Point a workflow engine at vendor management, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at logistics ops teams, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Logistics Vendor Monitor is a workflow engine aimed at logistics ops managers, covering vendor management. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by timing (22). Typical pricing is $3.3k–$88k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $3.0k–$8.0k.
Logistics teams lose vendor performance measured only when something breaks. In most logistics businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Vendor management handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-vehicle, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
