FlatPackFix

FlatPackFix is a mobile app (iOS/Android) that guides people through flat-pack furniture assembly with step-by-step, mistake-proof instructions. Users scan the instruction booklet or box label, then the app generates a simplified flow with part callouts, tool reminders, and “do-not-do” warnings at the exact steps where people commonly mess up (like reversed panels or wrong screw lengths). It also includes a quick parts inventory checklist and a “missing/damaged piece” workflow that drafts the exact support message and part numbers to request replacements. This is not magic: it won’t work for every obscure brand, and it depends on having decent manuals to parse. But for popular flat-pack lines, it can save hours, reduce returns, and prevent the rage-quit moment that ruins the purchase experience.
