Workers compensation is one of the insurance staples of the American workforce; a federally mandated insurance for every United States based company with employees, minus very few exceptions. Though crucial, it’s also a major headache for business owners to get right.

The insurance is based on a certain amount of the employer’s payroll for a certain period, which is usually a 12 month policy period. Often, a business owner will sit down at the beginning of the year and “guesstimate” what they believe the 12 month policy earnings will be, setting aside the appropriate payments throughout the year. At the end of the year, there’s an audit; if the payroll is over what the initial estimate was, there’s an immediate payment due within 30 days, which can be extremely detrimental to a business owner.

Dino Carbone is the Co-founder and Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for SmartPay Solutions, a Connecticut-based company. He joined us on the podcast to explain how cloud-based platforms & technology like this is transforming the workers compensation process for the better.

SmartPay is a Pay-as-You-Go solution, allowing for the calculation of the premium to be based on payroll in each pay period. The money is deducted immediately from the business owner’s account, and the pay-by-period system allows them to prepare and adjust much better, resulting in less cash flow issues. Carbone explains why this is particularly powerful for human capital management companies.

Gartner says 58% of finance teams now use AI

Gartner says 58% of finance teams now use AI

Gartner puts finance AI adoption at 58% in 2024, up 21 points from 2023. Now finance teams need ROI and cost benchmarks. That lands on governance, vendor selection, and measuring AI value without breaking controls.

  • 0158% adoption is a useful internal benchmark: if finance is still piloting, peers may already be scaling workflow-level use cases.
  • 02The Gartner survey found 66% of finance leaders are more optimistic about AI than last year, according to CFO Dive.
  • 03Gartner’s pitch for CFO-facing tools, from AI use-case libraries to budget and efficiency benchmarks, indicates procurement cycles are shifting toward packaged evaluation and governance artifacts.

Microsoft’s supply chain AI agents now factor carbon into routing

Microsoft’s supply chain AI agents now factor carbon into routing

SupplyChainBrain says Microsoft is deploying AI agents to recommend routes based on cost, speed, and carbon impact. Routing and allocation become continuous, model-driven decisions. Data latency and forecast governance become hard costs.

  • 01Carbon-weighted route recommendations only help if carriers provide lane-level emissions data your TMS can actually consume.
  • 02The “latency tax” benchmark of 5 cents per dollar is a useful internal cost-of-delay test for disconnected planning workflows, according to an Anaplan-sponsored SupplyChainBrain webinar.
  • 03If forecasting moves to rolling 12-month models, carrier commitments and penalty clauses become a weekly planning variable, not an annual contracting artifact.
