See What AI + Modern ERP Can Really Do For Your Business

Microsoft Business Central, Copilot & the Future of Intelligent Operations

AI is Moving from Experiment to Competitive Advantage

For manufacturers and wholesalers, the real question is no longer whether AI will influence business performance — but whether your systems, data and processes are ready for it. 

Location: Hyatt Place Caribbean Park, 38 Dalmore Dr, Scoresby VIC 3179

Date: 23 July 2026

Time: 9:00am – 2:00pm

ERP Conference

 

Disconnected finance, operations and supply chain systems often force businesses back into spreadsheets, manual reporting and fragmented data - creating poor visibility, reactive decision-making and slower forecasting.

AI is changing this.
By connecting ERP, data and workflows into a single intelligent platform, businesses can unlock stronger visibility, automation and operational control.

Unlock AI Within Your ERP — and Prove the Value

AI is already transforming how leading manufacturing and distribution businesses operate — but the real challenge is applying it in a way that delivers measurable financial and operational outcomes.

At this executive briefing, Cloud Factory will guide you through a practical comparison of SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and MYOB Acumatica — and show how each platform is embracing AI to support smarter decisions across finance, supply chain and operations.

As an attendee, you’ll gain access to our AI Enablement Programme, designed to help you onboard AI into your ERP, identify high-impact use cases and prove real value — with Microsoft licensing and associated consulting costs covered for the first 6 months.
