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.

Slow Multi-Step Approvals

Routine requests stall for days or weeks because they must pass through multiple busy approvers across disconnected tools.

In their words

they basically said management can take days to approve stuff, and they needed it sooner

r/Accounting on Reddit

the workflow is working, but the logic has become too complex. It is causing slow processing, delayed approvals, and sometimes incorrect routing.

r/Netsuite on Reddit

Some of our sites are seeing a 300% increase in ticket volume because of how we are playing wackamole with threatlocker approval requests

r/sysadmin on Reddit

r/Bookkeeping on Reddit

30 minutes. It would have taken 30 minutes to sit down with me to cover all the things we need to make this work smoothly.

r/sysadmin on Reddit

They do this four to five times a day... it is just pure risk-aversion masquerading as diligence.

r/managers on Reddit

Wie es sich anfühlt das vierte Mal am Tag bei der IT anzurufen

r/OeffentlicherDienst on Reddit

The final product which touched about 20 hands put in the exact same meaning as my original draft which was done in 2 hours. Instead it took 2 weeks.

r/CanadaPublicServants on Reddit

Every new drafter on the team went through the same hazing of getting their drafts ripped up for weeks until they figured out the unwritten rules.

r/AusPublicService on Reddit

they require me to print out a screenshot, which they manually sign, then I have to scan it and save it to the system

r/AskUK on Reddit

Someone always wants another cost-benefit analysis, a stakeholder meeting, a risk assessment, interdepartmental consultation, a legal analysis, and a program design flowchart.

Tools they use today

  • Slack
  • Excel
  • Salesforce
  • ServiceNow
  • Workday
  • Google Drive
  • Jira
  • Microsoft Teams

Why those fall short

  • No way to track, batch or make visible the volume of approval requests
  • approval chains are slow and policies ignore staff time cost
  • approvals gridlock when the single manager is busy; no reminders or deadlines
  • bosses too dumb or lazy to use the system
  • approval layers reject work and force redo
