Startup Idea: Custom Project Management Solutions for Small Fashion Businesses
I run and operate a small start-up business in the fashion industry. I currently work with a small team of 2-5 individuals who split the necessary tasks; Assistant, Marketing Specialist, Payroll/Account Executive, Creative Leader etc; creating webpages, invoices, order materials, cut and sew materials, distribute product, create clientele etc.
Unfortunately, due to the demands of my business, I am having a hard time keeping track of all responsibilities delegated to each individual. It has become increasingly difficult to constantly switch networking mediums just to communicate effectively with my team! I've heard enough excuses: "cell battery died" "poor service connection" "ran out of data" "didn't have time to grab my laptop" "ran out of ink" "file type unsupported"
It would be marvelous to have an application or website specifically designed for small business so we can keep a clear, concise form of communication and file sharing! Something similar to Moodle but catered to the new entrepreneur.
When beginning a venture such as owning your own business, one desires success. Keeping organized is a vital part to superb functionality. It is bothersome to carry a rolling briefcase with fabric samples, a laptop, files, check your email, check the company Facebook, set up Skype conferences, etc in order to lift your "baby" off of the ground.
We are wasting far too many resources.
