Scaling industrial operations post-funding
Hi {{firstName}},

Saw the funding announcement—congrats on the growth phase!

I specialize in helping industrial machinery coo/opss tackle operational challenges.

**What I'm seeing from other coo/opss:**

1. Complex equipment downtime: Average 180-240 min/month per critical asset
2. Multi-shift handoff gaps: 23-31% information loss between shift changes
3. Parts inventory optimization: $800K-$1.2M in excess safety stock

I have a 15-minute slot on {{availableDay}} at {{availableTime}}. Would it make sense to have a quick conversation?

Best,
{{senderName}}
