There is too little software targeted at the 99%. Agree or Disagree?

A few weeks ago, Y Combinator announced that they are looking for products that will disrupt the ERP space, an area that has been notoriously focused on large enterprise back offices. Well, as it turns out, that's exactly what we're working towards at Fieldmobi, so I've spent quite a lot of time thinking about this. Of course strategy is important. But all the planning in the world means nothing if we can't execute things well and in most businesses, the people out on the frontlines, executing aren't connected to enterprise workflows. Not only does that slow things down, it also means that the people planning don't have access to actual data from the ground. It's such a big gap. Today, tech has reached the masses. India is a brilliant example of this with UPI (Mobile Payments) being used in every corner of the country, even with street vendors and in rural areas. Nothing is stopping us from bringing frontline workers into enterprise workflows anymore. They can do it. There is no technological or educational barrier for it anymore. What do you all think? PS: We're launching Fieldmobi Frontline on the 20th of March, specifically for this problem. We hope you will all take a look and share your feedback! Here's the link to our coming soon page: https://www.producthunt.com/products/fieldmobi

Launching soon!
Absolutely, I agree! The gap between enterprise workflows and frontline workers is a real problem that needs attention. It's time to democratize software and make it accessible to the 99%. Excited to see Fieldmobi Frontline launching soon to bridge this divide. Looking forward to checking it out on the 20th of March! Cheers to disrupting the ERP space and empowering frontline workers. 👩‍💻🚀 #TechForAll #FieldmobiFrontline

Agree. Many software products cater to niche markets or technical users, leaving mainstream accessibility and usability often overlooked.

Ever since I laid eyes on SAP I've been wanting to build something 100x better. Problem there is that switching costs are insanely high. For large enterprises, it's nearly impossible to get rid of. Props for taking up that challenge!

@jopie Thanks a lot! It really means a lot! We aren't trying to replace SAP for large enterprises. We know how difficult it is to move ERP systems. We're trying to extend the capabilities of an ERP system to the frontline with Fieldmobi Frontline. We will also be launching another product soon that will be an ERP system designed for small businesses that have never rolled out an ERP system. It will be connected to Fieldmobi Frontline and it will feed the system the data it needs (including master information) to make it very simple for small business.
