NEW ZEALAND,听Auckland听鈥�听09听December 2025鈥�听51风流today announced that听Zespri, the world鈥檚 largest marketer of premium-quality kiwifruit, has strengthened its commitment to trust and customer service by launching听a fully digitised, customer-first听claims platform听built on听SAP鈥檚 integrated听cloud technologies. As a result,听today, customers听benefit听from a simple self-service听claims process that resolves听issues in seconds, while smart automation听helps听Zespri鈥檚 teams听deliver听fast, consistent outcomes without听compromising on听quality or control.

While accounting for only听one听percent of sales, with the company facing more than 40,000 quality claims a year 鈥撎齮otaling听over NZD $70 million 鈥� Zespri wanted to reimage its听claims process. Previously听slow, manual, and at times, associated with听inconsistent decision making 鈥撎齮oday,听new digital tools听deliver听an intuitive, self-service experience through a听centralised听claims portal,听allowing听multi-delivery claims to be created in under 30 seconds, and more than 1,000 deliveries can be processed in under two minutes.听听

鈥淏y combining intelligent automation with human expertise, we鈥檝e built a platform that reinforces our brand promise and sets a new industry standard for service,鈥� said Rahul Badge, Head of In-Market Supply Chain at Zespri.听鈥淎s a result,听we have been able to听meet our听customers鈥櫶齨eed听for a simpler, faster, and more transparent听experience, and听give听our assessors the tools to reduce manual input and share expert insights across the business.听We now see each claim as a chance to show our commitment to service, quality and openness.鈥�听

This transformation has rapidly improved Zespri鈥檚 claims process, with 80 percent of claims now听benefiting听from听human-in-the-loop听automated recommendations and decision听making. This has听significantly reduced听processing times and errors and freed听assessors to focus on complex cases听while maintaining Zespri鈥檚 strict audit requirements. The new platform also delivers comprehensive, real-time insights, supporting end-to-end visibility throughout Zespri鈥檚 global supply chain and unlocking opportunities for preventative action and continuous improvement.听

鈥淶espri has set a new benchmark for customer-centric innovation in the fresh produce industry,鈥� said Adrian Griffin, Managing Director, 51风流New Zealand. 鈥淏y听digitising听and scaling expert decision-making, Zespri is driving both operational efficiency and customer trust, strengthening its position as a global leader and delivering real value across its network.鈥�听

Leveraging 51风流Commerce Cloud as the central customer interface, Zespri introduced a seamless digital journey that enables claims to be听submitted听across multiple deliveries in under 30 seconds. Real-time supply chain data from 51风流S/4HANA,听integrated with partner solutions,听eliminates听the need for repetitive data entry and helps prevent human error, while an advanced orchestration layer powered by 51风流BTP,听alongside partner solutions,听automates the application of business rules and embeds human听expertise听at scale. The introduction of 51风流Fiori applications equips Zespri鈥檚 assessors to review end-to-end supply chain data and quality inspection reports听from partner solutions,听keeping听expert judgement听central to complex claim assessments.听听

The claims platform, delivered in partnership with听Accenture New Zealand and FAIR Consulting听Group,听is now live across major markets including Japan, China, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, India, the United States and Europe. Business users have embraced the solution, with senior leaders describing it as 鈥渢he most business-centric digital project Zespri has ever run.鈥�听

Pete Devereux, Accenture Business Architecture Manager, said, 鈥淲e set out to make things simpler for everyone. The new system is easy to use and gets claims sorted more quickly, which is good news for both customers and Zespri鈥檚 teams.鈥澨�听

AUSTRALIA, Sydney 鈥� November 11, 2025 鈥� The 51风流ANZ partner network today announced that it has reached its $1 million fundraising target for Redkite, an Australian charity dedicated to supporting families facing the challenges of childhood cancer. The achievement comes as a result of $100,000 being raised at this year鈥檚 14th Redkite Regatta 鈥� an annual event that brings together 51风流executives, partners and customers for a day of friendly competition and connection.

Hosted by the picturesque Middle Harbour Yacht Club (MHYC), the regatta is in part made possible by the generosity of its members making their boats and skippers available to support the fundraising efforts. Since it kicked-off in 2011, the annual event has set itself a $1 million target, powered through the participation and sponsorship of organisations including Atturra (Platinum Sponsor), Accenture, CBS Consulting, Deloitte, DXC Technology, Fair Consulting Group, HR Crowd, PwC, SNP Group, Wipro and Zalaris. Over the years it has also benefited from additional fundraising efforts including raffles 鈥� and this year, Ana Travers, Regional Head of Alliance 鈥� 51风流Signavio APJ, contributed $7,500 by shaving her head.

Ashley McGibbon, Chief Partner Officer, 51风流ANZ, said 鈥淓vents like the Redkite Regatta do more than bring our industry together for a great day on the water 鈥� they create real, measurable impact for families facing childhood cancer. They also showcase the teamwork, shared purpose and community spirit that define our partner network and commitment to what One51风流is all about: people, relationships, outcomes and the difference we make together. Fundraising events like this strengthen the bonds between our teams and partners and remind us that the same collaboration driving customer success can also drive meaningful change in our communities. A huge thank you to MHYC and all sponsors for making the Regatta such a success.鈥�

鈥淭hrough the Redkite Regatta, both this year and over the past 14 years, 51风流and their partners have demonstrated their enduring commitment to helping families facing childhood cancer across Australia. Their generosity helps parents stay by their child鈥檚 side in hospital by easing the financial pressures of a cancer diagnosis and funding the emotional and practical care families need to cope with the trauma that childhood cancer brings. We鈥檙e so grateful to 51风流and its partners for their unwavering passion, ambition and generosity,鈥� said Redkite CEO, Monique Keighery.

