00:00:39.890 --> 00:00:41.299
Hey Poultry Nerds.

00:00:41.299 --> 00:00:51.350
We are back today and I'm going to do a video'cause Carey's not here to do what he said, what he normally does, which is start all of the electronic stuff.

00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:52.980
hopefully I do it right.

00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.460
But we are, well, I'm here with Christian from.

00:00:58.329 --> 00:01:02.650
Are we just gonna be from Quail Os today, or are we gonna be from all your company names?

00:01:03.350 --> 00:01:05.200
It's, I'm a entrepreneur a little bit.

00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:11.039
But Quail West is the product from we, I always call it un un What?

00:01:11.039 --> 00:01:15.359
I, now you say it and I forgot How I always tell David about it, is what I say.

00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:23.129
So we are here with Christian from UN or un, is that how you say, an Austrian?

00:01:23.469 --> 00:01:24.219
it's Latin.

00:01:24.259 --> 00:01:25.909
Or UN is the English version.

00:01:25.909 --> 00:01:27.079
It means from all sites.

00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:28.189
From all directions.

00:01:28.189 --> 00:01:28.549
Right?

00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:28.909
Okay.

00:01:28.969 --> 00:01:31.099
that's, that's the meaning behind that name.

00:01:31.549 --> 00:01:36.259
And the reason why is because, we ship, for example, X from all, all directions, right?

00:01:36.299 --> 00:01:39.960
that's the name of my company, five Years in Business.

00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:41.520
And thanks for having me today, Jennifer.

00:01:41.819 --> 00:01:42.989
Well, you're welcome.

00:01:43.180 --> 00:01:46.689
we actually got to meet in person not too long ago.

00:01:47.019 --> 00:01:49.959
And you kind of are from all directions too.

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:51.670
You've been everywhere.

00:01:52.284 --> 00:01:56.364
Thank you so much that I could stop with my camper on my way to Texas and back.

00:01:56.394 --> 00:01:58.584
That was very nice to meet in person as well.

00:01:58.635 --> 00:02:03.995
And yes, I, I like to be in many directions As you mentioned earlier on, I'm, I'm originally from Austria.

00:02:03.995 --> 00:02:05.254
I live now in New Jersey.

00:02:05.795 --> 00:02:10.295
I used to live in Ireland for a couple of years, so it's kind of in my DNA.

00:02:10.324 --> 00:02:18.555
My family is all around the globe as well, so it's kind of in my DNA and that's why I named my company as well, from all sites, from all directions.

00:02:18.605 --> 00:02:21.014
So you're, you're kind of nerdy, Oh yeah.

00:02:21.045 --> 00:02:22.844
I'm gonna give that as a compliment.

00:02:23.115 --> 00:02:25.454
but you're like computer nerdy.

00:02:26.155 --> 00:02:27.394
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:02:28.094 --> 00:02:37.545
Ever since my brother bought a computer, I, I guess you can call it a computer in 1990, so I'm aging myself a little bit.

00:02:37.615 --> 00:02:39.314
I am, a little bit of a computer nerd.

00:02:39.314 --> 00:02:50.444
So yeah, I learned how to code when I was 10 years old, and I've ever since worked in the IT computer industry until I created my own company five years ago.

00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:51.689
Yeah.

00:02:51.689 --> 00:02:56.040
I'm a bit of a nerd, poultry nerd, kind of the, the, the format is perfect for me.

00:02:56.740 --> 00:02:57.040
Yep.

00:02:57.699 --> 00:03:06.639
And, and so now you've moved from just selling eating eggs and hatching eggs to creating this app that you That's right.

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:08.449
a whole big app.

00:03:08.629 --> 00:03:11.345
I thought I was doing spectacular with website stuff.

00:03:11.704 --> 00:03:14.170
And, and you've created this whole thing.

00:03:15.009 --> 00:03:18.339
It's a whole ecosystem, a whole, yeah.

00:03:18.389 --> 00:03:19.829
app for your Android phone.

00:03:19.829 --> 00:03:21.689
You can install it there on your iPhone.

00:03:21.689 --> 00:03:25.199
You can install it, but the cool thing is you can use it on the computer as well.

00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:34.560
And the reason why I created it was when I started with my quail business, there was no specific software around for.

00:03:34.964 --> 00:03:40.634
Quail or, but also in poultry in general, where you can do business related stuff, right?

00:03:40.735 --> 00:03:45.605
see if you're actually profitable, write an invoice to a customer, to shipping.

00:03:45.725 --> 00:03:52.504
I wanted something where you can do it all in one thing to manage your flock, to track your hatches, all the different things.

00:03:52.504 --> 00:03:53.884
What we do in our business.

00:03:53.884 --> 00:03:57.754
When I started five years ago, I, I needed an accounting software.

00:03:57.754 --> 00:03:59.435
I needed a shipping software.

00:03:59.435 --> 00:03:59.915
I needed.

00:04:00.404 --> 00:04:06.795
spreadsheets to kind of track my hatches and my production of the eggs, or the dog treats what I make.

00:04:07.194 --> 00:04:20.764
I use, and even until now, I lose, I use still a lot of different software packages to run my business and I figured, if somebody starts out new now, it would be nice to have something which does everything in in one.

00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.839
One app, it is a web app, what I coded here.

00:04:25.290 --> 00:04:32.920
And I wanna help other farms to streamline their business, to give them tools at their hands, which are just making their lives a little bit easier.

00:04:33.069 --> 00:04:45.050
'cause I know a computer stuff, building websites is one thing, but then, having a actual system in place where you can write invoices, track your expenses, all that stuff, which comes with running a business.

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:46.439
that's the tricky thing.

00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:47.220
I figured, okay.

00:04:47.579 --> 00:04:50.459
I built something for myself in the, in the background.

00:04:50.459 --> 00:05:01.089
And now what I, what I have done and used for the last five years, I bring it now to the people, that they can have a bit easier start compared than how it was for me five years ago.

00:05:01.875 --> 00:05:04.014
So you said it would invoice also.

00:05:04.870 --> 00:05:07.120
You can write invoices with it and things like that.

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:08.829
I you a little tour of what it does.

00:05:09.459 --> 00:05:14.274
we have it here on the screen so it can do a ton of things and it's really, really easy to use.

00:05:14.615 --> 00:05:23.464
step one is that you sign up for it and if you already sign up, step two is just to sign in and then the system loads up and then you can do a lot of different things.

00:05:24.394 --> 00:05:25.834
is it free to sign up?

00:05:26.464 --> 00:05:28.294
The signup is for free.

00:05:29.074 --> 00:05:38.944
And I wanna keep it for free, the basic functionality, but obviously for certain functions functionality, I need to charge money because it costs me money too, right?

00:05:39.365 --> 00:05:45.514
For example, you can create shipping labels in the system, so obviously you have to pay for the shipping labels, right?

00:05:46.084 --> 00:05:51.784
If you want to get better rates on your shipping la uh, labels, then you need to upgrade to a different farm tier.

00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:57.740
But compared to all the tools I'm using in business, the pricing is actually pretty moderate.

00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:03.259
And, uh, we are looking actively right a sponsor as well to make sure we can keep it free forever.

00:06:03.694 --> 00:06:04.024
tier.

