E-commerce teams lose a whiteboard that loses half of what the last crew knew. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow voice agent scoped to shift handover alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
