Dry Erase Board Specification & Selection Service

A specialized consulting service that conducts on-site audits of an organization's whiteboarding needs, tests material samples (glass vs. melamine vs. porcelain) under their actual usage conditions, and delivers a written specification document recommending exact products with cost-of-ownership breakdowns. The consultant also sources quotes from suppliers and negotiates bulk pricing.

SERVICE

24 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Eliminates guesswork by providing empirical data from their specific environment (marker type, cleaning frequency, user behavior); saves 20-40% on total cost of ownership by matching material to actual need rather than over-specifying; negotiates supplier discounts that offset the service fee within 6-12 months.

Target Audience

Facilities managers at universities, research institutions, corporate offices with 50+ employees, and school districts making bulk board replacements

Original Problem

Academics and professionals struggle to choose between dry erase board materials with unclear trade-offs

Educators, researchers, and office workers need to select dry erase boards but lack clear guidance on material performance differences (glass vs. whiteboard). Current solutions fail because product comparisons are scattered, anecdotal, and don't address specific pain points like marker ghosting, durability, cleaning difficulty, and long-term cost of ownership.
