Warehousing teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. In most warehousing businesses this job has never had software written for it. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
