![]() Mr17Hz, I beg your pardon, but that is just not true. The software is the only product out there that considers BOTH manifesting and a RESERVATION system around tandems as a single solution, both online and run locally at the dropzone. ![]() If you want to turn this into more than just a hobby, I can also put you in touch with DZOs who have asked me for more but whome I have not been able to deliver a product at the desired price range, what are your specific ideas and what development platform are you looking to solve these problems with? How are you with objective C? I am considering a native iPhone application that jumpers can use to manifest themselves. If you *really* want to put time into a solution, I would be happy to work with you to identify needs that RealDropzone does not yet cover, and help to integrate the product with your new ideas. I think you'll have a hard time coming close to what I've put together at I just came back from an installation at Skydive Hawaii and I'm rolling out a new version at Skydive Chicago this week. Someone please correct me if I am wrong or being naive, but it seems that once a load has gone and you know what you are charging each person on the load, an accounting software package could do the job. For example, linking 4 team members together to manifest their 4-way team as a group is nice, but not used by most DZ's. There can be some complicated situations of course, but you could design for the "average" DZ without all of those possible situations. A manifestor needs a manifest program to help them juggle people and loads, but for invoicing, crediting, etc, DZ management needs an accounting program. (Disclaimer: I have used manifest programs only superficially, but have used Quickbooks for my business, and have found it to have everything a business should need, including files that can be sent to accountants with their satisfaction as the result.) It seems to me that trying to include all of the accounting functions in a manifest program is trying to re-invent the wheel, and may not give an accountant what they need in the long run. You might do some research on the currently available software packages to see if they are able to create files that can be imported into QuickBooks or Quicken, and import equivalent files.
