Welcome to Tech Ties & Human Vibes, the show that explores how human creativity and connection drive innovation in the AI era. In this episode, hosts Adam Nelson and Nancy Henriquez welcome guest Chris Marocchi, a sales executive and consultant specializing in enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions for the manufacturing, distribution, and construction industries.

Chris demystifies what ERP and MSPs (Managed Service Providers) are and reveals the surprising challenges small- and mid-sized businesses face with old technology—from outdated DOS systems to companies still running on Excel spreadsheets. He shares powerful stories, like the candy manufacturer that cut a week-long audit down to a single report, and explains why many businesses are lagging behind in adopting new tech. Learn how modern, cloud-based ERP systems can solve common pain points like inventory management, compliance, and process automation. Chris also discusses the future of AI in ERP and offers valuable advice for businesses looking to upgrade their systems.
