On this special edition of ISV Talks, Carol Livingston was able to sit down with Chris Giesbrecht, Manager of IT and Business Analytics at AgriHub Inc during Community Summit NA 2025. Chris manages a very complex GP system with over 13+ ISVs and roughly 200 users. We get specific about what Chris is hunting for at Summit: practical AI and automation that helps people today. We discussed his experience in attending Summit NA as a user over several years and also more recently as a speaker and panelist.

Chris explains why AgriHub is taking a year to evaluate options regarding the GP end of life and the path to an ERP migration, learning from peers who have already done GP to Dynamics 365 Business Central migrations, and avoid getting caught in the last-minute rush. We also spend time on the part that can make or break a project: change management, user adoption, and getting people involved early so the new system actually fits how work should happen.

He also shares great advice for first‑time attendees—don’t be afraid to introduce yourself, ask questions, and explore. From unexpected lunch‑table connections to learning from peers who share the same challenges, Chris highlights what so many attendees discover each year: you’re never alone in your ERP journey. The best insights often come from simply talking to other users, asking questions in sessions, and stepping a little outside your comfort zone. You never know which conversation or solution will help you solve tomorrow’s problem.

Big growth happens when sales reality meets operational truth, and that’s the heart of this ISV Talks episode with Alex Vandereycken from XPR365. We dig into their new connector that unifies BigCommerce with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, then close the loop with PayFabric for payments and ShipperHQ for shipping. It’s a cleaner, more reliable order‑to‑cash flow built for real B2B complexity—contract pricing, account hierarchies, approvals, and delivery promises that don’t fall apart once the order hits the ERP.

Recorded at the Community Summit New Desk booth, the conversation tracks how far the ecosystem has come since 2018 and why companies are tired of brittle middleware. Alex shares how booth demos showed orders flowing from storefront to ERP with payment and shipping logic intact, generating strong interest—helped by XPR365’s credibility as the team behind the Shopify Connector Microsoft acquired in 2022. We explore why manufacturers and distributors need deep ERP alignment rather than duct tape, and how this connector honors Business Central’s account‑level rules while reducing exceptions and tightening reconciliation. With ShipperHQ adding carrier intelligence to the same flow, sales and operations finally share one version of the promise.

We wrap with field notes for Summit sponsors: visibility matters more than booth size, and the real wins come from walking the floor, meeting partners, and showing customers how tight integrations remove manual work and unlock revenue. For anyone building a B2B commerce stack on BigCommerce and Business Central—and wanting payments and shipping to “just work”—this episode lays out the playbook.

Follow the show, share it with a teammate who owns B2B commerce or ERP, and leave a quick review to help others find it. Your feedback shapes what we dig into next.
