Hey Product Hunt — I'm Brad, founder of Paxelo. 👋 This one's personal. I spent years in outside sales, working a territory out of a truck cab with a notebook on the passenger seat. Every CRM I was handed was built for the manager watching me — never for the work I was actually doing. So the notebook always won. Building Paxelo started as me trying to solve my own problem and turned into a much bigger one: how do you build software a field rep will actually open at stop #8 of a 10-stop day? A few things I learned the hard way while building it: → Reps don't have an adoption problem, they have a relevance problem. If the tool doesn't save them time in the first 60 seconds, it's dead. So we built around the map, not the dashboard. → Route optimization sounds simple until you realize "shortest" isn't "best" — a rep knows which account is worth the detour. We had to build something that respects the rep's judgment instead of overriding it. → The hardest feature wasn't technical. It was deciding what to leave OUT. Every field we removed made reps trust it more. Paxelo today: route optimization, heat scores on every account, prospect discovery inside your territory, and reporting that doesn't make the rep type anything up. I'd genuinely love this community's feedback — especially from anyone who's sold from a vehicle, or built tools for people who work in the field. What's the one thing software has never gotten right about your day? Ask me anything. I'll be here all day. 🚐

Outside sales reps still run their territory out of a notebook. Why has no software fixed this?

I spent years in outside sales, and the thing that always got me: every rep I knew including me kept their real account notes in a paper notebook, even with a CRM open on their phone.

Not because we were old-school. Because the software was built for the manager watching us, not for the work we were actually doing. It wanted data entry. We wanted the next best stop.

I've been building in this space for a while now and I'm convinced the problem isn't adoption it's relevance. A field tool that doesn't save you time in the first 60 seconds is dead on arrival.

Curious what this community thinks: for those of you who've built tools for people who work in the field (sales, service, delivery, trades) what's the hardest part of getting them to actually use it? And for anyone who's done field sales what does your software still get wrong?
