Notes:

Meeting with Steve to go over some ideas and plans. Steve has been on fire today. He was pitching new ideas, lining out developers on small steps to bigger projects, and showing me new code that he has been working on. Fun to see. He has a lot of vision and loves to share it and push it along. That is awesome!

Here are some random notes:

- Steve's vision is great! He's been the primary visionary person throughout the years.

- Creative direct messaging options, using HTML compatible customer log notes, that populate out in ecommerce land. This could be controlled by settings, push notification to the user's or client's phone, simple one click login, possible bulk tools on the build and send side, ways of skipping or marking things as read on the user/client side. All kinds of fun ideas. As a side note, we already allow unlimited customer logs or customer log notes. You can already mark them as show on the web, and they will show up outside in the ecommerce area. All we would need to do is tweak that tech a little bit to turn it into a two-way messaging app. If we wanted to... just an idea at this point.

- Steve is working on the mini units project for a gun and firearm dealer. They can set a flag at the part or item category level. It says use or don't use mini units. A mini unit is a sub section under child or sub inventory. The sub, or package, could have multiple subs or serialized pieces under the sub inventory. The mini units project allows for something to be sold as a sub inventory item in bulk, and then as the invoice gets fulfilled, the different serialized pieces could be added in as details of the bulk entry. To explain, say you wanted to sell 10 of a certain item... The invoice would say sold 10 of XYZ item. Then, inside the system, you could tie in special serial numbers to all 10 of those mini unit items. This becomes a mix between a normal stock/unit (one-by-one serialized inventory) and parent/child inventory with granular control and ability to sell in bulk (simple line items on an invoice, but more details held in the background).

- Steve and Sean are going through different scenarios and figuring out processes and procedures. They are then making notes and coming up with solutions. The two of them have been able to work very well together. That is awesome.

- Steve sees one of our core values as being able to listen and hopefully understand what is needed. We are then able to make a plan to fill those needs. That is what adilas has been doing for the past 20 years. The market is talking and leading out with what they want and need, how can we build and capture that market?

- Sometimes the best thing is just taking the next little step. drop by drop, inch by inch, line by line.

- How can we capitalize on what we are building and basically inventing? We love doing R&D. We just need to help it start paying for itself.

- Steve really likes building contacts and doing social networking as a way of getting the information out and selling the product. He really likes, small, on the ground sales team that work and play well together. We pitch it, we sell it, we deploy and do setup, we help train and maintain the clients. We use small internal teams to do the whole process.

- I heard Steve pitching the dependable independent model to one of our guys today. They, our guys and gals, really love that model. Having said that, it does take a special person to fully bloom there. Sometimes it takes some getting used to and/or adaptation of sorts.

- My goal is to help Steve. The two of us together can make a lot of things happen. Good stuff. Both he and I can do whatever and be ok with it. Good Batman and Robin type team.
