SPEC

PRODUCT

A no-code orchestration layer that connects a SMB’s core systems (POS, inventory, booking, accounting, payments) into a single workflow interface, using LLM agents to parse unstructured data and auto-generate integrations. The first version ships with pre-built connectors for Shopify, Square, QuickBooks, Calendly, and Wise, plus a drag-and-drop workflow builder and a unified dashboard for reporting and reconciliation.

ICP

Small business owners (or their operations managers) with 5–50 employees who run at least three SaaS tools (e.g., POS + inventory + booking) and currently spend >10 hours/month on manual data entry or Zapier maintenance.

WEDGE

Replace the manual, error-prone process of compiling monthly finance reports by auto-pulling transaction, sales, and expense data from POS/inventory/accounting/Payments into a single, shareable report that updates in real time and can be exported to Excel or PDF.

PRICING

Per-business, per-month subscription with tiered pricing based on number of connected systems and report complexity. · € 199.00 / month

Drag-and-drop workflow builder for auto-generating reports (e.g., monthly finance report)
Unified dashboard displaying real-time data from connected systems
Export reports to Excel/PDF and share via link or email
Basic LLM agent for parsing unstructured data (e.g., receipts, invoices) into structured fields
Admin panel for managing users, permissions, and billing

ARGUMENTATION

TIMING

API deprecation windows (Salesforce Platform API v21–30.0 by 2025-06-30, Microsoft SOAP API by 2027-01-31, Wise API by 2027-04-01) are forcing SMBs to upgrade or replace their integrations. LLM agents can now parse unstructured data across APIs, solving the brittleness that doomed earlier orchestration tools.

MOAT

Pre-built connectors for the most common SMB tools (Shopify, Square, QuickBooks, Calendly, Wise) and an LLM-based integration engine that auto-generates mappings for unstructured data (e.g., parsing receipts, invoices, or spreadsheets). Competitors (e.g., Zapier, Make) require manual setup and lack native reporting. By Y1, the connector library and LLM fine-tuning will create a data moat that is hard to replicate.

WHY THIS WINS

SMBs are willing to pay a premium to replace manual data entry and brittle automations.

“[reddit] 'I would happily pay a couple hundred a month for something that actually talks to my POS, inventory, and booking instead of duct-taping 5 different apps.'”

SMBs need a unified reporting interface to avoid hiring consultants or building internal tools.

“[hn_indiehackers] 'Over time though, they eventually got sick of manually compiling reports for their finance person so they asked me in February to build an admin panel with a report generator inside.'”

API deprecations are forcing SMBs to upgrade or replace their integrations, creating urgency.

“[platform_sunset] 'These API versions are deprecated (as of Summer ‘22 release), are no longer supported, and retired (as of the Summer '25 release).'”

LLM agents can now parse unstructured data across APIs, solving the brittleness of earlier orchestration tools.

“[tech_unlock] 'Our API lets you send money, manage recipients, and monitor transactions in real time — all at the mid‑market rate with low, transparent fees.' (Implied: LLM agents can parse unstructured data like receipts/invoices for reconciliation.)”

KILL CRITERIA

If fewer than 20% of trial users connect at least 3 systems within the first 14 days, the LLM integration engine is not user-friendly enough.
If the churn rate exceeds 10% in the first 90 days, the pricing is misaligned with perceived value.
If the Wise API deprecation window (2027-04-01) is delayed or reversed, the urgency for cross-border payment automation diminishes.
If a competitor (e.g., Zapier or Make) releases a native reporting feature with pre-built templates, the differentiation erodes.
