SMB PeopleOps Incident Tracker
A lightweight HR workflow SaaS for small businesses to log attendance/performance incidents, standardize manager communications, and run a simple accommodation/return-to-work plan with reminders and documentation trails. It centralizes timelines (no-shows, outreach attempts, warnings), generates consistent templates, and keeps a defensible record for decisions while reducing manager time and stress.
Target customer
Small business owners and operators (5–100 employees) without dedicated HR, especially service businesses managing hourly or hybrid staff.
Problem-solution fit
When an employee becomes unreliable and communication breaks down, owners lose time, face potential disputes, and risk inconsistent treatment. The product provides a repeatable process (check-ins, escalation steps, documentation, and return-to-work plans) that reduces chaos, ensures consistent handling, and creates an audit trail if termination becomes necessary.
