A forecasting model that handles scheduling end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at logistics fleet owners, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Logistics Scheduling is a forecasting model aimed at logistics fleet owners, covering scheduling. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (92) and held back by open field (45). Typical pricing is $2.3k–$47k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $28k–$89k.
Logistics teams lose a calendar rebuilt by hand every time one job slips. In most logistics businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a forecasting model at scheduling, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
