Inventory planning handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at dental clinic admins, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Dental Inventory Planner on Optimisation is an optimisation engine aimed at dental clinic admins, covering inventory planning. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (97) and held back by feasibility (22). Typical pricing is $5.5k–$118k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $30k–$97k.
Dental teams lose stockouts on the fast movers and cash tied up in the slow ones. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
An optimisation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes inventory planning. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Solver capacity that once needed a research budget now runs on commodity hardware. Dental is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
