Micro-case (anonymous)
Before: weekly invoice readiness prep took several hours and many positions had no clear owner. After 4-6 weeks of pilot discipline: one shared status list, fewer unresolved blockers, and faster pre-invoice decisions.
Next step
After the demo you get: weekly checklist template, required data list, and 14-day launch plan.
