A narrow document parser scoped to invoicing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at last-mile delivery owner-operators, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Last-mile delivery Invoice Engine is a document parser aimed at last-mile delivery owner-operators, covering invoicing. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (90) and held back by open field (30). Typical pricing is $1.0k–$21k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$9.0k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose invoices assembled from four systems by hand. In most last-mile delivery businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Invoicing handled by a document parser, 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.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Last-mile delivery is growing at roughly 21% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
