A workflow engine that handles collections end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at veterinary technicians, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Workflow-Powered Collections Chaser for Technicians is a workflow engine aimed at veterinary technicians, covering collections. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (93) and held back by timing (40). Typical pricing is $12k–$182k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$20k.
Veterinary teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. In most veterinary businesses this job has never had software written for it. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Point a workflow engine at collections, 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 internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
