Most AI stories end at the pilot. This one is unfolding on a P&L. On this special episode of The Enterprise Edge® podcast - produced in partnership with QAD | Redzone - Mark Vigoroso sits down with Kevin Davis, VP of Finance at AmSafe - the 500-person TransDigm company whose restraints are onvirtually every major airline on earth.

Davis applies a much-needed and well-timed evidentiary standard to enterprise AI. He explains the hard bar AmSafe set - no project advances unless it strips 40–60% of the transactional activity out of a process - then produces the receipts: sales order entry now absorbs the same volume with 20–30% fewer people, daily cash posting fell from 3-4 hours to under one, and not one agent has been given access to the bank account.

You'll hear exactly how he funded it with CapEx approved with committed savings attached, released in phases against fixed-firm bids, and how he walked internal and external auditors through agentic workflows before go-live under AS9100, FAA Part 145, and SOX. Davis also leaves us with the one thing he'd do differently, and it has nothing to do with technology!
