Thanks for the detailed response and your prompt action on this.
Not sure if I missed the mail but cannot locate login details for AppMan?
I am away until next week Wednesday but suggest Simon and Tong go over the walkthrough in the meantime and revert with any immediate comments. I’ll wait for our guys to set up the next meet at their convenience (any time after 18th Oct), as I would like to sit in on this to make my own judgement and/ or be more informed for the BoD meeting in 3 weeks.
Simon/ Tong – after briefly seeing Tong’s current app, this looks like a great (basic) farmer profile tool as a quick fix but would certainly suggest we explore a solution that meets our longer term goals… a). For FCV STP specific for Thapawong, which should be the main focus for now… b). as an alternate solution for BLY suppliers (which eventually will be forced into GMS (corporate mandate); however, even though we’ll be 100% GMS in BLY; AppMan may prove to be a successful (bolt on) reporting tool for local staff who don’t have QlikView access and probably never will.
Simon W – I can imagine a lot of time & effort is going into this from your end so please advise costs soonest (including development). Frankly speaking, this may end up at a ‘loose end’ regarding the board but we’d certainly like to ensure that you’re compensated for your services. Without sounding pessimistic about this, I am confident that we require a solution for FCV and in my opinion, the board has little say in ‘the solution’ but rather it is an operational choice with which solution we approve.
