Скачать или смотреть Stop the Leak: AI in the Dealership Accounting Office

AI is the biggest buzzword in automotive retail right now — but is it actually improving dealership profitability?

In this episode, Ralph Perkins, Co-Founder and COO of Updation, sits down with Scott Bisbee, Owner of Bisbee Honda of Danville, to talk about how AI is really performing inside the dealership. Not in theory. Not in demos. In real operations.

With decades of hands-on experience in dealership leadership, they break down where AI is delivering measurable results — especially in the accounting office — and where it’s still just hype.

From vendor cost creep and contract auto-renewal traps to billing variances and compliance exposure, Scott shares real examples of how AI tools uncovered thousands of dollars in hidden profit leaks. Ralph explains why focused, dealership-specific AI outperforms generic, multi-industry platforms — and why automation should support your team, not replace it.

If you're a dealer principal, GM, controller, or fixed ops leader wondering whether AI is worth the investment, this conversation delivers practical insight you can apply immediately.
