A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes route planning. Aimed at logistics fleet owners, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Logistics Route Optimiser is a forecasting model aimed at logistics fleet owners, covering route planning. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (90) and held back by feasibility (47). Typical pricing is $4.2k–$89k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $28k–$70k.
Logistics teams lose routes cut once a year and patched ever since. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point a forecasting model at route planning, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, 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 |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
