Another Field Activity Management SaaS

Hello all, this is my first post in here, I'm doing my researches to start a new project, I'm a software developer and have huge past experience with Field Service and Sales Force software for big companies and always saw their current systems using outdated technologies, complex workflows, bad ux/ui, hard to do maintain, and, combined with that I have a few friends who owns small business and have the requirement to track employees in the field (e.g representatives visiting customers to demo/show products).

I know that are plenty of software out there, but I feel that there is a space, a tiny niche for me, I can list as key differentials for my MVP:

  1. Easy to setup, use and maintain
  2. Android and Apple support with modern UI/UX
  3. Primarily focusing in small business requirements (1 to 5 users to manage at first)

I wanted to put some features that I plan to build but I'm still researching.

My questions that you could help me with:

  1. Do you have or know someone that has a business or a requirement for this?
  2. Do you think that modernizing an existing software it is enough to start a new business?

Don't focus only in the questions, any feedback is welcomed!

Best regards,

      Thanks for the feedback, for MVP I was thinking of:

      • Web app to manage users, schedule tasks with very little information, title, description, address and create custom forms (with only free text type of input for now), dashboard to have a overview of users vs tasks
      • Mobile app to be able to see tasks assigned to current user, transition between pending, executing, done and done incomplete, stamp a GPS position to a task while executing.

      I have a lot of other ideas but I already think it is too much for an MVP that I don't know if will have any users lol, I'm thinking on how I could validate with less efforts.

      The Mobile app would be iOS and Android from the beginning as I'm using a technology that helps me with that.

      Thoughts?
