01 // The Problem

What was difficult, fragmented, or broken?

An event rental business struggled with phone tag, conflicting booking dates, and customer disputes regarding severe weather cancellations.

02 // Constraint & Root Cause Analysis

Why the obvious solution wasn't enough

Generic contact forms do not capture critical event logistical constraints (surface type, power access, setup windows).
