Main purposes of the application:

  • Make it possible for other Ambassadors to know how many items do other Ambassadors have
  • Assemble Ambassador Teams (by Country, by Interest, etc.)
  • Show dynamic graphics about the current stock, our spread, etc. (~reports per team - council, FPL)
  • Automatically track packages sent via FedEx, and such (tracked package notes)
  • Make sure it is possible to order SWAG without sending a load of emails, and possibly implement feedback by the recipient
  • Swag management and event tools management, requests handling
    • Assign people to the event
      • Keep track of who went where more easily
    • Assign swag budget to the event
      • Keep track of how much SWAG we gave away
      • Possibly also the who
    • Assign monetary budget to the event
      • Keep track of how much money we have left in the fiscal quarter
  • Metrics about: Swag given away versus the money spent, etc.
  • Automatically notify Ambassadors about incoming orders from their teammates
  • See how each region (NA, EMEA, APAC, LATAM..) are performing include diagrams, and schedules from the wranglers, ambassadors.
  • Collect reports, and make it visible to the necessary teams in html and text in clickable links

Long term improvement plans:

  • Connect FedoCal with FedInv, and utilize the scheduling and feedback with events, possibly reports
  • Connection with FedMsg - and utilize the communication possibilities in channels where is necessary (reminders, event swag requests, reimbursements, fundings and more)
