Franchising teams lose inspections written up twice — once on paper, once at night. In most franchising businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A voice agent that handles inspection end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
