Nobody switches billing software because everything's going great.
They switch because something finally broke loudly enough to notice — a missed autopay run, a manual fix that ate a Friday afternoon, a dealer asking why the numbers don't match.
Most of these systems don't fail all at once. They fail one small workaround at a time, until the workaround is the process.
And it's almost always the same root cause: the software wasn't built for alarm billing. It was built for billing in general, then bent afterward to handle RMR, autopay declines, and service tickets.
Cornerstone went the other way. Quotes, service, autopay, RMR — one system, built by watching dealers actually run their businesses instead of guessing.
If your software only works because you're the one holding it together, it's not really working.
