Executive Summary
The Pain
Invoices get written up at night. Late payers get texted two or three times. Calls go to voicemail while you're in an attic, and tune-up customers slip through the cracks.
The Outcome
Almost 6 hours back each week, mostly evenings. Two of the five fixes use apps you already have.
