FailoverFlow Router Manager
A self-hosted (or optional hosted) web app that manages multi-WAN failover routers without mandatory per-device cloud licensing. It provides guided setup, continuous health monitoring, automatic failover policies (fiber->5G), and simple uptime/incident reports for non-expert operators running POS and VoIP-dependent locations.
Target customer
Owners/ops managers of single-location to 20-location retail and service businesses (10–50 employees) whose revenue systems depend on always-on internet (POS, card terminals, VoIP).
Problem-solution fit
They lose sales and credibility every time the primary connection drops, and current enterprise options bundle remote management behind expensive recurring licenses. This product delivers the management layer as buy-once/self-host software (or low-cost SaaS), allowing businesses to use supported routers and still get professional monitoring, alerts, and failover control without being locked into a vendor cloud subscription.
