7 Mindsets needed more than new software. The Atlanta-based education and wellness company wanted a finance partner who could tell it which tools actually fit its business, then stick around after the system went live. They find that and more through Consero’s AI Fusion Lab.
In the video below, Tim Neville, managing director of the AI Fusion Lab, sits down with 7 Mindsets’ Sara Jones, VP of finance, and Scott Shickler, founder and CEO, to talk through how the lab curates AI for Consero’s clients, matches each company to the right systems, and stays involved past implementation.
What the AI Fusion Lab Does
Consero’s AI Fusion Lab is a team built to do things differently, solving problems more creatively for clients and pushing the business forward in a fast-changing environment. Its mandate is to take clients off the factory floor of day-to-day transaction processing and put them in a position to view their business from a strategic standpoint.
As the AI curator for its clients, Consero vets each option instead of handing a client the newest tool on the market, asks the questions a growing finance team might not know to ask, and reviews the pros and cons so the client doesn’t have to. That curation mindset reflects a broader shift in how machine learning shows up across finance functions, from reconciliations to forecasting.
Curating the Right ERP Fit
“Consero was really great about not just selling us an ERP solution, but finding one that worked for us, one that worked for our business and our processes.”
Sara Jones, VP of Finance, 7 Mindsets
Consero brings deep experience across the AI-native ERP platforms on the market today, along with the implementations themselves. Most vendors need six to 12 months to get a new system live. Consero typically does it in one to three months.
While a lot of vendors treat implementation as the finish line, Consero stays with the client for the long run, supporting the system well after launch.
A 50% Faster Close
“Our speed to close has been cut by 50%. It has helped me be more strategic by allowing me to trust the books so that I can make decisions on other areas of the business that help us scale.”
Sara Jones, VP of Finance, 7 Mindsets
That kind of trust in the books is the same headroom finance leaders need before a funding round, an acquisition, or an exit. For our clients, the value of the partnership comes down to the combination of people and technology. “It’s great to have a partner that brings technology and the human connection together at the same time to make us all better,” he says.
