Sub inventory.docx   Doc/Text 2/11/2016 We finished up doing some more brainstorming on sub inventory. We also got into a big session the adilas community and how to tap into the internal marketplace. We may need to switch our model to an inside out approach.


Notes:
On a GoToMeeting session with Steve. Our main topic was finishing up the sub inventory brainstorming page. We ended up on a number of different topics. Fun session. We also had Russell, Dave Forbis, and Bryan chime in here and there as they found the topics interesting. Kinda fun.

We did a small quote for Kelly Whyman. She wants a few things. We decided to see if we could roll together adding datepickers to all dates, implementing the ice-down date for financials, and cascading database field settings (starting with the customers table) all around the entire site. We decided that would be touching almost 1,000 pages. We also decided that we would have a good 15-20 hours of code writing and logic and then pushing that code to all 1,000 pages. We came up with a number between $30,000 and $50,000. We are going to try to use community funded projects to get some of that stuff done. We can get started as soon as we get the first $5,000.

A huge piece of what we did today was talk about some concepts of the adilas community and how to tap into that as a resource. See the attached notes:

- Next logical step - This is what our goal is... What is the next logical step?

- We are selling a partially done product That has been a huge pain but super worth it... We have a producing idea farm - right now! Our clients are helping us drive the ship!

– If we have a producing idea farm - we need to harvest some of these things.

- We try to listen to what our customers are really asking - within limits of budgets and time - what can we do to help the ones who love what we do? - we may need to pick and choose what clients we service. - what will benefit everybody the most?

- In the railroad analogy, we are the train tracks - we'll let others build out the other pieces as they see fit and needs.

- Quote from Danny Shuford - Adilas is a business solution for solution minded people.

- Ideas from Ryan Fox (adilas client) - Adilas Community - Post things - Training - Teach from the inside out - This is a huge resource that we could tap into - Tap into the power users - Help them setup their own companies - We are sitting on the answer to tech support and customer service - basically make a call to the power users and see if they want to help make some side money - allow our people to make some extra money by helping to fill needs - allow them to set their own schedules or times when they are not working for someone else

- What if we had a merchant account that could be used for the adilas community. Help push things around. This could be for selling both products and services

- Be able to send requests to users for help and tech support - training - setup - audience that is watching what is going on (potential for advertising and marketing) - maybe use Calvin's gmext (group mass texting) texting to the power users. Then let them respond to service the needs.

- See elements of time - in the adilas shop - # 667 - concepts of sharing resources and tapping into a community type platform.

- Referrals and testimonials - who knows it, who loves it, who can help us spread it around and about.

- Idea on a flat tech support/training fee - thinking $20/hour for our community to help with training, setup, and such. We (adilas) then would pass the monies around. We would eat the credit card fees as our part of the process. We could spread the monies around and help track things.

- The way we make our money is by more and more clients using our system. There will be tons of ways to make other monies once things get pushed and get going.

- We really need to get the job costing and finish up the elements of time thing done to get to a higher level... That would be awesome.

- What if we change from "as is" to "community driven" - What do you want? And what tools do you need? Here is what we have, if you like it great. If you want something else, let us know. Let's drive this thing together. Help us know where we are headed.

- Another internal asset that we have is the data that we are storing and connecting together. That is huge!

- Whoever wants to play... then let's play! That is who we want.

- Get the system to help the people know what to do next and how to fix potential problems that come up. Easy wizard steps, new interfaces, training (inside out), new setting and features.

- Corp setting, page settings, location settings, user settings, manager settings, etc. To what level? Business world building!

- Business to Business (B2B) transactions. Application flex grid options. EDI electronic data interchanges.

- Keep plugging, keep plugging! We are going in the right direction! The windows keep opening. This project is way bigger than we are...

- Our business model is: small to medium sized business, self-server, software as a service, open API model, etc.
