ShiftArmor

Replace disconnected scheduling, time clocks, and safety

April 20, 2026 9 months solo building a manufacturing SaaS — roast my landing page and product

I've been building ShiftArmor solo for about 9 months. It replaces the disconnected tools manufacturers use to manage scheduling, time tracking, safety, training, and OSHA compliance — all in one platform.

Stack: Next.js + TypeScript, PostgreSQL, AWS ECS, Cognito auth. Solo dev, no co-founder, no funding.

Where I'm at:

Product is live and functional (scheduling, time clocks, incident tracking, risk scoring, OSHA report generation, training matrix, leave management)

Running cold outbound to midwest manufacturers via Smartlead — getting opens but very few replies

Zero paying customers

Pricing: $499–$1,999/mo depending on tier

What I'm struggling with:

Cold email copy isn't converting. I've A/B tested compliance-focused vs. pain-point-focused angles — still early on results

Not sure if the landing page communicates value quickly enough, or if it's trying to say too much

Pricing feels right for the value but I have no market validation yet

What I'd love feedback on:

Landing page (www.shiftarmor.net) — does it make sense in 10 seconds? Is it clear what this does and who it's for?

Positioning — am I trying to be too many things at once (scheduling + safety + compliance)?

Pricing — would you balk at $499/mo for a 50-person plant? Too high for an unknown vendor?

Anything that screams "this person doesn't know what they're doing"

I'm not looking for "looks great!" — I genuinely want to know what's off. Rip it apart.

April 8, 2026 I built a workforce management platform for manufacturing — here's where I'm at

I've been building ShiftArmor for about 7 months now. It's a SaaS platform that replaces the disconnected tools manufacturers use to manage scheduling, time tracking, safety audits, training, and OSHA compliance.

The stack is Next.js + TypeScript, PostgreSQL, deployed on AWS ECS. Solo dev, no co-founder, no funding.

What's live right now:

Shift scheduling with overtime detection and pattern-based rotation

Time clock with geofencing

Safety incident tracking (OSHA 300/300A compliant)

Risk assessment engine with 18 weighted factors

Training management with certification tracking

Safety audit checklists with walkthrough execution

AI assistant for managers (powered by Claude)

Stripe billing with tiered pricing

Where I'm at:

Production is live, infrastructure is hardened

Working on GTM — getting listed on review sites, building out the outbound pipeline

Zero paying customers yet. That's the next milestone.

What I'm figuring out:

How to reach safety managers and plant supervisors who aren't hanging out on Twitter

Whether to lead with the safety/compliance angle or the scheduling angle

Getting first pilots without a sales team

Happy to answer questions about the build or the market. And if you know anyone running a manufacturing floor with spreadsheet safety logs, send them my way.

About

Manufacturers run workforce ops across 4-5 disconnected tools — paper schedules, Excel safety logs, separate time clocks, training binders. I built one platform to replace all of it.
