💡 SaaS Idea: WarrantyVault – smart receipt & warranty tracker

Users ask for way to store receipts and warranty info. Idea: mobile/web app that scans e-mail receipts, OCR paper ones, extracts product, price, warranty length, sets expiry reminders, and generates claim docs. Competes with Shoeboxed but focus on warranty. Subscription $3/mo.

Platform: web, mobile

  • SaaS: Shoeboxed (US$18+/mo) focuses on taxes/expenses, not warranty reminders.
