The 3rd Man
Every business has two people. We build the third.
Between a business and its customers sits a mountain of manual work nobody sees: orders chased, stock counted, reminders sent, registers updated. The 3rd Man is software that quietly takes it on, with AI only where it saves real effort, so small businesses can get on with business.
