This episode of The FraudCast, powered by Updation, reframes a long-standing belief in automotive retail: the idea that dealership problems arise because teams resist change. In reality, many of the most persistent issues inside accounting and operations stem from something far more fundamental—platform mismanagement.

Updation co-founders Layton Judd (CEO) and Ralph Perkins (COO) share what they learned at the AICPA conference, why dealership back offices have been underserved by modern technology, and how AI-driven platform management is reshaping AP, accounting, and vendor oversight across the industry.

Listeners will learn:

  • Why the belief that “people don’t like change” often distracts from deeper operational issues
  • How unmanaged platforms, outdated processes, and weak vendor oversight create avoidable chaos
  • The difference between traditional change management and a platform-first approach
  • How AI can learn dealership processes and reduce friction rather than introduce it
  • Real examples of vendor creep, surprise charges, and mismatched contracts
  • Why platform management is quickly becoming the new standard in dealership operations

If you're seeking more control over your back office, better visibility into your vendor relationships, and a more modern approach to AP automation, this episode offers a clear path forward.
