Why Enterprises Still Struggle With Broken Workflows Even After Investing in Multiple Tools

According to a McKinsey study, employees spend up to 19% of their workweek simply tracking down information, approvals, or the right person to move a task forward.

That’s nearly one full day lost every week, not because teams are inefficient, but because workflows are fundamentally broken.

Enterprises invest in ERPs, CRMs, HRMS, ticketing tools, and collaboration platforms, yet workflows still collapse in execution. The reason is simple: the ecosystem is fragmented.

Here’s where most organisations hit friction:


1. Systems work in isolation.
A workflow jumps from one tool to another with little to no continuity. Every handoff adds delay and confusion.

2. Employees struggle to follow processes.
Complex tools combined with unclear steps lead to low adoption. People choose shortcuts that destroy consistency.

3. Approvals slow everything down.
Missed notifications, unclear ownership, and stalled escalation create invisible bottlenecks until the damage is already done.

4. Data lacks context.
Different tools hold different pieces of information. Teams spend more time aligning than executing.

5. Manual coordination becomes the default.
Pings, calls, reminders, spreadsheets – humans end up stitching the workflow because the systems don’t.

These are not workflow failures.
These are orchestration failures.

Enterprises don’t need more tools. They need smarter connections that let workflows move smoothly across systems, data, and teams.

This is where Openturf Technologies becomes the enabler, helping organisations modernise operations, and TurfAI becomes the intelligent layer that unifies systems, connects data flows, and automates critical steps so workflows actually function end-to-end. If your workflows feel slower than your teams, it’s time to fix the layer that connects everything.
