01 · The problem
Dispatchers were doing the work outside the product.
Fleet Dispatchers were navigating complex workflows and relying on manual work arounds to complete time sensitive operational tasks. The problem was not simply that RouteLogic lacked capability; execution friction was pushing users toward spreadsheets, phone calls, and external tools before they returned to RouteLogic to update records and complete reporting requirements.

| Friction | User impact | Product risk |
|---|---|---|
| Complex workflows | Slower task completion | Reduced workflow adoption |
| Manual work arounds | Duplicate effort and data entry | Operational inefficiency |
| Fragmented execution | More context switching | Lower trust in the daily workflow |
| Reporting dependency | Users return mainly to complete required records | Product becomes a system of record rather than the preferred execution tool |
