App Concept

PartMatch Plumber

Snap a photo or enter dimensions/measurements of an unknown plumbing part, and PartMatch instantly identifies it using a database of 100k+ models, including vintage and obscure items. It cross-references manufacturer, year, and series to provide the exact part number or a compatible replacement, saving hours per job.

Key Features

Visual part ID via photo - crops image and matches against database
Dimensional search - input key measurements (diameter, length, etc.) to find parts
Year & series-based filtering - narrow down variations like Delta Monitor 13/14
Compatibility checker - suggests drop-in replacements for obsolete parts

Target Users: Plumbers, maintenance technicians, and property managers dealing with old or rare plumbing fixtures

Revenue Model: Freemium with paid subscription ($9.99/month) for unlimited searches and access to full database; pay-per-use option for occasional users
