"We were paying $2,500 per month just for project management software. Every new hire meant another $15/month, and it was becoming unsustainable," says Sarah Chen, CTO at TechCorp.

By Q3 2023, TechCorp was managing:
- ๐๏ธ 45 active projects
- ๐ฅ 150+ team members
- ๐ 2,000+ tasks weekly
- ๐ฐ $30,000 annual software costs
