Description

Every dealership has contracts. But not every dealership actually knows what’s in them. Welcome to FraudCast, the podcast that cuts through the fine print of automotive vendor and contract management — exposing what’s really driving (or draining) your bottom line.  Brought to you by Updation — the automotive SaaS company forged from frustration, not fanfare. We weren’t built in a boardroom; we were born in the trenches of dealership accounting, where broken systems and cash flow chaos demanded better. Today, we’re redefining automation and financial intelligence so your contracts work for you, not against you.  


Each episode pulls no punches as we dig into:


  • How to spot vendor overcharges, duplicate invoices, and “creative” contract language
  • Proven strategies for managing vendors and reducing financial risk
  • The rise of AI and automation in dealership finance
  • Real-world stories of dealers who turned chaos into clarity with smarter systems


If you’re a Dealership Owner, CFO, Controller, or GM in the automotive, truck, RV, or powersports space, this is your playbook for smarter financial control and sharper operations. FraudCast isn’t another industry podcast. It’s a wake-up call — and a roadmap — for dealership leaders ready to take control of every contract, every vendor, and every dollar. Tune in. Get smart. Never get taken for a ride again.

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 techn...
Ready to hear how a dealership platform was born from real scars—not a glossy pitch deck? In FraudCast’s debut, Updation Co-Founders Layton Judd, CEO, and Ralph Perkins, COO, share Updation’s origin story and pull back the curtain on the costly blind spots hiding in back-office workflows: ghost vendors, invoice mismatches, vendor creep, margin erosion, and those marathon check-signing sessions that still miss problems. They share how connecting contracts → invoices → approvals → budgets—with ...
