The Opportunity

Problem

Solo founders building construction project management tools cannot integrate IoT sensors for real-time site monitoring without a development team.

Solution

SitePulse provides copy-paste embed widgets that pull live IoT sensor data (temp, humidity, noise, motion) from popular construction sensors into any PM dashboard. Solo founders connect sensors via simple API keys and customize widgets without backend work. Data updates every 30 seconds for instant site insights.

Target Audience
