Point an optimisation engine at dispatch, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at home care compliance leads, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Home care Dispatch on Optimisation is an optimisation engine aimed at home care compliance leads, covering dispatch. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (90) and held back by feasibility (41). Typical pricing is $1.2k–$25k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $30k–$93k.
Home care teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. A typical home care operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
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. Home care is growing at roughly 20% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| 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 |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
