Construction teams lose a whiteboard that loses half of what the last crew knew. In most construction businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A workflow engine that handles shift handover end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
