Software piled up. Fragmented data. People doing the work the system should be doing.
- Data lives in several places at once: spreadsheets, emails, different software, people's heads.
- To decide, you have to ask another department, wait for a report, rebuild the context.
- Errors surface late, when they've already hit customers, orders or numbers.
- Every new tool you add brings complexity instead of removing it.
- AI, if introduced, stays a demo: it has no data to truly reason on.
