A lead management and order triage app for custom manufacturers. It automatically flags orders below a configurable minimum threshold, suggests alternative vendors, and enforces a premium pricing tier for accepted small orders to deter the worst customers.

Key Features

Configurable minimum order value rule with auto-decline or premium upcharge
Automated alternative vendor recommendation based on product type
Client scoring: tracks discount requests, after-hours pickup requests, etc.
Integrated scheduling blocker to enforce pickup/delivery windows

Target Users: Owners and operations managers in small-to-mid-size custom manufacturing businesses (e.g., metal fabrication, woodworking, specialty parts)

Revenue Model: $49/mo per business subscription, with a 2% per-transaction fee on premium upcharge orders

Part of App Idea
