Utilities teams lose a whiteboard that loses half of what the last crew knew. Every utilities team solves this the same way: someone stays late. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A voice agent that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes shift handover. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
