A narrow optimisation engine scoped to dispatch alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at logistics warehouse teams, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Optimisation Dispatch for Logistics is an optimisation engine aimed at logistics warehouse leads, covering dispatch. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (87) and held back by feasibility (45). Typical pricing is $2.9k–$58k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $29k–$72k.
Logistics teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
An optimisation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes dispatch. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Solver capacity that once needed a research budget now runs on commodity hardware. 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
