Community groups

A simple way for volunteer-run clubs to track membership renewals without chasing people by hand.

Customer: Volunteer treasurers and secretaries running small clubs and societies
Problem: Membership renewals for small clubs are often tracked in spreadsheets, notebooks or group chats. It is easy to lose track of who has paid, who is overdue and who needs a reminder, and chasing people feels awkward for volunteers.
Proposed solution: A shared membership list that tracks renewal dates and payment status, sends a friendly automatic reminder before a membership lapses, and gives the treasurer a simple view of who still needs to renew.

Small business

A lightweight tool that reminds a business owner when a quotation needs a follow-up.

Customer: Freelancers and small service businesses
Problem: Small businesses often send quotations and then rely on memory, spreadsheets or inbox searches to follow them up. Potential work is lost because the next action is unclear or delayed.
Proposed solution: A simple quotation tracker that records the value, customer, sent date and expected decision date, then recommends a polite follow-up and records the outcome.

Local business

A guided accessibility review that turns observations into a practical improvement plan.

Customer: Independent shops, cafés and venues
Problem: Many small venues want to improve accessibility but do not know which barriers matter most or how to describe their current facilities accurately to customers.
Proposed solution: A mobile checklist that guides an owner around the premises, records entrances, seating, toilets, lighting and communication needs, then generates a public accessibility summary and prioritised improvement list.
