Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

Manual Job Scheduling

Service businesses struggle to schedule jobs and staff efficiently across locations, shifts, and changing conditions, causing wasted time and constant rescheduling.

In their words

es geht um circa 20.000 Ablösungen pro Jahr. Also eine Menge an Terminen, die vereinbart werden müssen.

r/KI_Welt on Reddit

I’d pay big money to get my dryer, washing machine, dishwasher, air conditioner, water leak, gas leak, or an electric malfunction repaired.

r/sweatystartup on Reddit

We double book at least once a week and drive time is killing margins.

r/Tech4LocalBusiness on Reddit

we are still using traditional text message from our "dispatcher" to our techs to dispatch jobs. This is creating a major bottleneck

r/mechanics on Reddit

I had estimates in text messages, appointments in my notes app, customer info in spreadsheets, and route details scattered everywhere.

r/smallbusinessowner on Reddit

Ich suche nach einer Möglichkeit, meine laufenden Aufträge übersichtlich zu verwalten (Status festlegen, in Kalender einpflegen etc.)

r/Handwerker on Reddit

If only the customer would have waited another week, we would have had the 5th axis running this

r/Machinists on Reddit

Currently running 3 machines. I'm beyond tired.

r/Machinists on Reddit

too many guys kept forgetting to check tomorrows schedule and load up so we can just go straight to the job the next morning

r/HVAC on Reddit

every time he drops off a truck he claims he needs it back the very next morning

r/smallbusiness on Reddit

a small group of associates ends up doing the majority of the driving for the entire store

r/HomeDepot on Reddit

customers will deny a repair then call back in & demand urgency to get it fixed when it finally gives out

r/HVAC on Reddit

The gap between a to-do list and actually blocking time for the thing is where most of my week leaks out.
