Public Request Idea Table

This page consolidates the June 2026 inbox research exports into distinct, outreachable ideas. Duplicate threads are merged into one row per theme so the list is easier to use in the Network wiki and later in CRM or messaging work.

Scope

  • Included: deep-research-report 1.md, deep-research-report 2.md, deep-research-report 3.md, You are my senior research assistant.__## PURPOSE.md, and Go through german Twitter and reddit to find any p.md
  • Appendix only: 2026-06-02-conversations.zip, because it is a brainstorm of product concepts, not a list of public buyer-side requests

Software-Solvable Business Problems

Idea Country Why it matters Public source links Suggested opening message
Solo-business admin OS Not stated / global High recurring admin drag across email, notes, invoices, and documents. Solo business admin drag You mentioned losing a big part of the week to email, notes, invoicing, and document filing. I am exploring a lightweight ops system for solo operators and would love to compare it against your workflow if useful.
Spreadsheet replacement for SMB finance, inventory, and reporting Not stated / global Clear spreadsheet pain with reporting, inventory, customer data, and accounting all mixed together. Excel bottleneck You mentioned spending serious time every week fighting spreadsheets for finance, inventory, and customer data. I am exploring a simpler structured workflow for this kind of setup and would be happy to show a rough prototype if useful.
Bank statement and CSV cleanup automation Not stated / global Repeatable data-normalization pain that should be automated once and reused. Bank statement cleanup
CSV import cleanup comment		 You mentioned spending hours cleaning exports before the data is usable. I am looking at a small tool for exactly this kind of normalization and would love to learn which cleanup rules you repeat most often.
Payroll and tax-reporting workflow for tiny teams Not stated / global Manual payroll and fragmented year-end reporting create compliance risk and wasted owner time. Manual payroll in Excel
Small-business payroll reports
Tax reconciliation pain		 You mentioned payroll or tax reporting becoming messy as soon as things got slightly more complex. I am exploring a lightweight workflow that reduces the manual reconciliation piece and would be happy to compare notes if that helps.
Freight coordination and TMS-lite for growing shippers Not stated / global Spreadsheet-plus-email freight handling breaks once order volume grows. Manual freight coordination You described a very common spreadsheet-to-email freight workflow that starts breaking as volume grows. I am exploring a simpler execution layer for this exact gap and would love to hear which handoff is most painful for your team.
Route planning and dispatch optimization for smaller fleets Not stated / global Clear optimization problem with direct time and cost impact. Manual route planning limits You mentioned hitting the limits of manual route planning and spreadsheet dispatch. I am looking at lightweight planning software for smaller fleets and would be happy to show how I would model your constraints.
Restaurant operations console for scheduling, tips, and daily ops Not stated / global Restaurants are still duplicating POS-adjacent workflows in spreadsheets. Excel sheet for tips
Restaurant ops spreadsheets		 You mentioned still relying on spreadsheets for day-to-day restaurant operations even with other systems in place. I am exploring a narrower ops layer for scheduling, tips, and routine tracking and would love to hear what your current stack still misses.
Made-to-order capacity planning for Etsy and small makers Not stated / global Demand exceeds visible capacity, causing overload and delayed fulfillment. Made-to-order overwhelm You described the classic made-to-order overload problem where demand outruns visible capacity. I am exploring a simple queue and capacity planner for small makers and would love to see whether it matches your setup.
Shopify inventory CSV and supplier export normalizer Not stated / global Deterministic schema-wrangling pain is still being done by hand. Shopify inventory CSV pain
Supplier export cleanup		 You mentioned spending too much time massaging CSVs and exports before suppliers or Shopify can use them. I am looking at a rules-based mapper for exactly this step and would love to know which transformations you repeat every week.
Consulting billing and time-to-invoice automation Not stated / global Direct revenue leakage from weak time tracking and invoice creation. Stripe invoice from form
Hours tracking disorder
Consultant invoicing workflow
Lost billable hours		 You mentioned either losing hours before invoicing or spending too much time assembling invoices by hand. I am exploring a much lighter time-to-invoice workflow for small consultancies and would be glad to compare it to your current process.
Vendor onboarding and catalog-structuring workflow Not stated / global Marketplace supply is available, but onboarding ops are the bottleneck. Marketplace vendor onboarding pain You mentioned that the real bottleneck is structuring vendor catalogs quickly rather than finding supply. I am exploring assisted catalog-normalization workflows and would love to understand the formats your vendors usually send.
Agency and outbound campaign setup automation Not stated / global Large setup burden before revenue work even starts. Cold-calling campaign setup bottleneck You mentioned spending far too much human time just getting campaigns ready before the real work starts. I am exploring a tighter setup workflow for this kind of operation and would love to hear which inputs still force the most manual work.
