In a 50/50 business partnership, the partner handling customer growth and operations lacks visibility, control, and alignment on strategic direction, with no structured compensation or financial reporting, leading to operational friction and stalled scaling efforts.

Workarounds Described

• Relies on multiple inbound channels for orders, no central system (inconsistencies in tracking)
• Uses personal network for equipment access, requiring permission to schedule jobs
• Manual coordination via sporadic communication and email threads

Implied Software Gaps

• Centralized order intake system that aggregates bookings from all channels
• Equipment reservation system with visibility and independent scheduling
• Structured communication and task management tool replacing ad-hoc check-ins
