A workflow engine that handles warranty & returns end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at last-mile delivery owner-operators, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Last-mile delivery Warranty Handler is a workflow engine aimed at last-mile delivery owner-operators, covering warranty & returns. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by timing (22). Typical pricing is $1.2k–$24k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$7.0k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose warranty claims processed on a spreadsheet and a hope. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a workflow engine at warranty & returns, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
