معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
In our very first in-person recording, borrowing the studio mics from our friends at the On the Ramp Podcast, host Mike Ruff sits down with Garage Hive Managing Director and the original visionary behind The Blend, Ray Dilsons.
AI is dominating industry headlines, but for progressive independent workshops, software is only as good as the measurable value it delivers to the bottom line. In this wide-ranging, candid conversation, Ray unpacks what practical automation actually looks like on the workshop floor today, why traditional dealership software models fall short, and how community-led development continues to change the game for independents.
