Why Your ERP Decision Matters Now

Wednesday 24 June 2026
12:00 – 2:00pm
Parnell, Auckland
Free lunch session for wholesale distributors on modern ERP, competitive advantage, and how AI is changing the game.
Is this event for you?

This session is designed for:

New Zealand wholesale distributors and importers who: 

 Are running on legacy on-premise ERP and feeling the constraints.
Have outgrown accounting software (Xero, MYOB) and need proper distribution functionality.
Manage 1,000–50,000 SKUs across multiple warehouses or sites.
Are evaluating what a modern ERP should deliver for wholesale distribution.
Want to understand how AI is creating competitive advantage in distribution—without the hype.
NetSuite 2026-24 (1)-1

Reserve your seat

Free to attend. Lunch provided.

Limited to 10 seats — registrations close when full or on Friday 20 June.

This is a practical session on modern ERP for wholesale distribution—and how AI is making it even more powerful. 

What you'll leave with:

  • What modern ERP should deliver — real-time inventory, landed cost management, automated replenishment and native retailer integration. The baseline every NZ distributor should expect.
  • How AI is changing distribution right now — practical AI capabilities already live in NetSuite today, from demand forecasting and margin analysis.
  • Why your ERP choice is a 10-year decision — what to look for in vendor roadmap, implementation timelines, and how to know if your business is genuinely ready to move.

Don't miss out and reserve you seat today.
