You can have the contract in local currency, eg $, convert at the moment of payment and reduce the risk considerably.

From a business perspective, what value does using Bitcoin add at that point other than the time delay, exchange and transaction fees?

It's the same as the benefits normally, the buyer didn't have to convert at that point, they just have to pay the pegged rate.
