A narrow retrieval engine scoped to knowledge capture alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at logistics dispatchers, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Logistics Knowledge Base is a retrieval engine aimed at logistics dispatchers, covering knowledge capture. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by open field (31). Typical pricing is $1.0k–$10k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$104k.
Logistics teams lose twenty years of know-how walking out at retirement. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a retrieval engine at knowledge capture, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Retrieval over private documents became cheap enough to run per query. 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
