A workflow engine that handles asset tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at solar ops teams, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Workflow Asset Tracker for Solar is a workflow engine aimed at solar ops managers, covering asset tracking. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (92) and held back by moat (51). Typical pricing is $9.4k–$141k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$6.0k.
Solar teams lose equipment located by asking around. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Point a workflow engine at asset tracking, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| 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 |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
