The Problem

Need for Multiple Apps to Achieve Standard B2B Workflows

Competitor Landscape

  • Zapier/Make (general automation)
  • Mechanic/Mesa (Shopify automation)
  • Discrete B2B apps (quotes, approvals, net terms)

Must-Have Features for MVP

Prebuilt Golden Workflows for common B2B scenarios
Deterministic state machine with visual inspector
Unified data model for companies, POs, credit limits
App-embed UI for approvals and messages (storefront/admin)
Connectors for ERP/WMS/3PL and AR systems
Dead-letter queues and replay for failed steps
Role-based visibility for sales reps and buyers
Cost and time-to-serve dashboard vs current app stack

⚠️ Potential Challenges

  • Webhook collisions with existing automations
  • Cross-app data fragmentation and normalization
  • Complex exception handling (backorders, partial ships)
  • Ensuring deliverability for B2B email/SMS notifications

Risk Level: Low

🎯 Keys to Success

  • Replaces at least 4 existing apps in first 60 days
  • Dramatic reduction in failed automations
  • Business-user friendly editor with guardrails
  • Clear ROI reporting (subscription savings + ops hours saved)
