Asset tracking handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at automotive owner-operators, proving value before anyone signs anything.
In short: Asset Tracker for Automotive Owner-Operators is a workflow engine aimed at automotive owner-operators, covering asset tracking. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (96) and held back by timing (51). Typical pricing is $2.0k–$41k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$7.0k.
Automotive teams lose equipment located by asking around. In most automotive businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a workflow engine at asset tracking, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
