Problems & Solutions
Disorganized Workflow Management
Businesses face difficulties managing design approvals, inventory tracking, and customer communications in one system.
MonuCore provides an integrated platform that streamlines design (MonuDraw), workflow tracking, and client communications, increasing efficiency.
Outdated Consumer Engagement Tools
Consumers expect modern, interactive experiences, but many businesses lack digital tools to enhance engagement and sales.
MonuCore delivers customized digital storefronts and interactive design tools, creating a seamless consumer journey.
Inconsistent Pricing Models

MonuCalc standardizes and automates pricing calculations, ensuring clarity and reducing the risk of miscommunication.
Limited Collaboration Tools
Sales, design, and production teams operate in silos, causing delays and inefficiencies in the delivery of services.
MonuCore’s platform fosters real-time collaboration, enabling teams to work together seamlessly across departments.
Resistance to Digital Adoption
Many businesses in the industry rely on manual processes and are hesitant to adopt new technologies.
MonuCore offers user-friendly onboarding and training programs to simplify the adoption of digital tools and ensure successful implementation.
Lack of Industry-Specific Features
Generic software fails to meet the specialized needs of the monument and funeral industry, leaving gaps in operational efficiency.
MonuCore provides custom-built tools, such as inventory management, design modules, and CRM, tailored to the industry’s unique requirements.
