Henry Lynch is the CTO and co-founder of Vsimple — an AI-powered process automation platform trusted by ProLift Toyota, RWM Casters, Blue & Co, and dozens of manufacturers across North America. While most competitors hand you a signup form and leave you to figure it out, Vsimple takes the opposite approach — designing, implementing, and supporting every workflow with a hands-on customer success team.

In this episode, Henry breaks down the reality of AI-driven process automation, why self-serve onboarding fails complex workflows, and how Vsimple helped ProLift Toyota double their business without growing their admin team.

Topics covered:

  • How ProLift Toyota doubled their business without adding headcount
  • Why Vsimple replaces CRMs for some clients — and integrates for others
  • What vAI is and how their AI agent works autonomously in the background
  • Why hands-on onboarding beats self-serve for complex workflows
  • How they configure workflows entirely from the UI — no code required
  • What's next: AI that runs scheduled checks while you sleep

If you're a founder in manufacturing, distribution, or dealerships drowning in spreadsheets and email chaos — this episode shows you what a real process automation partner looks like.
