Wesco’s AI Play Extends from Invoices to Data Centers

Over the past year, Wesco International (NYSE: WCC) has deepened its use of artificial intelligence and automation across finance, supply chain, and infrastructure.

In one key initiative, the company modernized its accounts-payable operations using Genpact’s AP Suite. According to a company release, “through iterative development and continuous improvement … we’ve reached a point where 40 % of our more than 3 million annual invoices are processed with zero human intervention,” said CFO David Schulz.

In another move, Wesco invested US$10 million in the construction-procurement platform Kojo, combining Wesco’s distribution network with Kojo’s AI-driven materials and inventory management engine.

Wesco also increased its infrastructure focus with AI-optimized data-centre solutions, including guidance on GPU utilization with MIG and Kubernetes to support large-scale workloads.

Across all these efforts, the common thread is orchestration: coordinating humans, bots, and agents into workflows rather than deploying isolated point-solutions.

As Wesco’s Director of Global Intelligent Automation CoE, Max Ioffe, put it: “The process is the hero.”
