Every time a new employee was hired or existing staff turned over, LAYC had to get new lines or transfer older lines, which meant someone had to physically visit their office to do the work. This was not only time-consuming but also expensive as they had to pay for the service provider's time.

Furthermore, the platform needed to be user-friendly, requiring no software or application downloads from users, and comply with all relevant data privacy and information security laws and regulations.

This pricing model was not cost-effective for Opearlo, leading to inflated operational costs and reduced profitability. The company needed a solution that would allow it to only pay for the actual duration of the calls, thereby reducing its user verification costs.
