Superkind for plant engineering

In plant engineering many projects run at the same time, and each one needs the same coordination work: requesting from suppliers, documenting progress, tracking dates, writing protocols. You hand this work to Superkinds. You describe it once in Slack, Teams or by email, they do it in your tools, and nothing goes out before you approve it.
