Is there a real market for this or am I building something nobody asked for? (i will not promote)
Hey, I’ve been working on a side project for a few months now and I’m at the point where I genuinely don’t know if I should keep going or if I’m wasting my time.
I noticed that in a lot of smaller manufacturing companies nobody really knows where an order is at any given moment. The floor manager walks around asking people, everything runs on paper or Excel, and somehow things are always late or fall through the cracks.
I built something that solves this without needing an IT department, a consultant, or a six month rollout. Think small business, not enterprise.
Prototype works, the tech is solid. Now I’m trying to figure out if anyone would actually pay for this or if these companies just prefer to live with the problem forever.
Do you know this issue from companies in your area? And what would your first move be to actually get in front of real paying customers, not friends or family?
