Equipment rental teams lose vendor performance measured only when something breaks. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A reconciliation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes vendor management. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
