Namaste, gap‑hunters. Time is margin. Today’s plays shave hours. Let’s see..

The hole: Crews lose 2–3 hours a day to will‑call lines and last‑minute supply runs.

The wedge: Place smart supply lockers near job‑site clusters. Vendors pre‑fill overnight, pros scan at 6 am and roll.

How it works:

Plans: $49 per locker bay per month for access, $9 restock fee per pull.
Vendors push SKUs by 9 pm; you route a restock driver.
App shows real‑time inventory for foremen.

Why now: Under‑used strip‑mall space, trades already order by phone, and local suppliers want new channels without full ecommerce builds.

Exit vision: License the locker OS to regional chains and take a cut on every overnight tote.

Who should steal this (not just contractors):

Field services: HVAC, electrical, fiber, landscaping. Overnight‑stocked bays = first calls start on time.
Ecommerce/retail: Use the model for return / exchange lockers near dense neighborhoods.
Fleet & transport: Co‑locate lockers with plate‑scan truck‑wash bays to slash idle time.
Communities/real estate: HOA or coworking tool‑locker with weekend pickup.

Spark	Why it prints	Early signal
License‑Plate Truck‑Wash Pass	Plate recognition at unattended bays; drivers prepay 10 washes; owners cut lines and labor.	Lines are constant; time is money per route.
Neighborhood Tool‑Library Pro Tier	$15/mo for power tools, weekend pickup, optional delivery and blade refills.	DIY searches keep climbing.
Return‑Ready Packaging Kits	Prepaid, pre‑labeled mailers with QR flows that convert returns to exchanges.	Brands need friction cuts as returns hammer margins.

🤯 Stat of the Day

2–3 hours is the daily time sink many crews lose to supply runs. Fixing it buys back a full workday every week.

Remember that “minor” app update that tanked your ratings overnight? Yeah…un‑tested releases bite.

With Probado, you spin up exactly the QA slices you need (real‑device testers, video walkthroughs, AI‑flagged bugs) all in one dashboard.

No bloated retainers, no guessing which OS just broke.

Ship on time, sleep at night.
