An optimisation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes maintenance planning. Aimed at last-mile delivery ops teams, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Optimisation-Powered Maintenance Planner for Ops Teams is an optimisation engine aimed at last-mile delivery ops managers, covering maintenance planning. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (92) and held back by feasibility (26). Typical pricing is $4.0k–$84k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $41k–$104k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose maintenance done on a calendar rather than on condition. In most last-mile delivery businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Point an optimisation engine at maintenance 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.

Solver capacity that once needed a research budget now runs on commodity hardware. Last-mile delivery is growing at roughly 21% 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 |
