Problem Statement

• Patients and salon customers spend hours waiting in physical queues.

• Leads to wasted time, frustration, overcrowding, and safety issues (especially in hospitals).

• Existing systems are either manual (paper slips) or complicated apps that small clinics/salons don’t use.

Idea / Solution

• QNotify: A simple digital token + SMS/WhatsApp alert system.

• Assigns a digital token when a patient/customer registers.

• Sends estimated waiting time via SMS/WhatsApp.

• Alerts again when their turn is near.

• Allows remote check-in to reduce physical crowding.

Purpose & Justification

• For Customers: Saves waiting time, reduces stress, improves experience.

• For Businesses: Less chaos at reception, higher efficiency, happier customers → better reputation.

• For Society: Reduces overcrowding in public spaces, especially post-COVID.

MVP (Minimum Viable Product)

• Phase 1:

  • Use Google Form/Sheet for logging customers.

  • Send notifications via WhatsApp Business API / SMS gateway.

• Phase 2:

  • Build a lightweight mobile/web app for token generation & queue tracking.

  • Display “Now Serving Token X” on a TV/LED screen at the clinic/salon.

Expected Outcomes

• Reduced waiting time (up to 60% less idle time).

• Higher customer satisfaction → repeat visits, word of mouth.

• Increased operational efficiency → staff spend less time managing queues manually.

• Scalable to banks, canteens, and government offices.

Revenue Model

• B2B Subscription: Clinics/salons pay ₹500–₹1500/month.

• Hardware Integration: Charge for token display screens.

• Freemium Model: Free basic version with ads, premium ad-free subscription.

Growth Potential

• Expand to hospitals, gyms, banks, food courts, service centers.

THE CORE IDEA

DecoSnap is a smart interior design app that helps users visualize and style their rooms before making purchases. By uploading photos of their space, they can experiment with layouts, wall colors, furniture, and décor through an easy drag-and-drop editor. The app’s AI provides personalized design ideas and product suggestions based on budget and taste, while also linking directly to online stores for instant shopping. For extra guidance, users can connect with professional designers, making interior design both affordable and accessible.

WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE

Unlike apps that focus only on design or only on online shopping, DecoSnap combines everything in one place.

Users can design and shop directly inside the app.

AI suggestions give personalized style recommendations.

Professional interior designers are available on the platform for consultation.

HOW THE APP WORKS

1. Upload Room Pictures → Start with your real space.

2. Visual Design → Use drag-and-drop tools to experiment with colours, furniture, and décor.

3. AI Guidance → Get curated design ideas and mood boards based on taste and budget.

4. Shop the Look → Match products with online stores and buy them instantly.

5. Expert Help → Connect with interior designers through chat or video call.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Prevents wrong purchases by letting people visualize items in their own room.

Makes design affordable and accessible compared to traditional services.

Bridges the gap between online shopping and real-world interiors.

WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS

Families & Renters: To redesign spaces at low cost.

Students & Young Professionals: For stylish rooms on a budget.

Interior Designers: To showcase work and gain clients.

Furniture Stores: To reach buyers directly via the app.

PRICING AND REVENUE PLAN

Basic Free Version → Simple tools for room design.

Premium Plan → Unlimited templates, AI suggestions, and product links.

Paid Consultations → Users pay per session/project to talk with designers.

Commission from Stores → Small percentage on furniture bought via the app.

WHY THIS PROBLEM MATTERS TO ME

This problem matters to me because the gap between imagination and reality in interior design often leads to wasted money, mismatched purchases, and frustration. Traditional design services are expensive and out of reach for many, while online shopping lacks personalization and visualization. By addressing this challenge, we can make interior design more efficient, affordable, and accessible—empowering users to create spaces that truly reflect their needs and lifestyle.

FUTURE POTENTIAL

In the future, DecoSnap can extend into event decoration design. This means people could virtually set up weddings, birthdays, or office events, and even reuse the décor ideas for their homes later.

CONCLUSION

DecoSnap is more than just an app; it’s a bridge between imagination and reality. By combining creativity, shopping convenience, and professional support, it gives everyone the power to create beautiful spaces that reflect their personality and fit their budget.

The Problem

Almost everyone has faced the frustration of misplacing small but important items—keys, wallets, ID cards, earphones, or even a TV remote. In daily life, searching for these can waste a lot of time, cause stress, or even make you late for something important.

The Solution: A Tiny Bluetooth Tracker

This is a small, lightweight device (about the size of a coin) that you can attach to your belongings—like clipping it onto your keychain, slipping it into your wallet, or sticking it to your laptop bag.

Phone App Control: The tracker connects to your phone via Bluetooth. If you misplace the item, you simply open the app and tap “Find.” The tracker will ring loudly until you locate it.

Last Known Location: If the item is out of Bluetooth range, the app shows you the last place it was connected (e.g., “You last had your keys in the library”).

Reverse Search: If you can’t find your phone, pressing the button on the tracker makes your phone ring—even if it’s on silent.

Community Find: Some advanced versions let nearby users’ trackers (like in a hostel or campus) detect your lost item and update its location anonymously on your app.

BENEFITS

• Saves time and reduces stress in daily life.

• Prevents important losses like ID cards or wallets.

• Affordable, portable, and easy to use.

• Can be a lifesaver in emergencies (like when you need to leave quickly but can’t find your keys).

AI can make it even smarter:

Learn your daily patterns (e.g., you always carry your wallet to class). If you forget it, the app alerts you: “You usually take your wallet at this time—did you forget?”

Detect unusual behavior (like if you leave your bag behind somewhere you normally wouldn’t).

Problem with current apps:

Limited Range: Most trackers work only within a small Bluetooth radius. Once you’re out of range, the device becomes less useful.

No Smart Alerts: Current trackers usually don’t warn you when you forget to carry something important—AI-based reminders are missing.

Dependency on Loud Environments: If you’re in a noisy place, the sound-based “ring to find” feature may not be effective.

Community Feature Gaps: Many trackers don’t support campus/hostel-level community networks for wider coverage.

Battery Issues: Some existing trackers have short battery lives or require frequent charging, reducing practicality.

Why This Matters to Me?

As someone who constantly juggles between classes, projects, and daily activities, I know the frustration of losing small but important things like keys or ID cards at the last moment. It’s not just about the time wasted searching—it’s the stress and panic that come with it, especially when you’re in a hurry. Having a reliable, smart tracker gives peace of mind and ensures I stay on schedule without unnecessary setbacks.

Technical Implementation:

Bluetooth Technology: Low-energy Bluetooth ensures longer battery life and reliable short-range connection.

Mobile App Integration: User-friendly interface for location tracking, alerts, and community-based updates.

Compact Design: Small, lightweight, coin-sized device that attaches easily to belongings.

Conclusion:

Tiny Bluetooth trackers provide a simple, affordable, and effective solution to a common daily problem. By combining smart AI features, community support, and portable design, this innovation helps reduce stress, saves time, and ensures that important belongings are never out of reach.
