People and process beat AI every time

Episode Overview

In this episode, the final one recorded live at Rental Roundtable Live in Atlanta, Achille Ettorre, owner of GTA Equipment Rentals and a widely recognized AI speaker and author, shares a practical framework for implementing AI in equipment rental and explains why most initiatives fail before the technology is even involved.

Achille breaks down the three functions of AI in rental, why every initiative needs to tie directly to a financial metric, and how to use 30-day sprints to implement one process at a time without overwhelming your team. He also makes the case for why human oversight is non-negotiable right now and how AI can transform your operation from reactive to in control.