00:06:04.925 --> 00:06:16.745
So all those functions we see here on the left in the main area to track your egg production, uh, where you can log much you collect your hedge tracking bird inventory, and on all those.

00:06:17.449 --> 00:06:17.959
For free.

00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:18.979
And we'll stay for free.

00:06:19.979 --> 00:06:20.279
And yeah.

00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:25.449
So under, it doesn't everything you do daily business Under bird inventory.

00:06:25.449 --> 00:06:27.219
Can you separate it by color?

00:06:28.089 --> 00:06:28.930
Oh, yes, you can.

00:06:28.930 --> 00:06:32.889
And uh, so I've, right now in this tracking here, I only have in here.

00:06:33.250 --> 00:06:37.569
But I could add a batch and say, okay, I have fears.

00:06:37.569 --> 00:06:38.379
I'm Egyptian.

00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.839
I recently hatched some Egyptian from somebody I know.

00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:43.560
Great hatch rate.

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:44.339
Thank you for that.

00:06:44.819 --> 00:06:48.974
I can, but what is cool, I can also put in an estimate for the daily food consumption.

00:06:49.334 --> 00:06:53.594
because it, the system can warn you when you run out of food and it happens.

00:06:53.714 --> 00:06:57.615
I think it happened to all of us at some stage that we were run running low on food.

00:06:57.615 --> 00:06:58.469
For the eighties.

00:06:58.990 --> 00:07:09.310
I can also put in which location they're in, so I keep a bit organized and we have here different statuses as well in case I sell them later, or I have them processed, I can retire them in here.

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.560
But for now, those birds, for example, are alive and let's assume they hatch today, for example.

00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.089
So I can put that here in the system and then it tracks their age.

00:07:20.050 --> 00:07:24.039
And I really, that's the main question everybody has, how many birds you got, right?

00:07:24.139 --> 00:07:26.240
some people lose track of it a little bit.

00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:29.539
With this, you don't lose track of it anymore, how many birds you have to feed.

00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.349
And then if you put in your feed inventory, you keep basically, track on how much feed you buy.

00:07:35.769 --> 00:07:40.079
And you can basically, see here in the feed management and forecasting.

00:07:40.485 --> 00:07:44.865
How many days of feed you have remaining, so that helped.

00:07:44.865 --> 00:07:45.104
That's neat.

00:07:45.854 --> 00:07:51.935
And based on that, in the next version, I probably might make a reminder which pops up on your screen, Hey, you're running low.

00:07:51.935 --> 00:07:56.745
You should, head to the store now the local feed dealer of your choice.

00:07:56.805 --> 00:07:58.004
And, get some more.

00:07:58.584 --> 00:08:02.064
if we inputted how much feed I go through, it might break your app.

00:08:02.764 --> 00:08:03.334
Let's try.

00:08:04.334 --> 00:08:08.909
I test, I tested it here for a few thousand pounds, so we do have space here.

00:08:09.909 --> 00:08:10.360
Okay, good.

00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.969
Because I was gonna say 50 pounds, man, that's that's.

00:08:13.044 --> 00:08:15.354
A third of what I use in a day.

00:08:15.834 --> 00:08:17.454
That's probably what you got in a day.

00:08:17.814 --> 00:08:19.954
And, that's the cool thing about the system.

00:08:19.954 --> 00:08:21.094
It grows with you.

00:08:21.094 --> 00:08:27.634
if somebody's watching right now and you order their first dozen of hatching eggs, I started five years ago, right?

00:08:28.064 --> 00:08:31.745
I hatched out 12 eggs, had a 50% hatch rate.

00:08:32.115 --> 00:08:35.925
it's for those people, but it's also for those people who have thousands of birds.

00:08:36.024 --> 00:08:39.284
you can manage small and big, It has all the tools in there.

00:08:39.654 --> 00:08:48.044
for me it's for example, interesting the time tracking to see how much time I spent on, processing the birds or doing maintenance and things like that.

00:08:48.044 --> 00:08:50.245
So I can, add a time lock.

00:08:50.245 --> 00:08:52.195
You can do that on your mobile phone as well.

00:08:52.884 --> 00:08:56.485
So the same you see here, I can bring up here my mobile phone.

00:08:56.565 --> 00:08:58.695
let me check if it pops up on screen.

00:08:58.754 --> 00:08:59.294
Oh, it does.

00:09:00.164 --> 00:09:03.014
So once you have it, installed on your phone.

00:09:03.715 --> 00:09:06.325
The basic functions then are available there.

00:09:06.685 --> 00:09:14.485
Let me just, too many apps, but, there's a app for everything and now there's a app where you can manage your block, but also keep track of what you're doing.

00:09:14.514 --> 00:09:18.995
And here, Qualo has installed on the actual, mobile phone.

00:09:19.144 --> 00:09:24.245
Looks good as well, A little bit on a small screen, but the basic functions are here too.

00:09:24.904 --> 00:09:29.074
And if I just quickly wanna, log x, I click in here and say, okay.

00:09:29.674 --> 00:09:33.705
I just collected now 20 XA huge amount.

00:09:33.835 --> 00:09:34.254
why not?

00:09:34.615 --> 00:09:41.105
I can make notes and say, oh, it was freezing today, so it's probably just gonna be freezing here in Jersey.

00:09:41.455 --> 00:09:41.845
that's it.

00:09:42.845 --> 00:09:43.159
Here we go.

00:09:43.340 --> 00:09:43.894
Ah, okay.

00:09:44.345 --> 00:09:44.644
Sorry.

00:09:44.644 --> 00:09:49.205
When you control your mobile phone from your computer, it's sometimes a little messy, but here it's Yes.

00:09:49.904 --> 00:09:50.235
Yeah.

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.429
It has a, a ton of functionality built in.

00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:56.370
what I like is that you can have your customers in here as well.

00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.740
my customer list here is huge, as you can tell.

00:09:59.850 --> 00:10:07.830
But the cool thing is if you want an option to quickly contact your customer, we do have a text messaging model.

00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:13.319
And so if you have the phone number of your customer in here, you have this little bubble.

00:10:13.350 --> 00:10:18.259
If you enable the text messaging, because a lot of people who start out of quail.

00:10:19.205 --> 00:10:21.605
They might not have a separate number for their business.

00:10:21.605 --> 00:10:39.264
I like to keep private and business separate, I, this number in here is not my private number, that's my business number, And so you could also sign up and get your own business number, and then you can send text messages right here from the app as well, and say, okay, hey, got extracts, want some, or whatever it might be, Something.

00:10:39.894 --> 00:10:42.355
You want to quickly contact the customer about it.

00:10:42.404 --> 00:10:51.465
if your shipment is delayed because you're still waiting for X or whatever it might be, you can just do it right out of the app here to a single customer.

00:10:51.465 --> 00:11:00.944
But you also have the option that you have that synchronized and you have a distribution list so you can send a hundred text messages to your customer.

00:11:01.634 --> 00:11:04.245
The reason why I put in text messages is.

00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:56.480
There's not really a spam filter for text messages other than on your mobile phone operator level.

00:11:57.060 --> 00:12:02.909
text messages are usually seen by, by people much quicker than emails because who is checking their email all the time.

