S4 | E12 | Why ERP Is Broken and How Doss Is Rebuilding It for the AI Era - Wiley Jones - Doss

In this episode of ThinkData, I sit down with Wiley Jones, CEO and Co-Founder of Doss.

Doss is a Series B, hypergrowth startup rethinking ERP from the ground up. They are building a modern, AI-native operations stack for physical product companies, designed to replace spreadsheets, legacy systems, and slow, painful implementations.

We cover:

  • Where legacy ERP vendors like NetSuite and SAP have fundamentally missed the mark
  • Why now is the moment for a new category of operations software
  • What makes Doss a credible replacement, not just another layer
  • How AI is actually being applied inside ERP today
  • Why traditional ERP implementations fail and how Doss is changing that
  • The hardest product and GTM challenges they are solving right now

If you are building or scaling an operations-heavy business, this is a must-listen.
