Whatsapp Business

Has anyone implemented WhatsApp for a small client-facing team and found a good way to manage it?

We have a team of Professional Administrators who work directly with clients, and I would like each team member to have their own dedicated WhatsApp number that is owned by the company rather than tied to their personal WhatsApp accounts.

My requirements are:

Each team member has a separate business number.
The numbers are owned by the company, not the employee.
Team members do not have to connect or use their personal WhatsApp accounts.
Leadership/admins can access calls and message history if needed for coverage, quality assurance, or transitions.
Access can be revoked immediately if someone leaves the company.

Where I'm getting stuck is the relationship between Meta Business Manager, the WhatsApp Business Platform, and third-party providers.

I was hoping to:

Use the WhatsApp Business Platform,
Purchase the phone numbers through a third-party provider,
Maintain company ownership of the numbers,
Avoid having all of our day-to-day operations deeply tied into Meta Business Manager because, in my experience, Meta account administration can become complicated quickly.

However, as I've started setting this up, it appears that most solutions require you to manage everything through a provider such as Respond.io, Twilio, 360dialog, etc., while still relying on Meta for verification and approval.

Have any of you done something like this and would be willing to share how you are doing it? Thanks!
