Pest control teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. A typical pest control operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Collections handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