00:12:03.299 --> 00:12:06.629
But if you get a text message to your mobile phone, you might see quicker.

00:12:06.629 --> 00:12:10.350
So it also has a bit of marketing tools filled in here.

00:12:10.710 --> 00:12:15.090
So we all, we all have that every once in a while we sit on a ton of eggs.

00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:32.945
So wouldn't it be great to have a quick functionality to contact your main customers for eating eggs and just, very quickly send out a couple of text messages with, instead of doing that on your phone, you can do it from your business number right here in interface and it helps you to get your X sold, for example.

00:12:33.644 --> 00:12:36.705
Can you segment your list, your customer list there?

00:12:36.914 --> 00:12:39.975
Yeah, that's possible in the text messaging application.

00:12:40.215 --> 00:12:42.075
That one is actually really powerful.

00:12:42.125 --> 00:12:46.945
I would need another, at least half an hour, hour just to show that what that can do.

00:12:47.404 --> 00:12:51.514
but it's integrated here as well, so yes, you have a ton of different functionalities there.

00:12:51.514 --> 00:12:51.634
Gotcha.

00:12:52.335 --> 00:12:54.585
It even has birthday reminders and things like that.

00:12:55.284 --> 00:12:55.495
Yeah.

00:12:55.495 --> 00:13:03.435
The cool thing is, if you think about it, you start out a business and let's say you get your first customer and it's like a little store down the road.

00:13:03.435 --> 00:13:07.125
You sell them meeting X every week and they say, I need an invoice.

00:13:07.185 --> 00:13:10.274
So now you need a software which can do invoices, right?

00:13:10.965 --> 00:13:13.455
So that's why we have the sales orders in here.

00:13:13.514 --> 00:13:16.245
I can quickly create a new sales order.

00:13:16.245 --> 00:13:17.595
I select my customer.

00:13:17.715 --> 00:13:18.975
I have so many in here.

00:13:19.514 --> 00:13:22.065
I put in the items from my inventory.

00:13:22.664 --> 00:13:25.004
Let's say I sell those guys some whole birds.

00:13:25.705 --> 00:13:28.315
It has the option here for tax and shipping and all that.

00:13:28.585 --> 00:13:30.924
And I can say, is it already completed?

00:13:30.924 --> 00:13:32.004
Is it not completed?

00:13:32.065 --> 00:13:32.725
Hands on.

00:13:33.384 --> 00:13:36.955
I can save that order and I can instantly print that, out here as well.

00:13:36.985 --> 00:13:39.205
So this one I just did that.

00:13:39.904 --> 00:13:40.730
Click the print button.

00:13:41.430 --> 00:13:47.820
And then with your actual farm's logo and your address, you have an invoice ready for that customer.

00:13:48.029 --> 00:13:49.230
So it's very easy as well.

00:13:49.230 --> 00:13:50.220
And you can keep track.

00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.379
Did they pay you already or is it still open?

00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:57.950
So very, very easy, for a farm to quickly make an invoice for one of their customers.

00:13:57.980 --> 00:13:58.340
Right?

00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:00.320
Does it take money?

00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:02.129
it doesn't do repayment yet.

00:14:02.955 --> 00:14:10.075
But that's something we, we, I'm thinking about, integrating in the future as well that you can take payments right on Qualo as well.

00:14:10.075 --> 00:14:10.375
Yeah.

00:14:11.075 --> 00:14:17.855
And most people have Venmo or have other options, but definitely the cool thing about Qualo, it's community driven.

00:14:17.855 --> 00:14:19.065
So if, any of the.

00:14:19.764 --> 00:14:23.154
People using the application have a great idea.

00:14:23.514 --> 00:14:29.565
They can submit the idea and, I look at it and if it's a good idea, then we're gonna do it.

00:14:29.664 --> 00:14:30.264
So that's done.

00:14:30.264 --> 00:14:39.695
Actually down here we have a roadmap, and that roadmap is not, for my yearly camping trips in the summertime where I like to visit other farms.

00:14:39.815 --> 00:14:43.414
But road map is, 40, ideas what people have.

00:14:44.149 --> 00:14:55.330
Bring up and you see there's some ideas, for example, text messaging for hatch reminders either for yourself or for your customers, shipping integrations for your online store, For example.

00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:57.200
All kinds of, different options.

00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.644
And here I publicly show what people have submitted.

00:15:01.345 --> 00:15:02.695
And in what stage it is.

00:15:03.384 --> 00:15:08.185
And, if you have a great idea, you can go on help and support and request a feature in here.

00:15:08.725 --> 00:15:19.985
So if you, that's the cool thing as well because, there's of course a lot of apps out there you can do, manage your flock or there's apps out there for shipping and there's apps out there for accounting.

00:15:20.615 --> 00:15:26.825
But to have everything in one app, that's pretty cool because you don't have multiple apps to manage.

00:15:27.350 --> 00:15:29.560
You can do all in one, in one application.

00:15:29.560 --> 00:15:42.430
So that's keeps it neat, simple, and if you need help, you just open up a support ticket and, get back to you and help you out if you have a question about the application or anything like that, That's a very simple system.

00:15:42.430 --> 00:15:48.129
I think, the navigation, I want to keep it clean because I've seen a lot of apps in the past.

00:15:48.250 --> 00:15:52.210
I don't like it that things are sometimes so small on the screen that you barely can read it.

00:15:53.095 --> 00:15:56.245
Yes, you could zoom in here if you wanted to, if you want it even bigger.

00:15:56.825 --> 00:16:08.735
but the cool thing is yes, you use it on your phone, you use it on your tablet, you use it on your computer, so it always keeps the same data on your fingertips and it gets really cool if it comes to shipping.

00:16:08.735 --> 00:16:15.325
So it's just gonna switch over to my test environment here and, has a ton of functionality.

00:16:15.475 --> 00:16:19.794
But the shipping is really cool because it has something absolutely new, nobody.

00:16:20.495 --> 00:16:21.365
Has that yet.

00:16:21.875 --> 00:16:28.445
I came up with it by talking to people and based on my own experiences, and I'm gonna show you real quick what it does.

00:16:28.445 --> 00:16:38.024
So once you have a customer in your system, you have the option to select a customer in here, and then you prepare your shipping like you do in any other shipping app, right?

00:16:38.625 --> 00:16:46.154
But what you can do before you even create a label or look at the rates, you can do a risk check on that specific address.

00:16:47.144 --> 00:16:51.185
And we all had our, issues in the past.

00:16:51.185 --> 00:16:58.924
If you think about, certain people buying on eBay or other platforms, I had a few people trying to scam me.

00:16:59.825 --> 00:17:11.345
And so this risk assessment basically is community driven and you can maintain a list, which is a good ag or a bad ag list, right?

00:17:12.125 --> 00:17:15.454
And so you can on every address, do such a check.

00:17:15.454 --> 00:17:24.365
we won't have data of every single address, obviously, but what it does here, it shows you if any other farm using the system, had a bad experience with that buyer.

00:17:24.724 --> 00:17:25.055
Right?

00:17:25.504 --> 00:17:32.404
For example, a chargeback, if you think about it, a chargeback on the online store costs you about 45,$50.

00:17:32.404 --> 00:17:33.095
If somebody.

