A narrow document parser scoped to quoting & estimating alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at last-mile delivery dispatchers, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Last-mile delivery Quote Builder on Extraction is a document parser aimed at last-mile delivery dispatchers, covering quoting & estimating. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (94) and held back by open field (30). Typical pricing is $12k–$186k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$16k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose quotes that take three days and still miss margin. Every last-mile delivery team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes quoting & estimating. Revenue is managed service, 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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 |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
