The points raised and decisions taken during Client visit to BITS on 16/17 Jul 09 are as under:-

1. First launch ‘ToolScout’ in India as a test phase, followed by Germany & USA. During the test phase, of about one month, the system and procedures to be checked thoroughly by Indian TS team.

2. Advertisements other than related to ToolScout to be avoided in the launch phase.

3. Need more clarity on ‘Money back guarantee’ & ‘Commission %’ . Indian TS Team to review and intimate if any changes are necessary.

4. Automatic approval for pending Orders for which 100% payment is received was suggested. BITS advised to retain human intervention for approval. Status quo will be maintained till further confirmation.

5. Invoicing . Discussions inconclusive. Indian TS Team to suggest appropriate action in this regard after further discussions.

6. Country – Orders will be restricted only to specific countries (to be given by ToolScout), In the launch phase it will be only for ‘India’.

7. Option for daily online stock updation - daily updation of stock (cnc range) to ToolScout website by uploading from an excel file to be included.

8. Stocks to be reduced after placing each order for regular offers & special offers so that orders do not exceed availability of stocks.

9. Integration with ERP – Requires extensive analysis, onsite work and outsourcing SAP effort. Therefore it can be taken up as phase 2 only.

12. Auctions Allocation – Prompt messages to be provided like qty already allocated and remaining for allocation, to facillitate easy allocation.

13. Customer should not bid less than the min. bid amount and should not exceed a limit. (Note :- To be reviewed since even if customers bid more, the auction does not get closed and allocation is decided manually. Recommended to give upper limit as total qty available.

Week / Woche - 26 / 27:

Transfer of www.toolscout.net domain:

Approval of transfer obtained. Payment of Rs.800/- to be made, after which hosting will be possible. Expect to complete by tomorrow.

Payment Gateway:

Decision taken on subscribing to ‘CCAvenue’ for the payment gateway process, which covers all the Credit cards, Debit cards & direct bank transfers through most of the Indian banks. Integration will be possible only after hosting is complete.

Payment gateways for USA and Germany needs to be contracted separately since pricing, bank accounts, workflows will be separate.

Development Activities:

Web Page:

All functional web pages for running the online shop are complete and ready for launch. Testing & refinement process is going on which is an ongoing process, since we are trying with different varieties/combinations.

SEO:

Detailed research and analysis of competetion has been completed and optimal selection of keywords completed. On page optimisations will start after completion of hosting.

Price-list, Discount structure:

Actual Price list/discounts/tax structures and items to be offered on special offers and auctions have been requested from Morris India but is unduly delayed. It is hoped the required live data will be provided by week-28, failing which we can only launch the site without accepting sales orders.

Administration:

Approval process for Regular/Special & Auctions completed.

Menu Access Control & Data backup is in the development process.

All the required reports are under development.
