Full disclosure: I’m not a developer, heck, I’m not even an "IT guy." I’m a Mechanical Engineer working as a Project Manager in the EPC industry.<br> I started building Kaptiq out of pure frustration. I was drowning in spreadsheets, endless emails, and disconnected tools. Traditional ERPs are either too expensive or too rigid for smaller firms, and it turns out almost everyone in EPC faces this same mess.<br> Kaptiq isn't a "solve-everything" silver bullet yet, but it’s a step taken by someone working right in the heart of the problem.<br> I’m here to learn from the best in this community. What I’ve built is an MVP that still needs plenty of polishing, and your feedback is exactly what I need to take it to the next level.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> ai webdev discuss showdev
