The episode discusses how Oblyss is helping contractors streamline their operations through integrated software solutions.

In this episode of Beers with Contractors, host Will and Terry recap meeting listeners at the National Foundation Repair Association Conference and discuss Will’s Bedrock Academy event, then welcome guests Rachael and Leslie from Oblyss.

Rachael describes funding and developing the platform over several years and focusing on contractor feedback, while Leslie emphasizes canonical data, rapid development, and simplifying onboarding by pulling data from existing systems. They cover supply catalog integration and markups, plans for estimate-to-order workflows, and permit/engineering coordination, plus future ideas like homeowner portals with job tracking, reviews, and AI-driven communication. 00:00 Introduction 00:36 NFRA Listener Stories 02:18 Meet Oblyss Team 03:47 Leslie Origin Story 06:46 Rachael Pain Points 09:14 Building Oblyss Vision 12:00 Contractors Need Tech 14:51 Data Tracking Matters 21:15 Oblyss Pipeline…
