Why this list matters
When many different teams complain about the same friction, you’re looking at a high-quality opportunity. These problems come from real workflows, not imagination — meaning someone is already trying (and failing) to solve them.
Below is a curated collection of the types of problems that appear repeatedly in SaaS conversations. Inside ProblemSeekr.AI, these become structured Problem Briefs you can filter, evaluate, and build from.
Onboarding & Activation
- “Our trial users never make it past the first login.”
- “Customers get lost between invite, setup, and first value.”
- “Every enterprise onboarding becomes a custom project.”
Reporting & Analytics
- “We have data in five different tools and no single source of truth.”
- “The exec dashboard never matches what finance sees.”
- “I export everything to CSV and rebuild the report manually.”
Billing & Finance Ops
- “Our billing runs on a web of automations and manual checks.”
- “Handling multi-currency, multi-entity invoices is a nightmare.”
- “We don’t know who’s overdue until someone audits payments.”
Permissions & Access
- “Nobody knows who has access to what anymore.”
- “Permissions are either too open or too locked down — no in-between.”
- “Auditors keep asking for reports we can’t easily generate.”
Integrations & Glue Work
- “Sales and success use totally different tools — nothing stays in sync.”
- “Our ‘integration’ is a daily CSV someone uploads manually.”
- “Every new tool adds another fragile link we have to babysit.”
Performance & Reliability
- “The app slows to a crawl at month-end when everyone needs it most.”
- “Bulk actions time out constantly.”
- “We can’t handle batch jobs without killing the UI for users.”
Search & Content
- “Search never finds the record I know exists.”
- “We have thousands of docs but no way to navigate them.”
- “The knowledge base is where information goes to die.”
Collaboration & Workflow
- “Specs live in one tool, comments live in another, decisions live in someone’s DMs.”
- “Handoffs lose context every single time.”
- “Nobody knows who’s actually responsible for the next step.”
