Executive Summary

Retail store associates see customers daily who dont know their size across brands. A tablet kiosk that predicts size per brand reduces fitting room time, shrink and returns, and gives retailers a measurable in-store conversion tool. Tablet ubiquity in stores and lower hardware cost - iPads and kiosks are already in many stores, reducing deployment friction. Rising apparel returns and omnichannel pressure - retailers face measurable returns and in-store conversion problems, creating budget owners in store operations and ecommerce teams (Stage 1 payerEvidence: moderate). Improved predictive models for size mapping - advances in 2D body measurement and brand size normalization make a lightweight, in-store predictor practical today. Evidence from source - the OP describes daily customer inquiries and an intent to pilot on an iPad, indicating a low-friction validation path and a recurring daily workflow. Wedge - in-store tablet kiosk used by associates or self-serve shoppers at point of decision. Target - mid-market and enterprise fashion retailers with multi-brand sizing variance and physical stores. Workflow entry point - place iPad at service desk, fitting room, or near high-traffic racks to capture immediate fit decisions and convert intent into a purchase. Why room to win - incumbent sizing solutions mostly target online flows (widget integrations, body-measure mobile capture) and do not focus on simple, low-friction in-store validation at the moment of purchase or try-on. Reddit source evidence: OP says "I work at a fashion retailer ... customers dont really know and it varies across brands ... asking customers to try my tool on an iPad in store" which demonstrates an operator-level workflow and daily frequency suitable for a retailer-paid SaaS pilot.
