  Harnessing AI to combat AI-driven candidate fraud

  Sep 7, 202637 min

  Candidate fraud has become a major problem in recruitment as job applicants use AI to blast employers with misleading or false information about their experience, education and skills. It also presents security risks by making organizations vulnerable to people with nefarious motives like intellectual property theft and network sabotage. Recruiters struggle to stay ahead of the problem. The solution could be to fight fire with fire and use AI itself to combat this AI-driven phenomenon. In this episode, we explore what candidate fraud is, why it's becoming more widespread, and how recruiters are responding by changing how they conduct job interviews -- all with the tireless assistance of AI. Featuring: Dimitri Boylan , Founder and CEO, Avature In today's episode, we'll also cover: How AI detects fraudulent candidates. Avature's AI-enabled talent management and recruiting platform. Using AI to automate mundane tasks and make more time for face-to-face interviews.

  Beyond visibility: Decision intelligence in the supply chain

  Aug 24, 202636 min

  For years, visibility was the Holy Grail of supply chain technology. But increasingly, supply chain managers have more visibility than they can handle thanks to the real-time data flooding their dashboards and email systems. What they need now is some way to make sense of the data and act on it. Decision intelligence could be the answer. It involves using artificial intelligence that can identify the supply chain events and conditions that have the greatest impact, present human operators with relevant information, make recommendations and, in some cases, execute actions on their behalf. In this episode, we explore what decision intelligence is, the role of agentic AI, and where decision intelligence technology fits in the ERP and logistics software ecosystem. Featuring: Jett McCandless , Founder and CEO, project44 In today's episode, we'll also cover: Features of project44's decision intelligence platform. Who uses the platform. How the AI knows which data to prioritize. Remaining challenges of supply chain visibility. References: What is supply chain visibility and why is it important? 11 benefits, use cases for AI in logistics Project44 on the future of supply chain decision intelligence To learn more about enterprise applications, check out Search ERP .

  How one manufacturer blazed a smooth path to ERP cloud migration

  Jul 13, 202634 min

  Moving an on-premises ERP system to the cloud can be extremely challenging. That's especially true when the target is multi-tenant software-as-a-service ERP, which typically requires organizations to adopt generic business processes and give up customizations they built on the old ERP. SaaS ERP has undeniable advantages in accessibility, ease of use, low maintenance and advanced technologies like AI. That makes it a worthy goal, but the journey usually involves numerous obstacles, and many companies adopt halfway measures instead of making a full commitment to running everything in the cloud. In this episode, we explore one manufacturer's experience with moving from the on-premises version of Epicor Kinetic ERP software to the multi-tenant SaaS version and reveal the strategies it used for a successful migration. Featuring: David Paquet , Director of Technological Innovation and Procurement, Tilton Group In today's episode, we'll also cover: How temporarily using the "classic" user interface eased employees' transition to the new, web-based UI. Why the company didn't move its manufacturing execution system (MES) to the cloud. How application programming interfaces (APIs) enable the SaaS ERP and on-premises MES to communicate. Why Tilton Group adopted Epicor's AI-driven inventory planning and optimization tool.

  Innovative reverse logistics app saves money while doing good

  Jun 29, 202632 min

  The huge popularity of e-commerce added new complications to the already complicated process of reverse logistics, whereby products are sent back up the supply chain and returned to retailers, distributors and manufacturers. Besides adding shipping costs and environmental impacts, e-commerce returns are more susceptible to fraud and abuse. As a result, companies are looking for ways to reduce their costs by minimizing returns and redirecting returned goods in more profitable directions. In this episode, we explore an innovative platform that enables returned goods to be donated to nonprofit organizations that have identified specific needs. Donors spend less on shipping, get a tax deduction or write-off and improve their environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings. Featuring: Aisya Aziz , CTO, LiquiDonate In today's episode, we'll also cover: How the LiquiDonate platform works. Where it fits in the e-commerce and logistics ecosystem. How it integrates with other reverse-logistics and e-commerce platforms. Why it supports circular economy goals for product reuse and recycling.
