THE GAP

Generic schedulers and invoice apps don’t handle VIN-based fitment, insurance packets, or driveway ETAs. The workflow breaks at the exact moments mobile glass techs need speed: part lookup, photo proof, and dispatch.

THE BUILD

Build a vertical quote-to-dispatch app for independent auto glass installers and small mobile fleets. Start with VIN lookup, field estimate templates, photo capture, insurance docs, and SMS ETA updates — then sell to suburban U.S. operators first.

WEEKEND MVP

Ship a mobile quote form with VIN lookup, photo upload, PDF estimate, and a texted ETA link.
