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 Tool Tracking Chaos

Teams lose time and money because shared tools, equipment, and materials are not reliably tracked, returned, or accounted for.

In their words

Maschinen werden defekt ins Lager gestellt, ohne dass jemand etwas sagt, oder Geräte verschwinden einfach komplett.

r/Handwerker on Reddit

We are a small shop 4 machinist and have a problem with keeping track or tooling inventory.

r/Machinists on Reddit

people always forgot to write it down and we would frequently run out of something we needed

r/Machinists on Reddit

need lot tracking and COA documentation, raw material inventory tracking at suppliers and several co-mans

r/InventoryManagement on Reddit

Is there a cheap software that already tracks parts and part version control? This is for my startup. I cant afford the more expensive options.

r/Entrepreneurs on Reddit

There are AT LEAST 3 trays each day that are contaminated. Many times they are loaners and often times it leads to cases being cancelled.

r/sterileprocessing on Reddit

leftover materials have been a continuous problem on my jobs, trying to find a solution!

r/Construction on Reddit

Honestly dont want the hassle of showing up and "Oh the line sets are too short, I dont have this, I dont have that, blah blah blah".

r/HVAC on Reddit

We spent a lot of time today tracking down who took the new specialty cutter that arrived.

r/woodworking on Reddit

There are no emails or popup messages for any of this, you just have to "keep your finger on the pulse" of your fleet.

r/Justrolledintotheshop on Reddit

Three pallets of hardware are missing so they couldn’t do a whole aisle, our Lego focal, and one of the pop gateway moveable walls.

r/Target on Reddit

a good 80% of that 72 hour workweek was wandering the factory looking for stuff that had been misplaced

Tool-dependent crews and shops

Where they talk

  • r/Machinists
  • r/Construction
  • r/sterileprocessing
  • r/manufacturing
  • r/electricians
  • r/partscounter
  • r/mechanics
  • r/smallbusiness

Tools they use today

  • Excel
  • Google Sheets
  • Airtable
  • Fulcrum
  • WhatsApp
  • appello
  • barcodes
  • checklists

Why those fall short

  • suppliers misforecast, records inaccurate, no accountability, no auto reorder
  • kits are expensive and don't cover all Allen-key tools
  • no way to restock or track what is needed; supplies go missing
  • sheets don't follow between teams; staff rushed, untrained, no time to check
  • Orders lack designer or client name and no matching invoice or payment.
