An optimisation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes dispatch. Aimed at logistics fleet owners, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Dispatch for Logistics Fleet Owners is an optimisation engine aimed at logistics fleet owners, covering dispatch. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (93) and held back by feasibility (40). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$22k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $28k–$64k.
Logistics teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. In most logistics businesses this job has never had software written for it. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Dispatch handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is seat saas, 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. Logistics is growing at roughly 15% 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 |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
