A bit of delay has arisen because of confusion regarding registration of Domain Name. Three options have been suggested to Toolscout Team for giving a decision. Decision is awaited and accordingly, the temporary site hosting will be progressed.

Development Activities:
Administration:

Completed the workflow for placing of orders against Regular Offers, Special Offers & Auctions. For regular offers, stocked & non-stocked items are taken into account with clear indication before placing the order and during the order acceptance process. Payment is accepted only in case the items are readily available in stock. If order includes non stocked items, an email confirmation is sought from customer and no payment is necessary. Thereafter, the order has to be followed up manually during approval process.

Email notifications to Customers/TS team / dispatch agencies have been designed along with the write-ups. Order process further refined in order to filter the junk orders.

Based on the changed approach to setting up and launching the site as directed by client, plans have been revised in order to launch the online shop for India as the test phase. It is now planned to use the India address and contact details, with the Toolscout name and present bank account for accepting payments, to start with, for the proof of concept. Later, this may be changed as desired by client.

From discussions held with Indian Client, it is evident that there will be limited items available for immediate despatch. Hence it is planned to include an indication for stocked and non stocked items and regular orders with payment will be possible only for stocked items. If order includes non stocked items, the order will be recorded by the system, without accepting advance payment, and it must be progressed by client through normal procedures.

Indian Clients have been requested to decide on items to be offered on special offers and auctions.

Project delay on account of this unexpected change in plans is inevitable. Efforts will however be made to cover up the lost time.

Details of registration of Toolscout domain sought from Germany, is still awaited and thus hosting of temporary site will be delayed till end June (Provided information is received by mid June).