00:17:33.154 --> 00:17:37.325
It says, for whatever reason, oh, I only got a 50% hatch rate.

00:17:37.325 --> 00:17:38.825
I go, I'm not gonna pay you.

00:17:38.825 --> 00:17:41.825
I want, call my credit card company and want the money back.

00:17:41.825 --> 00:17:42.125
Right?

00:17:42.664 --> 00:17:43.984
We don't like that very much.

00:17:43.984 --> 00:17:47.184
I guess anybody selling act doesn't really like things like that.

00:17:47.934 --> 00:17:56.154
And so with the risk assessment, you can access and see is this a good buyer or is it a bad buyer, or is it a neutral?

00:17:56.454 --> 00:17:56.845
Right?

00:17:56.964 --> 00:17:58.134
Can be neutral as well.

00:17:58.704 --> 00:18:01.044
So in this case, let's say it's good.

00:18:01.855 --> 00:18:12.805
Let's see, if I change my address here to another house, number 13, very unlucky number, and I do the, again, that unlucky number really shows uhoh.

00:18:13.224 --> 00:18:21.174
this guy here at this address is actually listed in my own farm as a bad act, and two other farms listed it as a bad egg as well.

00:18:22.075 --> 00:18:28.464
So I might think twice if I ship something to those guys or not, because if two other farms already said, oh, that that buyer.

00:18:29.164 --> 00:18:29.944
Be careful.

00:18:30.424 --> 00:18:33.904
It could be that their mailing address was not available.

00:18:33.904 --> 00:18:35.585
I had that couple of times.

00:18:35.615 --> 00:18:53.289
It's always nice, especially in the summertime, summer or springtime, if you send out some hatching acts, they go to the destination and then they come all the way back and then they stink up your mailbox because they travel twice the distance and, we're not, Delivered on time because the address was completely wrong.

00:18:53.289 --> 00:18:56.170
What the customer gave you happened to me multiple times.

00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:06.190
So now I can add that address into my risk management tab here, and then it's warning me the next time across all my different online stores.

00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:06.609
Right.

00:19:07.269 --> 00:19:09.700
So do you do that in the customer profile?

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:11.170
You mark'em as good or bad?

00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:13.210
Yeah, it's, pretty easy.

00:19:13.210 --> 00:19:18.069
I show you over here and the risk management tab, it lets you decide.

00:19:18.769 --> 00:19:21.769
If you wanna share it with the community or not.

00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.940
And you have here your good ex and you have your bad ex, right?

00:19:26.849 --> 00:19:31.140
so if you decide to share it, it's anonymously.

00:19:31.620 --> 00:19:36.900
So obviously we won't tell the other firm that it's specifically on your list.

00:19:36.900 --> 00:19:37.230
Right.

00:19:37.650 --> 00:19:37.950
Right.

00:19:38.005 --> 00:19:39.384
Christmas is coming up, right?

00:19:39.384 --> 00:19:44.055
So it's a little bit like, you know, he's making a list and he checks it twice and you can do the same.

00:19:44.404 --> 00:19:49.315
so if you get on the bad central list, you can just add an address in here, with the zip code.

00:19:49.315 --> 00:19:51.894
So we don't really store any personal data.

00:19:51.894 --> 00:19:54.924
We just, store public data, which is an address, right?

00:19:55.595 --> 00:19:57.365
you can do that here for your own farm.

00:19:57.875 --> 00:20:00.335
You can import your customers to the good at list.

00:20:00.890 --> 00:20:03.059
So that you don't have to enter them all manually.

00:20:03.059 --> 00:20:07.980
You can just pull them in from your customer tab and you can decide to share that with other farms.

00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:15.180
So you help protecting other businesses as well, and you benefit from the other farms sharing the bad eggs with you as well.

00:20:15.210 --> 00:20:15.509
Right?

00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:26.039
There's Facebook groups who do this kind of stuff, but let's face it, who has time to look at Facebook when before you ship a order, if there's anybody listed as a bad egg?

00:20:26.819 --> 00:20:27.599
not so easy.

00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:31.500
So here you can, Manage that for your own farm, but you have the option to share it.

00:20:31.500 --> 00:20:36.150
And of course, as more farms do that as safer the system gets, right?

00:20:36.849 --> 00:20:38.380
So very new function.

00:20:38.710 --> 00:20:39.970
I think that's pretty neat.

00:20:39.970 --> 00:20:42.839
I mean, most breeders or sellers have their.

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:46.769
Ways of keeping up with good eggs or bad eggs.

00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:47.009
Mm-hmm.

00:20:47.289 --> 00:20:50.650
I think we all, some of us have longer lists than others.

00:20:50.650 --> 00:20:53.964
Mine isn't very long because I have a short memory, but Yeah.

00:20:54.234 --> 00:20:55.059
Yeah, yeah.

00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:56.500
that's pretty nifty.

00:20:56.500 --> 00:20:56.710
Okay.

00:20:56.710 --> 00:20:58.269
Go back to your shipping thing.

00:20:58.539 --> 00:20:58.630
Yeah.

00:20:58.660 --> 00:21:00.099
So your shipping rates.

00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:01.779
Let's talk about your shipping rates.

00:21:01.990 --> 00:21:02.079
Sure.

00:21:02.230 --> 00:21:05.880
I just put in a, Any address right now, I just put in one of a friend.

00:21:06.309 --> 00:21:09.099
the shipping rates, it's pretty straightforward.

00:21:09.099 --> 00:21:13.870
You can, click here, get rates, and you see the actual rates for that specific package here.

00:21:14.220 --> 00:21:18.370
what was really cool as well, before we get to the rates, is, the destination weather.

00:21:18.370 --> 00:21:21.609
That's something also, which is gonna be released this week.

00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:25.089
So what you see now, you're the first to see that.

00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:31.279
That's, and I believe this is the first shipping software who actually considers the weather.

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:35.329
And I get that from, the national, Noah.

00:21:35.380 --> 00:21:40.299
from proper people who know how, hopefully know how the weather is gonna be.

00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:43.829
you have here a seven day forecast at the time of shipping.

00:21:44.549 --> 00:21:54.089
So that's great when you do live bird shipping, but also for hatching X, you wanna check, okay, is it gonna be freezing at the destination when I ship it out?

00:21:54.089 --> 00:21:56.190
Texas here, for example, it looks good.

00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:57.870
It's not gonna be freezing.

00:21:57.870 --> 00:21:58.170
Okay.

00:21:58.170 --> 00:22:03.309
I ship it out and those rates, they are pull, pulled in automatically from the shipping carrier.

00:22:04.089 --> 00:22:09.539
I still have to negotiate with one of them, but right now we have, USPS and UPS in there.

00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:11.250
FedEx will be added as well.

00:22:12.224 --> 00:22:17.019
And then you select here the best rate, you wanna have for that specific package.

00:22:17.049 --> 00:22:17.380
Right?

00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.500
you can look at our rate card here and, we have it here as well.

00:22:23.250 --> 00:22:32.799
So there, it shows you all the, and sorry, this is the test system right now, so it might not show everything right now, but it'll show you all the zones here.

00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.625
there's only a couple of shipping zone overall, and with the weight.

