THE PAINS OF SCALING: COMMON STARTUP CHALLENGES

Legacy Management Systems Stifle Growth

1. Financial and Cash Flow Challenges

Weak cash flow management and inadequate working capital (especially during expansion) lead to inaccurate P&L reporting and slow debt collection, compounded by a lack of stringent control over actual costs and the inability to link project budgets, progress, inventory, and sales performance effectively.

2. Human Resources and Organizational Issues

  • Inexperienced staff juggling multiple roles and responsibilities.
  • Absence of standardized operating procedures (approval workflows, reporting, task assignment, etc...).
  • Fragmented workflow, lost information, and internal conflicts.
  • Lack of a centralized management system.

3. Process and Operational Shortcomings

  • Manual work relying on Excel, Zalo, and Email, without clear approval flows.
  • Time wasted on repetitive tasks (data entry, printing documents, file sending, etc.).
  • Absence of tools to track job progress, quality, inventory, or sales metrics.
  • Lack of transparency - ”Who is doing what, where are we, and where are the errors?”

4. Product and Technology Hurdles

  • Product development misaligned with actual customer needs.
  • Missing system for managing backlogs, bugs, and development roadmap.
  • No dedicated tools for managing testing or user feedback.
  • Slow time-to-market, or failure to sustain product quality post-launch.

5. Marketing & Sales Pain Points

  • Lack of effective market entry strategies and sales channels.
  • Failure to manage customer data; absence of a robust CRM system.
  • No tools to measure campaign effectiveness or track sales performance.
  • Loss of opportunities due to poor lead nurturing and follow-up.
