Problem

Operators of multiple unmanned stores (3-10 locations, estimated 50,000 people) in ice cream, cafe, and laundry businesses fail to detect payment terminal errors, inventory shortages, and equipment failures at night, resulting in an average of 8-15 undetected incidents per store per month. Each incident causes 2-5 hours of lost sales (30,000-100,000 KRW, ~$22.50-75) and additional dispatch costs of 50,000-100,000 KRW (~$37.50-75) per incident for early morning calls.

Solution

Integrates data from POS, kiosks, CCTV, and IoT sensors in unmanned stores to detect spikes in payment failure rates, device offline status, and inventory anomalies in real time, sending alerts to the store owner's app within 30 seconds. Provides remote action guides by incident type (reboot commands, enabling alternative payment methods) and automatically matches nearby management personnel when dispatch is needed.

Target: Operators of 3-10 unmanned stores, aged 30-50, with combined monthly revenue of 30-200 million KRW (~$22,500-150,000)

Revenue Model: SaaS: 39,000 KRW/month per store (~$29.25), 30% discount for 5+ stores, 30,000 KRW (~$22.50) brokerage fee per dispatch
