   • Customer service (40% adoption)
   • IT management (45%)
   • Operations (76%)

4. Usage-based pricing — Hybrid models (seat + usage) becoming standard. Revenue automation tools needed.

5. Edge computing for field services — Real-time processing for trades/mobile workers. Market → $445B by 2030.

Funding Signals

• Multifactor raised $15M seed (Dec 4, 2025) — security/identity space
