BenchOn

🌍 In today’s episode, we tackle a critical challenge in the defence and project-based industries: inefficiency in resource allocation and workforce management. SMEs are frequently held back by underutilised employees, delayed contracts, and costly recruitment processes. But with the power of AI, these bottlenecks are becoming a thing of the past. BenchOn is leading the way by creating an AI-driven platform that matches people, products, and materials to projects exactly when they are needed, unlocking new opportunities for businesses and strengthening national security. Join Tim Walmsley and Todd Crowley as they delve into how AI is transforming defence and industry supply chains, helping businesses optimise their resources and maintain operational efficiency. ⚠️ Topics Discussed: ✔️ The inefficiencies in defence procurement and resource management. ✔️ How AI can match skilled professionals to critical projects instantly. ✔️ Strategic opportunities for SMEs to break into major defence contracts. This episode is essential for leaders and professionals in defence, logistics, and supply chain sectors who are looking to maximise productivity, reduce downtime, and secure long-term growth. 🌐 Don’t miss out—watch the full episode tonight at 8PM sharp! . . . #AI #DefenceIndustry #NationalSecurity #SupplyChainOptimisation #DefenceContracts #LogisticsInnovation #SMEOpportunities #FutureOfWork #AIinDefence #ResourceManagement #TechForGood #BenchOn #VaxaBureau #IntelligenceOptimised
