Asset tracking handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at energy ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Energy Asset Tracker is a workflow engine aimed at energy ops managers, covering asset tracking. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (91) and held back by timing (36). Typical pricing is $13k–$188k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$17k.
Energy teams lose equipment located by asking around. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow workflow engine scoped to asset tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
