A workflow engine that handles onboarding end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at equipment rental owner-operators, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.

It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (89) and held back by timing (54).

Equipment rental teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. Every equipment rental team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes onboarding. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
