how to make a engineering drawing inspection ballooning application?

hi everyoneđź‘‹ !

I'm exploring an opportunity to make a SaaS for engineering job shops. Could you please suggest what tech stacks I should explore?

What does the app do?

  1. ✏️ Eliminates manual data entry and paperwork
  2. 📊 Provides insights on the manufacturing processes
  3. đź“„ Generates reports easily

The MVP needs to do this:

  1. users can upload and display pdf engineering drawings
  2. users can draw a selection box over a dimension
  3. app needs to optically recognize the selection box and output a dimension
  4. output dimensions can then be used for report generation and insights discovery

An example of an engineering software that illustrates the points above:

Why make a SaaS if there are such software out there?
Such software usually:

  1. cost quite a bit
  2. require installation and maintenance
  3. run offline and data can't be shared easily

I've intermediate experience in building CRUD apps using Rails & Django. Not much experience in building highly interactive apps. Appreciate your help in providing suggestions, thanks!
