The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

As businesses in frontline settings such as retail stores, logistics, manufacturing and nursing care face labor shortages and the need to adapt to changes in working practices, there is a need to maintain and improve operational quality with limited personnel. Demand is also growing for the recording, organization and use of operational information contained in voice communications, and for the automation and enhancement of confirmation tasks, report preparation and information sharing.
