A workflow engine that handles collections end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at healthcare department heads, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Collections Chaser Built for Department Heads is a workflow engine aimed at healthcare department heads, covering collections. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (97) and held back by timing (22). Typical pricing is $7.7k–$163k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$20k.
Healthcare teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. A typical healthcare operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Collections handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