00:22:36.325 --> 00:22:41.454
And then, you can go down or you can select Here, show me only priority mail, for example.

00:22:42.144 --> 00:22:48.654
And if there is a change of shipping rates the postal service likes to do twice a year, this will update automatically as well.

00:22:49.315 --> 00:22:51.595
Yeah, and depend on your farm tier.

00:22:51.944 --> 00:22:53.745
you are Bronze Farm.

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:59.910
Silver, gold, or diamond that decides on your shipping rate, you get, you can, preview it here, so we'll see.

00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:00.329
Okay.

00:23:00.630 --> 00:23:11.440
If you, you're willing to pay a small monthly fee and you get better shipping rates, so it's great for farms when they grow, that they can say, okay, I start off as a free farm.

00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:12.910
I don't pay any monthly fees.

00:23:12.910 --> 00:23:15.009
I just pay when I need the shipping label.

00:23:15.970 --> 00:23:16.509
That's it.

00:23:16.509 --> 00:23:21.309
But then once you, your business grows, you can upgrade and get better shipping, rates here as well.

00:23:22.309 --> 00:23:27.880
And yeah, it's straightforward and then you just, create your label in here and that's it.

00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:32.390
So if I go back here to my shipping screen, there's a little ship.

00:23:33.089 --> 00:23:34.289
Pull it up one more time.

00:23:34.769 --> 00:23:36.839
I just make a funny package there.

00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:37.349
nice.

00:23:37.349 --> 00:23:38.099
Here is not good.

00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:38.849
Here we go.

00:23:39.569 --> 00:23:42.059
So you check your rates, you need to have a shipping balance.

00:23:42.059 --> 00:23:43.980
So I already have a balance in here.

00:23:43.980 --> 00:23:45.269
You could top it up here.

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.305
So this is a paid function, obviously, because the labels need to get paid.

00:23:50.115 --> 00:23:51.525
I can buy that label now.

00:23:52.224 --> 00:24:00.005
Really, I wanted to keep the screen clean as well, because there's a lot of shipping software out there where it's very complicated to use it.

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:02.230
And I wanted to keep it simple.

00:24:02.230 --> 00:24:03.430
So here's now my label.

00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:12.509
Obviously that's a sample here, but I could print it then straight away on my label printer has your address on it and all done.

00:24:12.509 --> 00:24:14.849
And then it actually saves it down here as well.

00:24:15.809 --> 00:24:19.529
So in case you made a mistake and you need to void that label, you can do it.

00:24:20.470 --> 00:24:23.319
another thing is we actually save the weather data.

00:24:24.049 --> 00:24:24.620
know exactly.

00:24:24.620 --> 00:24:24.920
Okay.

00:24:24.950 --> 00:24:27.829
How was the weather forecast at the time when you ship that?

00:24:28.370 --> 00:24:30.470
Okay, this one was getting pretty cold here.

00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:31.220
Okay.

00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:39.829
So you have that information later on as well in case the customer comes back to you with a complaint or anything, you can look it up how the weather was at their address.

00:24:40.819 --> 00:24:51.559
And another cool functionality is that you can send the tracking number, if you have the text messaging enabled here, you can send that tracking number straight to the mobile phone of your customer.

00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:54.980
So it's not doing an email like everybody does.

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:59.390
It actually sends a text message because I get a lot of emails every day.

00:24:59.900 --> 00:25:03.410
I try to read them all, but some might fall through the cracks.

00:25:03.859 --> 00:25:06.609
But if I get a text message, I usually read it straight away.

00:25:07.120 --> 00:25:14.230
And so this click the button and if I would have not a little issue what I'm fixing right now here in this environment, it would send the message.

00:25:14.930 --> 00:25:16.730
But that's how it is on my test environment.

00:25:17.430 --> 00:25:21.565
So yeah, a lot of functionality building and can, yeah.

00:25:21.809 --> 00:25:25.259
Can I import from my website to print the label there?

00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:27.599
That's something I'm developing right now.

00:25:27.789 --> 00:25:32.519
right now I do eBay, I do Shopify and then there will be.

00:25:32.894 --> 00:25:37.335
All those other shop systems, Etsy and Wix and Square.

00:25:37.755 --> 00:25:43.154
So that's all needs to be developed, but the look and feel will be very similar as it is here.

00:25:43.694 --> 00:25:47.825
Obviously, you're gonna just select, one of your online orders, right?

00:25:48.424 --> 00:25:56.404
So we have, it's already in development right now, and it will be updated into the actual software in the next couple of weeks.

00:25:56.404 --> 00:26:00.454
I, I never released something where I'm not a hundred percent sure it's working.

00:26:00.454 --> 00:26:06.575
So I test it first myself, have some other people testing it, and then it's being released for everybody.

00:26:07.275 --> 00:26:11.115
And so the, the system is actively being developed.

00:26:11.115 --> 00:26:17.174
So that's a nice thing as well because a lot of those apps you find online, nobody's doing with it.

00:26:17.224 --> 00:26:21.424
the developer kind of gave up and doesn't really improve the system anymore.

00:26:22.055 --> 00:26:26.944
So this is always growing and I release it now with the basic functionality.

00:26:27.335 --> 00:26:32.650
But obviously heavy duty users like you who have different online stores and all that.

00:26:33.259 --> 00:26:40.829
If you wanna be able to configure that and have a smooth kind of, transition, maybe put your existing shipping software to the curb.

00:26:41.380 --> 00:26:43.690
so that's being developed right now.

00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:45.990
it's not, not ready yet to show.

00:26:46.690 --> 00:26:52.745
So another thing that I do that Some people won't even realize it's done, is I use.

00:26:53.470 --> 00:26:56.440
A lot of different shipped from addresses.

00:26:56.539 --> 00:27:03.769
Some things are shipped from me, some things are shipped from Brian's roost, from egg foam, from just whatever.

00:27:03.819 --> 00:27:07.329
So can I do multiple shipped from addresses?

00:27:07.630 --> 00:27:07.900
Yeah.

00:27:07.900 --> 00:27:09.339
That will be possible as well.

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:10.180
Okay.

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:14.660
right now with the basic, settings you have just this, in the settings.

00:27:14.690 --> 00:27:20.450
You can configure this one in here, but, on the roadmap, we already have something.

00:27:21.299 --> 00:27:28.890
Which is allowing multiple farm addresses, but also I wanna foster the cooperation between farms.

00:27:28.890 --> 00:27:34.789
And as, as you know, with Unica, I have a network of farms and, where we help each other out as well.

00:27:34.789 --> 00:27:41.190
Or basically, Unica acts kind of the, the hub and many farms are shipping eggs for un.

00:27:41.890 --> 00:27:46.000
So we have right now 14 different ship from addresses, right?

00:27:46.099 --> 00:27:54.920
Because, the way we do it is when we get an order on Amazon or any other platform, then we look, are these eggs available somehow close to the customer?

00:27:55.519 --> 00:28:00.319
And based on that, we choose which farm is shipping it and which ship from address we are using.

00:28:00.710 --> 00:28:02.990
Right now, I'm using a different software for that.

00:28:02.990 --> 00:28:05.089
Then I pay$140 a month for that.

