A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes collections. Aimed at logistics ops teams, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Collections Chaser for Logistics, Run by Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at logistics ops managers, covering collections. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (96) and held back by timing (39). Typical pricing is $6.1k–$121k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$61k.
Logistics teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. In most logistics businesses this job has never had software written for it. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point a workflow engine at collections, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is take-rate, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
