Automotive teams lose reports typed up in a truck cab after a ten-hour day. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Field reporting handled by a voice agent, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