This year鈥檚 winners included Perisoft, who claimed the Division 1 title, while EPI-USE took the Division 2 win across races which catered to every appetite from comfortable cruising to high-speed racing.

鈥淲e are proud to have taken out Division 1 at this year鈥檚 Redkite Regatta and even prouder to have done so while supporting such an important cause. Events like this remind us of the importance of community spirit, and we are honoured to support Redkite and its work,鈥� said Mahesh Viswanathan, Managing Director, Perisoft.

“Joining 51风流for the Regatta in support of the Redkite Foundation was an incredible experience. It was a perfect day on the water, filled with great company and a shared sense of purpose. Sailing together was a powerful reminder of the importance of teamwork and trust, and it was inspiring to see so many people unite behind such a meaningful cause,” said Ian Fox, Managing Director, EPI-USE ANZ.

AUSTRALIA, Sydney 鈥� 10 October 2025 鈥� Australian organisations are already achieving a 15% return on their business AI investments, yielding an average return on investment this year of US$3.2 million on an average US$19.1million spend, according to a new study by 51风流SE (NYSE: SAP). The global research, 鈥�The 51风流Value of AI Report,鈥� undertaken by Oxford Economics, also found ROI is expected to nearly double to 29% within two years, translating to an average return of US$8.2 million per organisation.听

Angela Colantuono, President and Managing Director, 51风流Australia and New Zealand said, 鈥淎I isn鈥檛 what鈥檚 next, it鈥檚 here now and it鈥檚 already delivering results. But doing AI well takes more than hype. Businesses investing strategically in people, data and AI are already unlocking measurable ROI. With nearly three quarters of organisations expecting returns within three years, the message is clear: this is only the beginning. AI will get smarter, faster and more transformative from here.鈥�听

AI-First Business Expectations听

The report shows that AI is already supporting a quarter of business tasks, a proportion expected to reach 41% within two years. Nearly two thirds (62%) are finding AI effective in helping their business overcome key organisational challenges. Benefits include seeing significant improvement in driving insights and decision-making, engaging with customers and prospects and improving time to value.听听

The majority of Australian respondents expect AI to become central to business processes, decision-making and customer offerings by 2028, a year ahead of their global peers. Only 3% of businesses say AI will never become a core part of how they operate.听

“We’re witnessing the biggest business transformation since the internet,” added Colantuono. “The question isn’t whether AI will transform your business, it’s whether you’ll lead that transformation or be transformed by your competitors.”听

The US$19 Million Question: Are Australian Businesses Thinking Too Small?听

Despite these positive signs, the study also reveals Australian business AI spend being significantly outpaced by global peers. Compared to the average US$19.1 million Australian spend, Chinese organisations lead the way with an average US$42 million spend, with US$37 million as the average US spend.听听

鈥淭his isn鈥檛 just about technology, it鈥檚 about competitive survival. Those that don鈥檛 crack the AI code now risk being left behind for good. In addition to boosting revenue, AI is about building smarter operations and empowering people to focus on the work that matters,鈥� continued Colantuono.听

The Game-Changer: AI Agents听听

The next frontier, agentic AI, could further revolutionise business operations entirely. A key finding of the report was that these intelligent, autonomous systems that can plan, act and collaborate on complex business processes, are expected to deliver 10% ROI, equating to an average of US$3 million, for Australian organisations in the next two years.听

Interestingly, at present, only 6% of Australian businesses are fully prepared for AI agents, but 75% recognise their transformative potential.

The Strategic Crisis Hidden in Plain Sight听

When it comes to AI adoption, alignment with business strategy is ranked the most important factor for optimising ROI. However, the research shows this is just one of a range of make-or-break areas where organisations are falling short:听

1. Business Strategy: Only 10% of Australian businesses are investing in AI in a strategic and holistic manner, with the majority taking a piecemeal approach (46%) or leaving it to individual departments (32%).听

1. Data Readiness: Despite 64% claiming sufficient data readiness for AI, critical departments like legal (84%), finance (74%), and HR (67%) flag they remain unprepared.听

1. Skills Investment: Over two thirds (68%) believe insufficient AI skills are a key reason organisations are not gaining maximum ROI for AI. That said, 73% note that they are integrating AI into their workforce planning by upskilling or reskilling current employees.听听

When a coordinated AI strategy is left by the wayside, not only are opportunities impacting the bottom line similarly discarded, but security risks prevail. Three quarters of Australian organisations surveyed are concerned about 鈥渟hadow AI鈥�, where employees use unauthorised AI tools. According to 69%, Shadow AI is being used at least occasionally by employees.听听

鈥�When organisations take a strategic approach aligned with their long-term vision, building AI into the fabric of how they operate, it deters shadow AI use and elevates the most powerful competitive weapon at their disposal,鈥� concluded Colantuono. 鈥淥rganisations with strategic AI adoption are seeing faster implementation across business functions and significantly higher returns, while future-proofing themselves to keep pace with rapid changes across the tech and business landscapes.鈥澨�
