Business Idea:
A simple management app for household utility tracking that uses OCR and messaging integration to help homeowners and tenants easily monitor water/electricity bills, payments, and dues with minimal effort.
Problem:
Households often struggle with tracking utility bills, payments, and due dates manually, leading to missed payments, confusion, and lack of transparency among tenants and owners.
Solution:
A streamlined mobile app that enables users to scan bills with OCR, automatically upload them into a messaging platform like Line, and check payment statuses across different households, simplifying utility management.
Target Audience:
Homeowners, tenants, property managers, and small-scale landlords managing multiple households or rental units seeking an easy, organized way to track utility payments.
Monetization:
Freemium model offering basic bill tracking for free, with premium features like multi-user access, automated reminders, and detailed reports available via subscriptions or one-time purchases.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Minimal, intuitive interface focused on ease of use with just two taps; OCR bill upload and seamless Line integration give users quick, paperless management—ideal for busy households with low tech needs.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a simple prototype targeting a small community or neighborhood; gather user feedback, optimize OCR accuracy, and promote via social media and property groups before scaling to broader markets.
