Uploaded Media/Content & Other Files (5)
Media Name   File Type Date Description
Gram Reporting.PDF   Doc/PDF 9/13/2017 This is a document that was passed to us that has some requested values for a special report that the client has to file. One particular thing of interest is that it has an extended calculation back to a different unit of measure. What I gained from that is that we need to be able to go down the road and split things into mini conversions. We also need to go back uphill (virtually) and show the same values in different units of measure (think both ways - in and out).
Packaging .xlsx   Doc/Spreadsheet 9/13/2017 This is a spreadsheet sample of how to easily organize the mini conversion stuff. It basically has the main or sub item on the left and then a number of options including units of measure, quantity of new, and totals for the main unit of measure. See the spreadsheet for more info. There is also an explanation on the improvements 1 doc that explains things.
Multiple Subs.png   Image/PNG 9/13/2017 This is an image and/or screen shot of multiple packages that have been used up but are still showing as active packages. They were requesting some child rules, some automation, and/or some new bulk management tools for sub inventory.
Improvements-2.docx   Doc/Text 9/13/2017 This is a second request and improvements document. This one has some light text and a number of screen shots from other systems.
ADILAS IMPROVEMENTS-1.docx   Doc/Text 9/13/2017 This is a word doc about requested improvements for the adilas system. It covers group pricing, sub categories for parts and items, better internal builds, ideas on mini conversion, printing improvements for both receipts and labels, better cart and register layout, and being able to delete info. Lots of good ideas and info.


Notes:
On the morning meeting with Steve. We spent the first couple hours just trying to get caught up on the day to day things that needed to be done. As we were talking and working, Steve made a good comment. He said "Keep riding your own horse and don't worry about the other guys". I thought that was well said and helps us just keep going and doing what we need to do. Most of the morning was spent doing lots of prep work, research, and general to do list stuff.

Around 11:15 am (ish) we had a meeting with Anthony from All Greens on the GoToMeeting session. Some of the notes are listed below.

- These are requests that would help all parties on the system. A few little tweaks that will help and make these smoother.

- As a side note... Anthony has provided a number of documents that have screen shots, samples, and some great verbage.

- Auto closing packages for subs - some kind of rules for the children and how they play.

- Maybe bulk closing packages - even to the API level where it closes both internal and a state site through an API socket.

- On conversions... we need to be able to convert both in and out. Say grams to each and then each back to grams or even out to ounces. Basically, once we know the data... allow it to flow sideways between the different conversions.

- Some of the states are interested in the tax collection and making sure that all of the data is not being inflated and/or manipulated. Basically, getting reliable data and having a level of comfort or trust back and forth.

- The deeper we go, the more we are seeing the API sockets being a huge part of the puzzle. That allows data to mix and bounce between systems through a controlled environment.

- Anthony had some great ideas on speeding up the mini conversion piece.

- Setting the expectations on who owns what and who will get what.

- We could really gain some benefits by making a niche specific product that has all of the bells and whistles for that niche. That really helps limit the training and education as well as helping the industry leaders play in a level or world where they are comfortable. Maybe refocus by focusing on a specific industry.

- The conversion process is huge... All of our companies really need this.

- Blocking things going into negatives and helping the flow of things.

- Anthony is wanting to help. How can they help and push projects and ideas forward? The goal is to help all parties involved to be faster and run on a smoother platform. Steve would love to see a top 10 list of wishes and requests. What are the pain spots?

- All parties are looking for information and ideas. We need to help each other going forward.

- Our clients are potentially loosing business due to the processes and complexities of the steps that are required. They are wanting more one-pager type interfaces that are intuitive, easy, flexible, and powerful.

- The register and/or cart interface is a huge piece that helps or hinders the efficiency levels of a company. Maybe focus there a bit more. Basically, let's try to smooth out the road a bit. That would help everybody.

- Anthony feels that he has a lot of leverage and would like to help. Steve and Anthony are looking to have some other meetings and starting to work on projects and tick lists.

- Putting up some seed monies to help push projects forward. These are either custom projects or community funded projects.

- More interest in full job costing and other cost accounting options. There are other parties that are interested and are even willing to play. Lots of talk about getting a better grip and more details on the true cost of production.
