Asset tracking handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at solar project managers, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Asset Tracker Built for Project Managers is a workflow engine aimed at solar project managers, covering asset tracking. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (89) and held back by monetisation (41). Typical pricing is $1.7k–$35k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$6.0k.
Solar teams lose equipment located by asking around. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A narrow workflow engine scoped to asset tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Connectors exist for systems that were closed five years ago. Solar is growing at roughly 24% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
