A workflow engine that handles vendor management end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at waste management route planners, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Vendor Monitor for Waste management Route Planners is a workflow engine aimed at waste management route planners, covering vendor management. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (97) and held back by monetisation (22). Typical pricing is $800–$9.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$7.0k.
Waste management teams lose vendor performance measured only when something breaks. In most waste management businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes vendor management. Revenue is flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
