A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes asset tracking. Aimed at logistics warehouse teams, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Asset Tracker for Logistics Warehouse Teams is a workflow engine aimed at logistics warehouse leads, covering asset tracking. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (90) and held back by open field (39). Typical pricing is $5.0k–$76k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$17k.
Logistics teams lose equipment located by asking around. A typical logistics operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A workflow engine that handles asset tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
