Hi and welcome to episode 221 of The ERP Minute. I’m your host, Rebekah McCabe.

To begin the week, Procore announced it has acquired Datagrid, uniting two powerful AI solutions in the built world. This acquisition will accelerate Procore’s AI strategy and deliver enhanced data connectivity for customers. Through this acquisition, Procore will help customers eliminate data silos and automate complex workflows including autonomously managing submittal reviews and drafting RFIs across platforms with greater speed and efficiency. With Datagrid, Procore will be able to take greater hold of the construction industry and further enhance their product offerings for the future.

Related, Aptean announced the acquisition of OpsVeda, an AI-powered operations command center. Building on Aptean’s recent acquisition of Logility, the latest move doubles down on Aptean’s visions for an autonomous, end-to-end supply chain platform. OpsVeda’s real-time, agentic execution capabilities will complement and extend Logility’s advanced planning and optimization solutions, helping customers move beyond static spreadsheet and siloed data toward continuous, AI-driven orchestration across the supply chain. Aptean continues to build its technology stack for the future, empowering customers with cutting-edge solutions made for future growth.

Finally, Sage announced the introduction of Sage Copilot to Sage Operations (formerly named “Sage Distribution and Manufacturing Operations”). The update gives manufacturing and distribution teams a clearer and more proactive way to manage daily operations, helping them spot issues earlier, make faster decisions, and maintain consistent performance across fulfilment and supply chain activity. Built using Sage AI, Sage Copilot will help companies surface timely insight on key operational, fulfilment and customer issues, enabling them to identify potential delays and bottlenecks earlier, understand the drivers of operational risk, and act sooner to protect timelines and service levels. This is a major step towards empowering Sage customers with AI by embedding the solution throughout its industry offerings. As more companies adopt Sage Operations, they will be able to benefit from the AI boom.
