Logistics teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A reconciliation engine that handles reconciliation end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
