Point a workflow engine at quoting & estimating, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at logistics dispatchers, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Logistics Quote Builder on Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at logistics dispatchers, covering quoting & estimating. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (96) and held back by timing (26). Typical pricing is $4.0k–$108k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$7.0k.
Logistics teams lose quotes that take three days and still miss margin. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A workflow engine that handles quoting & estimating end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-vehicle, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |

| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
