A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes expense review. Aimed at waste management route planners, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Expense Reviewer Built for Route Planners is a document parser aimed at waste management route planners, covering expense review. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (87) and held back by monetisation (43). Typical pricing is $4.6k–$99k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$16k.
Waste management teams lose expenses approved without anyone actually reading them. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A document parser that handles expense review end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
