Semi-Pro
Hi all, I'm a second year computer science student looking for a project to occupy my time over Christmas break before starting an internship in the spring semester.
I do quite a bit of stringing for friends, hitting partners, and teammates and because stringing isn't my main job / focus, I've found it difficult to consistently keep track of all of my orders, specific customer requests, the amounts of string I have left, money coming in and going out, when I need to order more strings, etc.
So I want to ask all of the stringers out there - both full-time professionals and those of us who just do it to bring in a little extra cash - would you be interested in / could see yourselves using a simple website or mobile app that served as a stringer's all-in-one personal assistant?
Some of the features I've thought of implementing:
- Set up your own account
- Enter new orders
- Update orders as you string and return racquets
- Enter your string inventory and have it be updated as you use specific strings to fill orders.
- Send you warnings when strings are running low.
- Keep track of your customers and send them an automatic text/email when their racquet is done.
- Keep track of total earning vs. spending.
Is this something that would be useful? I'm also open to any suggestions out there as well!