Landlord rent and maintenance ops Not stated / global Small landlords still stitch together ledgers, tenant info, and maintenance manually. Rent tracker in Excel
Landlord spreadsheet overload
Maintenance dispatch need		 You mentioned juggling rent tracking, tenant info, or maintenance across spreadsheets and partial tools. I am exploring a compact landlord ops workflow for smaller portfolios and would love to learn what you still have to track manually.
Bakery order-to-production-to-invoice workflow Not stated / global Orders, production quantities, and invoicing are still disconnected. Family bakery manual orders You described a very manual order-to-production process with re-entry at several steps. I am exploring a small operating layer for exactly this kind of workflow and would be happy to compare it against how your bakery currently runs.
Rental and event-resource scheduling Not stated / global Resource availability, client jobs, and maintenance are trapped in sheets. Event services rental workflow You mentioned operations being spread across multiple sheets for jobs, equipment, and availability. I am exploring a simpler scheduling layer for rental-heavy businesses and would love to know which resource conflicts hurt most today.
Supplier contract and vendor record system Not stated / global Contracts, contacts, and price history are scattered across email, chat, and spreadsheets. Supplier contract tracking pain You mentioned vendor records living across Excel, WhatsApp, and email, which is exactly the kind of fragmentation I am trying to solve. If useful, I would love to compare it against the way you currently track renewals and supplier history.
Agency client portal and approval tracking Not stated / global Approval and asset handoffs are structured but still handled in inboxes and chat. Agency PM software need
Client approvals pain		 You mentioned approvals and client back-and-forth getting lost across email and messaging. I am exploring a leaner approval workflow for agencies and would love to hear what your clients struggle with most in the current process.
Marketing reporting and event execution dashboard Not stated / global Repetitive reporting and event coordination both suffer from weak workflow visibility. Manual marketing reporting
Trade-show event tracking		 You mentioned a lot of recurring manual reporting or event coordination work that should be easier to systematize. I am exploring a lighter workflow for exactly this gap and would love to know where the current reporting or status view breaks down.
Light shop-floor tracking for small manufacturers Not stated / global Smaller workshops need visibility without full ERP overhead. Simple software for workshop flow You mentioned needing visibility into jobs, machines, people, and maintenance without rolling out a heavyweight system. I am exploring a lighter shop-floor workflow for exactly that gap and would love to understand what you need to see in one place.
Production scheduling, WIP visibility, and capacity planning Not stated / global Repeated need for finite-capacity planning and stage-by-stage visibility. Founder drowning in operations
Press-shop capacity planning		 You described the classic problem of knowing orders are moving but not having a real visual schedule or finite-capacity view. I am exploring a practical planning layer for this and would love to hear what constraints matter most in your shop.
BOM, multichannel inventory, and returns control for e-commerce Not stated / global Inventory logic becomes hard once components, channels, and reverse logistics interact. Shopify material cost and stock tracking
Shopify returns and exchanges
Etsy raw-material tracking
Amazon forecasting mismatch		 You mentioned inventory becoming difficult once components, multiple channels, or returns enter the picture. I am exploring a simpler inventory workflow for smaller operators and would love to hear which decisions still depend on spreadsheet guesswork.
Restaurant food-cost and purchasing visibility Not stated / global Independent restaurants still lack affordable day-to-day margin visibility. Small restaurant COGS pain
Food cost and ordering pain		 You mentioned how difficult it is to keep up with ingredient costs and purchasing without a good monthly system. I am exploring a simpler food-cost workflow for independent operators and would love to hear what data you wish you could see earlier.
Low-friction online booking for salons Not stated / global Clear funnel-loss problem with measurable drop-off. Salon booking abandonment You mentioned losing a meaningful share of bookings because the flow is too heavy. I am exploring a lower-friction booking flow for this kind of business and would love to know which step you think causes the biggest drop-off.
Churn early-warning and account-health analytics Not stated / global Usage signals exist, but nobody sees them in time to act. SaaS churn signals too late You mentioned realizing accounts were effectively gone before cancellation ever showed up. I am exploring a lightweight early-warning view for account health and would love to hear what signals you already trust today.

Open Questions

  • Which of the software-problem rows are close enough to TextCAD's actual direction to justify active outreach, and which should stay as general market-learning signals only?
  • Do we want a second pass that ranks the local-AI rows by DACH proximity and buyer intent instead of keeping this page as a broad source register?
  • Should the strongest Germany-facing rows get dedicated German-language reply and DM templates?
