The idea of ​​a startup: the calculation of the cost of consumables

Let's help people with a choice!

Today I had a thought in my head - to buy a printer. Despite the fact that I have it at work, sometimes it is very useful to have such a thing at home.

After some selection of printers in Yandex.Market, a well-known catalog of all kinds of products with the selection, I determined the range of printers that interest me, and then I realized that I don’t have any idea how much it will take for me in a month ...

')
So, this is what I offer.

main idea

There is a certain site - for example rashodniki.ru .
Several databases are stored on it - the base of printers, the base of cartridges for printers, the base of shops, these cartridges are selling, the base of properties of cartridges, and of course, in trivia.

Accordingly, the user who has come on a site, chooses the printer, enters how many people will use it (from 1 to, for example, 10), how many pages per month will be printed. If the printer is color, how many pages are printed per month in color, how many black and white.
You will probably need to enter a clarification of what proportion of graphics in the printed.

After he entered this data, a standard process is launched - searching cartridges in online stores, comparing their cost, calculating how many of these cartridges are enough, outputting information like

1. Shop A - Cartridge (model 1) - cost / month
2. Shop A - Cartridge (model 2) - cost / month

Sort by each field or any other parameters.
_{NB: K.O. suggests that all information on cartridges can be obtained on the manufacturer's website ...}

Monetization

And now the most important thing is for the sake of what, probably, you will undertake to create such a project - monetization.
Personally, I see two ways to monetize.
They can be used separately, but you can and together.

First way

It is more laborious, as in my opinion. But you decide.
This item is a fee for selecting a particular store from the general list. I do not know, underline there, the inscription "Our partner" or anything else. Labor costs in that it is necessary to negotiate, advertise explain and so on.

Less labor intensive

This way is that it is necessary to make a separate section for companies. In this section, firms will be able to store information about their printers, calculate an approximate budget for some time in advance, depending on which printers they are going to buy and the store in which to buy consumables.

There, it will be possible to track the efficiency of using printers (assuming that they should be printed on and how quickly they ran out), and you can also choose a store with paper (probably, this should be made available in the private section) for the printer and set an arbitrary number of users. the printer.

Actually, that's all! I would be very happy if someone implements this idea - it seems to me that she may be in demand!
