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.

Unnoticed Equipment Failures

Facilities lack reliable real-time monitoring and alerting for critical equipment, so failures go unnoticed until they cause damage, spoilage, or safety hazards.

In their words

If you can create an optical probe with constant and accurate data collection with low maintenance, I think that’s what most folks would like to see.

I told my tenants that there is an occasional water leak costing me hundreds of dollars every time

r/PropertyManagement on Reddit

If we didn’t have that we’d still be trying to maintain a logbook and probably have some fittings that have been missed for years.

r/ElectriciansUK on Reddit

I'm looking into a moisture analyzer. We're a small 2 person shop and have never ~had~ the reason for one, but probably better to have and not need especially for times like these.

r/InjectionMolding on Reddit

battery changes across our listings is a pain point for sure

r/AirBnBHosts on Reddit

AC went out last night, at 3AM equipment started alerting rising temperatures. 5AM systems started shutting off so we moved to our backup and shut down everything else.

r/sysadmin on Reddit

It would be weeks before they would come out at times.

r/talesfromtechsupport on Reddit

Our one freezer door (going from production into the freezer) is broken so its open 24/7

r/Warehouseworkers on Reddit

He keeps clogging them up in about a week. They go from white to pitch black.

r/HVAC on Reddit

on most of the evaporator controllers the thermistors have been replaced with resistors and are just running flat out. Never hitting a defrost cycle.

r/HVAC on Reddit

They're cutting the lines on the customer side at the meter with a sawsall and our system is so naff we have to go looking for it.

r/Wastewater on Reddit

No alarm that a large chunk of the plant was down. We ended up with compliance issues.

Why those fall short

  • only two technicians cover 30 stores, so response takes weeks
  • Cheap sensors read wrong; no reliable way to verify and explain real humidity
  • false positives, repeated alerts, no learning, interrupts transactions
  • locks get cut and system is naff, so they must go looking for it
  • No alarm when remote I/O stops feeding updates
