Common complaints - recurring incumbent review gaps = the wedge to build
Steep learning curve and complex setup12×
Lengthy initial configuration, unintuitive navigation, and insufficient training materials slow adoption and require significant time investment.
Limited reporting and analytics customization11×
Analytics dashboards lack flexibility for custom queries; Tableau integration is difficult; executives need better high-level insights and data slicing.
iOS/Apple-only or poor Android support8×
Platform restricted to iOS devices; Android integration weak or unsupported, forcing organizations with mixed ecosystems to adapt workflows.
Restricted workflow configuration and flexibility7×
Limited ability to reorder checklist items, modify completed checks, or copy checks between modules; inflexible trigger and automation logic.
Inadequate integration and API capabilities7×
Limited third-party integrations (Teams, QuickBooks, etc.); basic API with low customization; manual workarounds required for standard workflows.
Hardware and infrastructure costs add up6×
Requires tablets, displays, sensors, and ongoing maintenance; sensor setup complexity and reliability issues increase total cost of ownership.
Performance, bugs, and mobile instability6×
Frequent lag, QR-code scanning delays, sensor inaccuracies, login issues, and bugs that disrupt workflows and require technical support.
Inconsistent user experience and feature gaps6×
Photo display too small, column reset on updates, lack of dark mode, no multi-language support; missing features like dropdown lists and follow-up work orders.
