Teachers lack a reliable way to access clean emergency clothing for students when the nurse is unavailable or unaware of supplies.

Existing systems for emergency clothing rely on a single person (nurse) and lack communication between staff; there is no shared, visible inventory or request process.

Key Features

Centralized inventory dashboard visible to all staff
One-tap request form for emergency items
Notifications to designated responders (e.g., AP, secretary) when a request is submitted
Reorder reminders when stock is low

Target Users: Teachers and school staff in K-12 schools, typically elementary schools, where emergency clothing is frequently needed.

Revenue Model: Freemium for single school (up to 50 staff), $99/mo per school for unlimited staff and inventory tracking
