Is your hydraulic hose pricing inconsistent, dangerous, or based on "hand-waving"? In this Tech Talks episode, Goldleaf founder Grant Holohan reveals how digital tools solve the massive safety and inconsistency risks in distribution. Watch to learn how to automate professional drawings and get consistent, instant pricing across your entire team!Hosts Corey Hayes and Bill Rosado sit down with Grant Holohan, a mechanical engineer turned software founder, to deep-dive into the digital transformation specifically impacting the distribution industry.Grant shares his journey and explains the critical need for specialized configuration tools—like the Goldleaf App—for complex assemblies such as hydraulic hoses. This conversation goes beyond general e-commerce to tackle a core problem: how to eliminate human error and data silos that cause costly pricing gaps and, more importantly, safety hazards in hose fabrication.In This Episode, You Will Discover:Why getting pricing right for complex assemblies can feel like a "magician's trick" (and how to fix it with consistent data).The danger of a single hose assembly requiring data from three separate catalogs, and how to consolidate it.How a digital tool like Goldleaf removes the "Bob knows everything" bottleneck and spreads expertise across your organization.The secret to getting consistent, professional engineering drawings in seconds, not hours.Why resisting automation isn't just a threat to efficiency, but also to your employees' safety.🎧 Tech Talks: Evolving Distribution Chapters0:00 - Introduction: The Digital Shift in Distribution2:50 - Guest Intro: Meeting Grant Holohan, Founder of Goldleaf6:40 - The Biggest Challenge: Hesitancy & Fear of Change in Digital Adoption12:45 - The ROI Clarity Problem: Quantifying the Value of Time-Saving Tools17:55 - Case Study: Success in Automating Drawings & Eliminating "Hand-Waving" Pricing23:20 - Crucial Safety Point: Why Configuration Tools are Life-Saving26:10 - Grant's #1 Tip for Starting a Digital Transformation Journey28:05 - How to Connect with Grant & Goldleaf🔗 Connect with Our Guest & Resources:Learn more or start a Free Trial with Goldleaf App: https://goldleaf.app/Connect with Grant Holohan on LinkedIn: / grantholohan #Distribution #DigitalTransformation #HydraulicHoses #HoseAssemblies #IndustrialDistribution #GoldleafApp #DistributionTechnology #Manufacturing #DistributionSafety #B2BDistribution #HoseBuilder #NotionMarketing
