Dollar store inventory tracker

Make a mobile app showing real-time stock levels at DAISO locations. Help shoppers find specific items before visiting.

Why now

Japanese dollar stores carry rotating inventory that's hard to track.

Who for
Japanese bargain shoppers
Business model
In-app purchases
Effort
A few weeks

Shoppers waste trips when specialty items are out of stock at their local DAISO.

Develop crowdsourced inventory tracking with user-submitted photos and location verification.

Regular customers would pay for premium search filters and alerts.

Start with just manual photo submissions for Tokyo locations.

Risk: Requires critical mass of active users.
