Travel teams lose a whiteboard that loses half of what the last crew knew. In most travel businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Shift handover handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
