App Concept

ValveSnap Access

A mobile app that uses augmented reality to locate hidden or hard-to-reach isolation valves, then provides step-by-step access instructions. Includes a shared building asset map so plumbers can see valve locations before arriving on site.

Key Features

AR overlay shows valve location behind walls, under sinks, or in tight spaces
Community-driven database of valve locations with photos and notes
Integration with plumbing inventory docs for each building
Quick-access log of prior service notes for each valve

Target Users: Service plumbers, building maintenance staff, and facility managers in commercial buildings, property management firms, and plumbing service companies.

Revenue Model: $9.99/mo per user for basic valve map access; $29.99/mo for AR features and team sharing.