00:28:05.789 --> 00:28:10.880
Without even being, without even making a single label, I pay$140 with that software.

00:28:11.420 --> 00:28:16.549
So obviously my goal is to, one of the first things I wanna do now is to replace that software.

00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:20.579
So it will come in here as well, that you can have multiple ship, addresses.

00:28:21.490 --> 00:28:28.359
but you also have the option to say, okay, I wanna assign this order now to a different farm because I don't have this kind of acts, but.

00:28:29.045 --> 00:28:32.855
we do work together and basically it's a little bit like drop shipping.

00:28:33.365 --> 00:28:33.454
Mm-hmm.

00:28:34.085 --> 00:28:36.125
We'll have that functionality built in as well.

00:28:36.245 --> 00:28:36.515
Yeah.

00:28:37.214 --> 00:28:40.775
Well, I have two things that I've noticed while you were talking.

00:28:41.105 --> 00:28:41.194
Mm-hmm.

00:28:41.434 --> 00:28:50.525
And one is, first of all, thank you because, it's nice to support other farms versus just big conglomerates.

00:28:50.615 --> 00:28:50.734
Mm-hmm.

00:28:51.734 --> 00:29:11.194
And second of all, for people just getting started, me and you have the wisdom of several years of growing and growing in a way that the Indus, the computer industry isn't really built for, almost have to push through to a degree and.

00:29:11.894 --> 00:29:22.095
For somebody just getting started, this sounds like it would grow with them versus us having to piecemeal we've been doing for several years.

00:29:22.634 --> 00:29:23.384
Exactly.

00:29:23.384 --> 00:29:24.720
Yeah, that's the thing.

00:29:25.069 --> 00:29:37.650
I wasted so much money on different software, packages in the past because Okay, I want, you do QuickBooks for accounting and then you do the shipping software and then you do.

00:29:38.125 --> 00:29:52.275
some other tracking stuff all those subscriptions they add up, even now till today, I still have a few left and I, as I develop more in qualo SI can replace these solutions instead of paying several hundred dollars month.

00:29:52.815 --> 00:29:55.125
Just for the software I need to run my business.

00:29:55.694 --> 00:29:57.075
it's only at your fingertips.

00:29:57.075 --> 00:29:57.704
Exactly.

00:29:58.105 --> 00:30:02.755
I wrote about that in my book, which I released now as well, which is in here, in the library.

00:30:03.055 --> 00:30:11.694
And all this wisdom is coming in here now as well with different guides and things like that in the library so people can read things.

00:30:11.694 --> 00:30:14.605
We, I will have different use cases.

00:30:14.704 --> 00:30:17.644
Know, how do I sell Balut X, for example?

00:30:17.694 --> 00:30:19.825
I have sold them, I've sold them even online.

00:30:20.255 --> 00:30:27.045
I still do that, or a little how to videos, but it's not really aimed at, very new beginners.

00:30:27.634 --> 00:30:33.974
any, anybody who is already, After that stage, okay, I've hatched my first X, now I wanna put that into a business.

00:30:33.974 --> 00:30:34.815
What is next?

00:30:34.865 --> 00:30:45.055
And something which happened for me in the beginning as well was I was flying totally blind, And I did not know, do I actually make any money with this?

00:30:45.055 --> 00:30:47.194
When I first started, I was okay.

00:30:47.704 --> 00:30:53.015
I, I just wanted to have some eggs for myself, and then it was growing into a business.

00:30:53.015 --> 00:30:57.035
I, I was not setting out buying quail eggs to do a quail business.

00:30:57.035 --> 00:30:58.339
This I gotcha.

00:30:58.684 --> 00:30:59.525
I understand.

00:31:00.484 --> 00:31:05.960
We, we, we should have a therapy group for people who accidentally ended up with a quail business, I guess.

00:31:06.140 --> 00:31:06.589
Exactly.

00:31:06.710 --> 00:31:13.140
and one of my first challenges was to prove to my wife that we actually make money with that, because she is are you, are you.

00:31:13.664 --> 00:31:15.914
it was kind of a conversation are you insane?

00:31:15.914 --> 00:31:19.245
You are leaving your IT chop to make money with Qua X.

00:31:20.055 --> 00:31:20.444
Yep.

00:31:20.924 --> 00:31:25.605
And we had that conversation three years ago and I was yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing.

00:31:26.125 --> 00:31:32.079
I wish I would've had something like this reporting, feature here where I can actually show the numbers.

00:31:32.384 --> 00:31:32.595
Okay.

00:31:32.595 --> 00:31:34.095
How many, how much?

00:31:34.950 --> 00:31:42.120
Sales we had, how many expenses I had obviously in this demo account here, it looks a bit not that great right now here.

00:31:42.170 --> 00:31:46.910
but I wanna be able to tell, okay, how many eggs I gonna get over the next couple of days.

00:31:46.910 --> 00:31:59.150
I actually built in a forecasting as well, So you can say, okay, based on the eggs I collected in the last 12 weeks, I wanna have a forecast how many eggs I gonna collect next week.

00:31:59.509 --> 00:32:03.049
So it, it has this prediction in here as well and all this reporting.

00:32:03.049 --> 00:32:07.039
Or if I wanna see how is my hatching going this year so far?

00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:11.690
I can look at all the hatches I had this year and see them here in comparison.

00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:17.779
Obviously, again, this is not real data because I hatched a few more times than just two times here or three times here.

00:32:18.170 --> 00:32:24.569
But you get the idea, with the, with the demo data in installed, or you said earlier on, how much feed did I actually use?

00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:29.845
It shows you here as well, How much feet was used in that specific timeframe.

00:32:30.684 --> 00:32:34.795
If you track that, if you're interested, or how much sales do I have and all these things.

00:32:35.075 --> 00:32:40.430
even if you are, start out as a hobby and your husband or your wife and, whatever the.

00:32:41.130 --> 00:32:42.870
You wanna prove to the other side?

00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:43.230
Yeah.

00:32:43.230 --> 00:32:45.029
Look, we make money with quail.

00:32:45.089 --> 00:32:47.700
Here is the numbers because you entered everything.

00:32:48.029 --> 00:32:53.400
Each time you spent some money, each time you made some money, you put it in there and then it's at your fingertips.

00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:55.950
And you can say, yeah, we actually do make some money on this.

00:32:55.950 --> 00:33:00.120
And over time it tells you, okay, what is my top product, for example, right?

00:33:00.569 --> 00:33:02.220
So a lot of, options in here.

00:33:02.250 --> 00:33:03.210
For me, it's important.

00:33:03.210 --> 00:33:04.799
How much time do I spend on it?

00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:05.849
For example, I see.

00:33:06.434 --> 00:33:11.714
I spend a lot of time with feeding, maybe not as, not as much time on, on actually cleaning.

00:33:11.984 --> 00:33:13.815
Maybe I should be the other way around.

00:33:14.164 --> 00:33:15.865
I look out there, maybe it should.

00:33:16.345 --> 00:33:18.924
so it's just, helping people.

00:33:19.420 --> 00:33:25.990
Once they get started or if they're already in business, to kind of streamline the business a bit and have actual numbers there.

00:33:26.470 --> 00:33:32.019
'cause when you look online on those different Facebook groups, the people always ask, what do I sell?

