Startup Idea: Product Cross-Matching Software for Lighting Estimators

Startup idea to develop a software that can cross match lighting fixtures from different manufacturers. This tool will act as a comprehensive product database for lighting products, reducing bid times for lighting estimators.

I AM A LIGHTING ESTIMATOR FOR AN AGENCY. PART OF MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO TAKE AN EXISTING BILL OF MATERIAL FOR A PROJECT, AND CROSS ALL ITEMS TO MATCHING FIXTURES THAT MY COMPANY REPRESENTS. THIS IS TIME CONSUMING AND THERE IS CURRENTLY NO SET-UP DATABASE THAT SAYS MANUFACTURER A'S PRODUCT IS A MATCH FOR MANUFACTURER B'S. IF THIS WAS IN PLACE, IT WOULD SAVE AN EXPONENTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME WHEN BIDDING PROJECTS. YES, SMALL EXCEL SHEET. HAS NEVER BEEN SUCCESSFUL, TOO MANY VARIABLES.
