A forecasting model that handles dispatch end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at logistics dispatchers, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Logistics Dispatch is a forecasting model aimed at logistics dispatchers, covering dispatch. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (89) and held back by feasibility (37). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$22k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $43k–$134k.
Logistics teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point a forecasting model at dispatch, 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.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. Logistics is growing at roughly 15% 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 internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
