A document parser that handles field reporting end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at warehousing inventory planners, built for one person, not a department.

Warehousing teams lose reports typed up in a truck cab after a ten-hour day. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Field reporting handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Warehousing is growing at roughly 16% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
