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.

Shared Device Tracking Chaos

Organizations lack a simple, affordable system to track shared devices and equipment, causing loss, hoarding, and idle staff.

In their words

unless we're getting paid to track that we aren't doing it

r/PLC on Reddit

I don't want to have to complete a three-week training course just to learn how to use such a tool.

r/sysadmin on Reddit

We've been getting by with spreadsheets and sticky notes for way too long - more than 5 years

r/it on Reddit

Keeping track of equipment across different job sites is starting to become difficult with spreadsheets.

r/Invoice on Reddit

We also do not have a dedicated WMS software, or even a solid integration with our ERP (Netsuite). So, a lot of the actual processing would be manual

r/RFID on Reddit

Offboarding and keeping returned equipment moving were probably our biggest headaches before we split it up this way.

r/ITManagers on Reddit

he still forces me to physically walk the warehouse floor updating a dusty Excel sheet because "that’s where the history is."

r/sysadmin on Reddit

people regularly come in and take stuff, bother IT without submitting a ticket, and otherwise wander around unsupervised

r/ShittySysadmin on Reddit

I don't think they had anything to perform a remote wipe. In any case, this is also a learning experience for us, so any security recommendations are welcome.

r/gamedev on Reddit

We have been dealing with attrition of our handheld Video Laryngoscopes.

r/anesthesiology on Reddit

We get to a point where literally nothing is charged so pickers end up in returns when there's 800+ picks to be done.

r/walmartogp on Reddit

a growing amount of my time is micro-managing how many Chromebooks go to which class

r/k12sysadmin on Reddit

Some things lack scannable serial number barcodes (not present, smudged, etc), or don't have serial numbers to begin with.

Where they talk

  • r/sysadmin
  • r/k12sysadmin
  • r/ITManagers
  • r/it
  • r/Target
  • r/Teachers
  • r/datacenter
  • r/SmallBusinessOwners

Tools they use today

  • Excel
  • Snipe-IT
  • Google Sheets
  • Incident IQ
  • Active Directory
  • Epic
  • GLPI
  • Google Admin Console

Why those fall short

  • No remote wipe; worried they overlooked something and data could be accessed
  • Manager rejects asset software as too modern; Excel is where the history is
  • no way to track who enters or exits the area
  • no way to identify or resync mismatched dongles; low-end sets unsupported
  • no accountability showing who took what; same people lose devices
