## Why Software Service Operations Break Down

### Disconnect Tools  
Most software firms use one tool for CRM, another for project tracking, and spreadsheets for financials - creating chaos and missed insights.

### Lack of Visibility  
When you can’t see who’s overbooked or which projects are falling behind, profits take the hit.

### Revenue & Cost Leakage  
Poor time tracking and unclear change requests lead to billable hours slipping through the cracks.
