Visual IRL Space & Resource Management for Kennels/Storage

This post highlights a clear, unmet need for specialized visual management of physical storage or occupancy spaces, specifically kennels. The user is struggling with general-purpose tools (interior design, hard drive space) that don't cater to dynamic occupancy by variable-sized 'items' (dogs) and the associated planning and billing. A SaaS solution could allow users to define their physical 'units' (kennels, storage lockers, warehouse slots) with dimensions and features, then visually allocate 'items' (animals, goods) of varying sizes. Key features would include a graphical layout, drag-and-drop assignment, real-time occupancy status, capacity planning, historical tracking, and integration with billing based on unit size and occupancy duration.

Product Form: A web-based SaaS with an intuitive drag-and-drop visual interface. Users would define their physical layout and unit types. Dashboards would show occupancy rates and availability. Reporting tools would provide insights into utilization and support billing generation. Could expand to other niches like vehicle storage, specialized warehousing, or event booth management.

Expected Revenue: Subscription model based on the number of managed 'units' (e.g., kennels) or active 'occupants'. Pricing could range from $49/month for small facilities (e.g., 50 units) to $299+/month for larger operations, with tiered features. Given the number of animal boarding facilities, specialized storage units, and niche warehouses, securing even a few hundred customers could lead to significant recurring revenue.
