My Paypal account has been locked for 10 years now, because my personal email was linked to a now defunct business, and this traps you into a circle of ‘need more information to unlock your account’, business no longer exists, PayPal can’t compute, can’t unlink the account.
They also took ages to get 2FA, and this awful habit of auto logging you in for payments, so if someone had your cookies they could just make purchases without any addition authentication. Just change the delivery address and fraud is your friend.

Yeah, what a nightmare.
It sounds like like they interviewed people that don’t manufacture.
It’s hard enough to make a monolithic ERP work let alone join different ones.
BOMs, jobs, serial numbers, combining sub assemblies, shipping from partial jobs while maintaining COGs, tracking labor, payroll, manufacturing execution, QA, AR, AP, Inventory management, purchasing, sales, budgeting.
