Inspiration Crowded print shops, stolen turns, 20+ minute waits in summer heat. We surveyed 17 LGU students — 94% had left without printing due to crowd. 82% rated their experience 1 out of 5. That was enough.
What it does Upload your document from anywhere, set your arrival time, pick your preferences. PrintFy queues it. The shop prints it before you arrive. You collect and go.
How we built it Validated concept stage. We ran structured student research, mapped the full user flow, and designed the system. Frontend prototype is next.
Challenges we ran into The business model. Why would a shop owner adopt this? The answer came from the data — 94% of students abandon the shop when it's crowded. PrintFy turns those lost customers into completed orders. More volume, not less revenue.
Accomplishments that we're proud of Validating a real problem with real data before writing a single line of code.
What we learned Lead with the problem. Let the data shape the product.
What's next for PrintFy Pilot at LGU. One shop. One semester. Then expand.
