What's going with FastCall411 1.0?

Hi Everyone,

I am going to start blogging more of the FastCall411 product activities as we are ramping up on getting 1.0 out the door to keep you all in the loop.

Here's what was done this past Friday when Richard and I met with the vendor who's working on 1.0:


1) We tested the backend of the application where we dialed x numbers of "merchants" to see who eventually got to take the customer. We experienced a few kinks where "all" the merchants got to talk to the customer at the same time but by the time we were done we were able to get 1 merchant to talk to the customer.

2) We also decided on the initial customer experience we would move forward with which basically is that FastCall411 will dial the merchants first and once it finds a merchant, FastCall411 will dial the customer and connect the two.

3) We talked extensively on how to solve the connection problem between the merchants and the customers.

4) We also reviewed the reporting requirements for FastCall411 and added a few more tracking elements.

5) We are targeting to have the 1.0 UI done by Friday and we will be working the IA person this week to flesh this out.

6) 1.0 is currently targeted for July.
