The site is down
a CRM for this do sound like an interesting product
This is an interesting question. I don't know of any products/apps off the shelf that do this.

This google search result https://phgkb.cdc.gov/FHH/html/index.html seems interesting but the data input seems very manual and not sharable, in a digital way, across family member and doctors.

What do businesses use to collect shipping information at checkout?

I am wondering if there is something similar to Stripe but for collecting shipping information and buying the postage label.I am assuming that businesses use some kind of external shipping API and design the UI to collect shipping information themselves.I am just wondering if there's already a product that streamlines this process?

It depends what quality of software and product you want to build. For an MVP, I think outsourcing is fine.

For growing a company and product, you want to make sure you are hiring the right team not only to build a killer product but also a team that will build maintainable software.

> But again, this wasn’t easy. Especially for us who don’t have the expertise in some vertical to understand its problem enough to build a solution for it.

I am not sure if this is necessarily true. You can spend a weekend studying and understanding a vertical you want to build for.

You can start with questions like "what are some of the pain points this vertical has", come up with ideas, test those ideas and make a determination if your idea is worth pursuing.

Should you pick a niche, yes I think this is necessary. For example, instead of focusing on trying to fix the internet for everyone, focus on solving issues in the UI/UX world for example.

Hope this helps.

A wswig for internal UI/dashboards has a lot of value for companies that don't have a dedicated internal tools team.

My company had an internal tools teams at one point but it got killed because of other business priorities.

We use https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin, that still requires development time and frontend knowledge, but the framework is terrible.

https://marmelab.com/react-admin/ is much better but also required development time and frontend knowledge.