00:33:32.180 --> 00:33:33.980
how much should I charge for my ex?

00:33:33.980 --> 00:33:35.599
Or How much do you sell a bird?

00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:36.680
And all these things.

00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:38.870
And here is your answers.

00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:41.779
Once you know how much time you spend on.

00:33:42.095 --> 00:34:02.835
Actually hatching and, caring for your quail, you get a bit of better sense how much you can charge for your ex, for example, So there's a, a lot of tools in there and, and with input from people like you and others, it'll grow and we will add on more and more functionality, which helps people to get into the business or to run their business.

00:34:03.535 --> 00:34:09.115
I could see that somebody just getting started, this would be super helpful.

00:34:09.355 --> 00:34:11.305
Yes, absolutely.

00:34:11.515 --> 00:34:15.925
Instead of just trying to use pencil and paper and spreadsheets.

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:22.289
Which is what we, this is what we tried to do, and I ended up with whiteboards and taking pictures of the whiteboards.

00:34:22.355 --> 00:34:23.175
We all did that.

00:34:23.495 --> 00:34:26.789
I have down here a couple of them still standing around.

00:34:26.789 --> 00:34:27.390
Exactly.

00:34:28.349 --> 00:34:30.030
Or, or really simple tasks as well.

00:34:30.030 --> 00:34:32.180
I, I mentioned earlier on the price list, So if you.

00:34:33.125 --> 00:34:40.085
If you are not good with computers and things like that, then not everybody's good with computers and that's fine and built in here as well.

00:34:40.085 --> 00:34:46.735
To make it simple for you to have a price, a price list here, I can say, okay, actually I sell some English white as well, for example.

00:34:47.184 --> 00:34:53.505
And you can put a price here per dozen or per single leg, depending how you make it, and you can save that.

00:34:53.505 --> 00:34:58.784
And you say, okay, I need a simple price list now, what I can give to customers, so you can just download it here.

00:34:59.484 --> 00:35:00.944
And, and here's your price list.

00:35:00.944 --> 00:35:10.324
So it has your business information on top, when it's valid from, and all the different things you're selling, And you can also download that as a picture, so you can share it on Facebook.

00:35:10.605 --> 00:35:17.054
some people might spend an hour to make a price list for their business here.

00:35:17.054 --> 00:35:17.984
It took how long?

00:35:18.224 --> 00:35:19.694
I don't know, 30 seconds.

00:35:20.054 --> 00:35:25.875
It's really easy, and I'll tell you something else, is that you make the price list in your head.

00:35:25.974 --> 00:35:28.464
And then you put it in notes on your phone.

00:35:28.565 --> 00:35:32.105
And then you tell people, and then you're what did I tell'em again?

00:35:32.105 --> 00:35:32.674
Exactly.

00:35:32.674 --> 00:35:34.984
So you're scrolling back through the messages and stuff.

00:35:35.164 --> 00:35:40.294
If it was all in one place like this, then it's, prepared answers, basically.

00:35:40.514 --> 00:35:43.094
So you always tell people the exact same thing.

00:35:43.144 --> 00:35:46.625
So if they come back and say, no, you said it was a dollar a dozen.

00:35:46.654 --> 00:35:48.044
You know that they're not telling you the truth.

00:35:48.449 --> 00:35:48.869
exactly.

00:35:49.209 --> 00:35:51.969
I learned that in my day job you have to standard answers.

00:35:51.969 --> 00:35:53.379
That's what I called it, standard answers.

00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:55.029
You have to have standard answers.

00:35:55.029 --> 00:35:58.000
That way when they come back and they're no, that's not what you said.

00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:58.869
You said this.

00:35:58.869 --> 00:36:01.869
You can go, yeah, I would never say that.

00:36:02.229 --> 00:36:04.034
You have it here on your fingertips.

00:36:04.254 --> 00:36:07.464
you can keep copies of those PDFs of this price list.

00:36:07.464 --> 00:36:09.954
So once you change your prices, you see that.

00:36:10.394 --> 00:36:13.844
the date stamp on it and say, oh yeah, the price list is from last year.

00:36:13.844 --> 00:36:14.234
Sorry.

00:36:14.634 --> 00:36:14.784
Okay.

00:36:14.784 --> 00:36:18.414
So there's a lot of, things built in, which does help with this kind of stuff.

00:36:18.984 --> 00:36:21.859
And, it's the same thing with vendors, for example.

00:36:22.319 --> 00:36:24.359
I buy on Amazon things for the business.

00:36:24.359 --> 00:36:31.479
I buy, local stores, hardware stores, tractor supply, so I can keep track here of my vendors as well if I want to.

00:36:32.319 --> 00:36:38.079
And at the end of the year, if I'm wondering with my profit and loss, so why is it a loss here?

00:36:38.739 --> 00:36:43.699
I can go and, drill into that a little bit and and see where do I spend my money on?

00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:55.759
And I can, when if I track it here in my, I can go back here into my reports and I see the vendor pur purchases, and I can see here if I have the data in here, of course.

00:36:56.284 --> 00:36:56.554
Okay.

00:36:56.554 --> 00:36:59.764
How much did I spend for the quail in, home Depot?

00:36:59.764 --> 00:37:02.824
How much I spend on Amazon for quail related stuff?

00:37:02.854 --> 00:37:04.529
How much egg form did I buy?

00:37:05.269 --> 00:37:05.689
Mm-hmm.

00:37:06.089 --> 00:37:09.344
how much I spend on, on hatching eggs or all that stuff.

00:37:09.434 --> 00:37:17.214
It'll tell you here as well, you have the data, you see exactly how often you order from somebody so you have that at your fingertips.

00:37:17.664 --> 00:37:23.514
And I think that's important because often people run a business without numbers.

00:37:24.369 --> 00:37:27.309
And then you wonder, why don't you make money with it, right?

00:37:27.309 --> 00:37:28.029
Mm-hmm.

00:37:28.089 --> 00:37:42.319
And I've seen that, and you for sure too over the years, there is quail businesses, but also in the chicken world or whatever, you see somebody popping up there and then a year later you don't hear anything anymore because Exactly.

00:37:42.319 --> 00:37:45.864
They went outta business because their numbers were not adding up.

00:37:45.864 --> 00:37:46.184
Right?

00:37:46.884 --> 00:37:50.719
And with, with that report functionality, it will just help.

00:37:51.500 --> 00:37:57.949
People hopefully to be successful, at least to be a little bit more informed about what, what's going on in their business.

00:37:57.949 --> 00:38:02.154
And well, and if you keep all your receipts in one place, your CPA will Thank you later.

00:38:02.604 --> 00:38:04.344
Oh yeah, that, that's a nice one.

00:38:04.764 --> 00:38:13.494
I already having the idea that you might have the option to give you a CP 80 access to the financial part of the application.

00:38:14.194 --> 00:38:21.909
So if they ask your, your accountant is doing your taxes, you could give them access and say, okay, get your data there.

00:38:21.959 --> 00:38:22.679
it's all in there.

00:38:23.489 --> 00:38:27.569
Well, if you could just download it into a spreadsheet or a pdf f Oh, yeah.

00:38:27.569 --> 00:38:28.409
Then is just email.

