Growth phase at {{companyName}}?
Hi {{firstName}},

Saw the funding announcement—congrats on the growth phase!

I specialize in helping manufacturing-general coo/opss tackle operational challenges.

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

1. Multi-site visibility gaps: No real-time view across 3-8 facilities
2. Manual KPI tracking: Teams spending 12-18 hours/week on Excel dashboards
3. Cross-plant communication delays: 4-6 hour lag on critical production updates

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

Best,
{{senderName}}
