Wealth creation in the AI era is shifting towards outcome-based pricing. With the decline of traditional SaaS, even Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has pointed out how CRUD-based tools are becoming obsolete. IT departments are now asking how AI will replace their existing SaaS solutions—but the reality is, there’s no direct swap. A CRM or ERP won’t simply have an “AI version.” Instead, businesses must start with their core operations, available data, and strategic goals. Take SHEIN, for example: the fast-fashion giant leverages GenAI and analytics to scrape the web, predict high-demand products, and optimize localized manufacturing and delivery—resulting in $32B revenue with just 16,000 employees. Rather than searching for AI alternatives to existing SaaS tools, companies should focus on solving business challenges. Instead of relying on an ERP, manufacturers can implement Digital Twins, running real-time simulations and scenario-based optimizations for improved efficiency.
