A document parser that handles quoting & estimating end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at logistics fleet owners, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Logistics Quote Builder is a document parser aimed at logistics fleet owners, covering quoting & estimating. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (93) and held back by open field (35). Typical pricing is $4.2k–$90k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $4.5k–$13k.
Logistics teams lose quotes that take three days and still miss margin. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes quoting & estimating. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. 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 |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
