#29 Merel van der Lei: Why 80% of your workforce is locked out of your tech stack
Let's paint a picture: your leadership team just spent three months debating which CRM to buy. Meanwhile, 80% of your workforce is still using paper forms and bulletin boards to get their jobs done.
These are your frontline workers. The people in manufacturing plants, warehouses, retail floors, and field operations who actually make your business run. And, chances are, they're completely invisible to your technology investments.
We just had Merel van der Lei, CEO and CPO at Wyzetalk, on the podcast to talk about this exact problem. And how it isn't just an operational hiccup โ it's a revenue leak.
