM, powered by OneStream, is the smarter, faster, and more strategic choice for finance teams looking to eliminate manual processes, accelerate decision-making, and gain a single source of truth. Hear real-world success stories—like how Mexico's largest logistics company streamlined 15 ERPs with OneStream—and discover how an EPM-first approach can transform finance without waiting for a multi-year ERP overhaul.

Backed by Visa, Coinbase, and Circle, they're blending wallet control with agent intelligence in stablecoins. Can we hold AI accountable without a chatbot fiasco (looking at you, Air Canada)? AI can go rogue, but so can humans—card controls and approvals manage it. So, how much autonomy are we willing to give AI agents? Next, staying on theme, Shiboleth is taking a fresh spin on BaaS with continuous, AI-driven verification. Gone are the days of “trust but verify”—now it's all about constant verification. Shiboleth scans everything from customer complaints to service calls, helping banks detect red flags in real-time. With fraud losses at an all-time high, can Shiboleth's solution scale? And can AI really spot subtle compliance risks without getting bogged down? Now, let's talk about Stablecore (i.e. stablecoins, but with a twist). This hybrid platform helps financial institutions use stablecoins alongside legacy systems.The short-term play is integrating with orchestration partners like Zero Hash. But as for long-term vision, are we ready for a world where deposits flow through stablecoins? Next, Estrada unbundles corporate cards, letting any Visa or MasterCard plug into spend management, ERPs, and even consumers' wallets—without needing to issue their own cards. It's “Bring Your Own Card” as a service; Estrada lets businesses tap into corporate card data without reinventing the wheel. Finally, we explore fintech "franchising" to help distribute products through banks and credit unions. Innovation's ahead of customer acquisition, but what if we could rethink distribution? 00:02:15 - Payman 00:17:13 - Shiboleth 00:30:22 - Stablecore 00:43:51 - Astrada 00:52:20 - Manifesting Fintech Ideas  Sign up for Alex's Fintech Takes newsletter for the latest insightful analysis on fintech trends, along with a heaping pile of pop culture references and copious footnotes.

Send us a textSelecting the right ERP system for mid-sized businesses in 2025 requires a nuanced understanding of the segment, as companies generating between $100 million and $1 billion in revenue have vastly different needs depending on their scale. The lower mid-market, ranging from $100 million to $250 million, may prioritize ease of implementation and cost-effectiveness, while the upper mid-market often demands more advanced functionality and scalability. While industry-specific ERP recommendations are ideal, broader rankings—like this one—can serve as a helpful starting point for businesses without access to tailored guidance. Given that most companies in this range operate in fewer than 10 countries, their ERP choices typically balance global capabilities with practical implementation constraints. These systems offer greater maturity than small business ERPs, emphasizing advanced forecasting, supply chain optimization, and workflow automation. However, deep customization and extensive third-party integrations are usually reserved for enterprise-level deployments. By evaluating market share, vendor strategies, product roadmaps, and ecosystem engagement, this list highlights the top ERP solutions that align with the unique needs of mid-sized businesses in 2025.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 Mid-Sized Business ERP in 2025. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these Mid-Sized Business ERP Systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each Mid-Sized Business ERP.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

Today, David is joined by Michael Greenberg, the CEO of 3rd Brain Automation, which digitizes and automates operations. He takes business problems and figures out which technology will solve the issue. Michael explains exactly how he and his team help business owners achieve unparalleled clarity, consistency, and confidence by leveraging automation, AI, global talent, and human-centred workflow design. David helps owners and leaders build their businesses without having to do it all themselves so that they have a business that is ready to sell when they are ready. To build your business, so it is ready to sell, without the frustration and overwhelm, Download David's Free Guide '3 reasons you will never sell your business and how to fix it FAST! https://businessbreakthrough.live/3reasons/3-reasons KEY TAKEAWAYS For virtually every business problem there is a tech solution that can solve it or make things a lot easier. AI has the power to solve multiple problems. The fact that systems can be hard to integrate e.g. the most popular ERPs do not talk with the most popular CRMs can be overcome. You need to nail your processes before you can introduce the right tech. Use AI to help you record your current processes and create flow charts, Michael tells you how. Not everything can be automated. Train your AI to immediately route these things to a human. Human solution providers should be using tech tools to solve problems faster. Your AI chatbot must be backed up 24/7 by humans your customers can easily reach. If a customer is talking to AI, tell them. If you don´t, they will never trust you again. Much of the most important knowledge resides in the heads of employees. Use technology to capture that knowledge and make it more widely available. Companies that prioritise digital operations end up with technologies that work smoothly together. The ROI on digital automation is very fast, less than a year and is usually between 75% and 150% initially and up to around 300% a few years later. Technology frees people up to do other more important tasks e.g. develop new products. It does not have to result in job losses. BEST MOMENTS “Too many tech guys try to jam in a solution that does not quite fit.” “Make sure people are aware they are speaking with an AI .” “The outcome is consistency, clarity, capacity, confidence, and, ultimately, cash flow.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.3rdbrain.co Playbook - https://digital-ops.beehiiv.com/subscribe https://gentof.tech Socials @gentoftech ABOUT THE HOST David Roberts is a highly regarded CEO, mentor, and investor with 30 years of experience across multiple sectors.

On the contrary, in other sectors, particularly those without extensive inventories, IT teams could essentially constitute the entire operations team.Just as IT industries have faced neglect, other crucial teams like security or legal ops have also been overlooked.

It's been a hot minute since we covered eCommerce on the show, but since COVID, it's become a growing part of manufacturing and distribution. COVID lockdowns essentially shut off the traditional methods for buying and selling manufactured supplies, and companies were forced to adopt a new way of doing things or get left behind. It's meant great things for the industry, so we thought we'd get the eCommerce perspective in this episode from Znode's Chief Commercial Officer, Tom Flierl.Tom joins the podcast to explore the link between eCommerce and manufacturing, how Znode presents a seamless solution, and the reasons why there's been a spike in eCommerce system adoption. We look at how distribution and manufacturing have adapted, and Tom shares some examples of companies that have embraced new solutions and seen the benefits of integrating everything into a one-stop shop solution. Tom also chats about AI as the next big thing for manufacturers to lean into, why salespeople are still vital for the industry, and some tips on how to assess the effectiveness of an eCommerce solution.

And I think it forced a lot of shifts in even how businesses go to market and the importance of digital.”“The big win that we're seeing is a lot of ERPs are moving to offer APIs now. Our platform and some others can take those APIs, talk to each other, and present the right data to the right customer when they log in and give them the right experience by exchanging data with lots of other systems.”"It's all about adoption. If adoption isn't there, whether it's the end customer or the distributor or channel, it's probably not working. I would argue that that applies for distributors and manufacturers.”Links & mentions:Znode, an all-in-one, headless, B2B eCommerce platform developed to enable growth through a rich set of built-in featuresRequest a Demo of Znode's B2B eCommerce platformFoxtown Brewing, large brewery located inside of a classic building in Mequon, WIMake sure to visit http://manufacturinghappyhour.com for detailed show notes and a full list of resources mentioned in
