Point a workflow engine at dispatch, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at logistics warehouse teams, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Dispatch Built for Warehouse Teams is a workflow engine aimed at logistics warehouse leads, covering dispatch. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (94) and held back by timing (24). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$68k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$18k.
Logistics teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. 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 narrow workflow engine scoped to dispatch alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
