Last-mile delivery teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 11 hours a week. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Intake & triage 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.
