Local B2B Demo Route Planner

Find and schedule the independent shops most worth an in-person demo

Problem

A founder selling a countertop-screen subscription to cafes, bodegas, bakeries and salons says the product works, and a short live demo at the counter is what closes the sale — but one person can't walk into enough stores. Small-business threads keep surfacing the same pattern: owners hunting packaging suppliers, EORs or accountants through scattered hearsay.

Solution

A local merchant outreach/scheduling tool: map target-category shops in a city with public info and opening hours, auto-generate the best walking route and daily schedule by neighborhood, log each visit outcome (interested/declined/follow up) and surface short follow-up scripts and reminders. Optionally use nearby public review keywords to judge whether a stop is worth it.

Users

One-person hardware-plus-subscription companies, field-sales micro-SaaS founders, local service solo operators

MVP

Filter nearby merchants by category and save them to a list; generate a one-day visiting route by neighborhood and hours; log visit outcomes with follow-up reminders; store contact cards per merchant; export weekly visit stats

Revenue

Monthly subscription priced by city and active merchant count; export and team collaboration as premium; affiliate revenue with local business data providers

Why now

More one-person hardware-plus-subscription products need in-person demos to close, yet founders have neither a sales team nor field tools; public map and merchant data are enough to power a mobile-first lightweight tool