00:38:28.409 --> 00:38:30.854
I always email all that stuff, Yeah, you just email it.

00:38:30.854 --> 00:38:31.614
That's another option.

00:38:31.739 --> 00:38:32.219
exactly.

00:38:32.669 --> 00:38:38.054
That's a good point you're raising because the export thing is another thing, which I take very serious.

00:38:38.404 --> 00:38:44.434
we have that here on that specific page, but you can take out all your data in the data management.

00:38:45.064 --> 00:38:50.584
'cause I hate that if some apps don't allow that because demon kind of lock you in.

00:38:51.004 --> 00:38:51.154
Mm-hmm.

00:38:51.664 --> 00:38:55.574
But everything you put into qualo s is your data.

00:38:56.064 --> 00:39:01.074
how many chickens you got, how many quail you got, how many turkeys you got, how many eggs you produce.

00:39:01.074 --> 00:39:05.184
This is all your data, so you should have access to your data at any given time.

00:39:05.784 --> 00:39:13.404
And if you decide to that you don't wanna use that anymore, fine then, but you can at least get all your data you entered.

00:39:13.524 --> 00:39:20.664
You can export it right to your computer as a normal, CSV as a spreadsheet format.

00:39:20.664 --> 00:39:25.454
You can, Export it and take it anywhere else and or just keep it as a local backup.

00:39:25.724 --> 00:39:26.024
Right?

00:39:26.149 --> 00:39:26.500
Right.

00:39:26.564 --> 00:39:34.134
But that's for me, when I look for a software solution, I always look, okay, can I somehow back up my data?

00:39:34.134 --> 00:39:42.954
Because if I enter here now the entire year, every single day, how many eggs I collect, I wanna have that locally safe just in case.

00:39:43.194 --> 00:39:44.484
I don't wanna lose that data.

00:39:45.384 --> 00:39:49.894
Obviously this is all running in, on the, on the cloud infrastructure.

00:39:49.894 --> 00:39:54.094
There's backups and all these things, and it's, it's secure and encrypted.

00:39:54.544 --> 00:39:59.704
But just in case, in case you want to keep your data locally, you can export it here at any given time.

00:40:00.064 --> 00:40:05.784
And your time entering the data here is not wasted because you still have your data in any case.

00:40:06.139 --> 00:40:08.989
All right, well, let's, let's recap for just a second.

00:40:09.109 --> 00:40:10.879
So using it is free.

00:40:11.149 --> 00:40:11.629
That's right.

00:40:12.019 --> 00:40:21.019
But if you wanna start using the shipping part of it and get the better rates, that's where the cost starts coming in.

00:40:21.529 --> 00:40:22.039
That's it.

00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:22.549
That's right.

00:40:22.579 --> 00:40:23.059
Exactly.

00:40:23.059 --> 00:40:25.399
And it's really straightforward there as well.

00:40:25.479 --> 00:40:28.599
we have it in the settings page, but on the, on the main page as well.

00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:30.529
there's different subscriptions.

00:40:31.229 --> 00:40:36.914
The bronze tier, the, the data tier is free and will always stay free.

00:40:37.875 --> 00:40:38.625
crossing fingers.

00:40:38.625 --> 00:40:42.204
I'm waiting to hear back from a, from a sponsor, to keep that free.

00:40:42.264 --> 00:40:45.444
But that's the plan and that's not gonna change.

00:40:45.444 --> 00:40:46.614
We'll figure that out.

00:40:47.164 --> 00:40:52.174
and then there's different other tiers, silver, gold, and, and diamond with different features.

00:40:52.524 --> 00:40:54.024
with Golden, the environment.

00:40:54.024 --> 00:40:57.894
Actually, I do kind of a coaching call as well for people who want it.

00:40:58.375 --> 00:41:04.944
We do like a monthly business call where we look into different things, different questions and answers, right?

00:41:05.364 --> 00:41:09.114
How do I make labels for my doctorates I wanna sell?

00:41:09.114 --> 00:41:13.314
Or what are even requirements to sell on a farmer's market?

00:41:13.344 --> 00:41:15.164
Or, what about NPIP?

00:41:15.404 --> 00:41:18.344
All kinds of different things we can discuss on such a call.

00:41:19.094 --> 00:41:22.574
But the main difference is then better shipping rates as well.

00:41:22.904 --> 00:41:25.724
Or for example, what access you get here in the library.

00:41:26.364 --> 00:41:31.014
but it's really straightforward and compared to what other tools are costing.

00:41:31.014 --> 00:41:37.634
If you think about, QuickBooks, if you think about shipping software, if you think about, weather forecast is for free, okay?

00:41:38.625 --> 00:41:45.164
But if you think about how much it cost you, if somebody tries to scam you, right?

00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:46.359
with an order.

00:41:47.349 --> 00:41:56.369
it, this is in comparison actually, pretty cheap, yeah, but it, it helps to keep the platform running, obviously, with, running a software.

00:41:56.449 --> 00:42:01.939
there is cost with that, and so that helps here, but I try to keep it accessible for people.

00:42:02.489 --> 00:42:06.179
'cause I don't like it when things, I don't like it myself when things are so expensive, right?

00:42:06.234 --> 00:42:10.074
And it's not like I have a huge operation and a hundred people sitting behind me.

00:42:10.074 --> 00:42:10.674
I have to pay.

00:42:10.854 --> 00:42:11.154
Right.

00:42:11.964 --> 00:42:13.824
So I can, I can do it that way.

00:42:14.824 --> 00:42:15.394
All righty.

00:42:15.394 --> 00:42:16.294
Well, thank you.

00:42:16.294 --> 00:42:19.114
Well tell everybody where they can find you.

00:42:19.114 --> 00:42:20.764

00:42:21.464 --> 00:42:21.734
Yeah.

00:42:21.734 --> 00:42:26.184
The main website, Qualo s you find it, at qualo.com.

00:42:26.784 --> 00:42:29.274
And that's, that's the software and that's the newest project.

00:42:29.424 --> 00:42:29.814
Right.

00:42:30.264 --> 00:42:35.259
with all the experience I get from the last five years, for x people know where to go.

00:42:35.479 --> 00:42:36.349
that's, that's fine.

00:42:37.154 --> 00:42:42.404
but yeah, if you wanna have more information about qualo s if he just looked it up, that's all on qualo s.com.

00:42:43.104 --> 00:42:44.034
Okay.

00:42:44.034 --> 00:42:50.924
And then Unica, you do, rent a hatch and sell People can put stuff on your marketplace and all that kind of stuff.

00:42:50.924 --> 00:42:57.504
Right on un have a business incubator where I help people, for example, to launch their products on Amazon.

00:42:57.834 --> 00:43:02.334
If you have a great product, you say, Hey, I would love to sell it on Amazon, but I don't know how to do that.

00:43:02.659 --> 00:43:05.419
that's what I do with the Unica business, incubator.

00:43:05.479 --> 00:43:06.049
Exactly.

Rent the Hatch is a, is an option.

00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:15.149

00:43:32.069 --> 00:43:42.809
I'm Austrian, but, I, I, as a child, I always loved Swiss Army knives and, yeah, little bit the Swiss Army knife as well for all your needs around running a poultry or game birth business.
