A narrow workflow engine scoped to dispatch alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at telecom ops teams, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Telecom Dispatch is a workflow engine aimed at telecom ops managers, covering dispatch. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (95) and held back by timing (42). Typical pricing is $2.6k–$53k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$7.0k.
Telecom teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. A typical telecom operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A workflow 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.

Connectors exist for systems that were closed five years ago. Telecom is growing at roughly 11% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| 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 |
