Common complaints - recurring incumbent review gaps = the wedge to build

Slow platform performance and frequent freezes9×

Persistent lags, load delays, and app freezes (especially with Teams/Excel), causing daily workflow disruption and user frustration.

Steep learning curve and poor onboarding8×

Complex setup, confusing workflows, lack of interactive tutorials, and high training time investment required for new users and custom configurations.

Limited workflow customization flexibility5×

Rigid form presentation and process design that forces users to adapt to Kahua's way rather than supporting truly custom workflows.

Poor third-party integrations and interoperability5×

Reluctance to integrate with competitors' systems, legacy platforms, and industry tools like BIM; isolated ecosystem limits data flow.

Unintuitive user interface and navigation6×

Confusing layouts, unclear document/task locations, redundant workflows, and non-obvious feature relationships hamper user efficiency.

Per-user licensing model is cost-prohibitive3×

High per-seat costs deter broad adoption and exclude key stakeholders, forcing organizations to limit platform access.

Limited out-of-box industry features4×

Incomplete standard reporting, missing contract management, grants, and records management capabilities require expensive custom development.

Data accuracy and export limitations2×

Export functions lack precision and require significant manual data manipulation post-export to ensure accuracy.
