Taxi Driver Online

As this Forum main title was Equipment and this thread was called Navigator Lite totally free booking and despatch software I think the whole speculation of companies house, accounts, who did what when and where in the past is entirely irrelevant.

Do you really look up the financial data on Dell when you buy a PC or Skoda when you buy a car? I thought not.

What is important is that Navlite is a very very successful product and has totally outstripped all our expectations.

As Andy says "I measure my success in how happy I am."

I for one am very happy that we have finally delivered the product that all the end users wanted for free.

No Bullshit, No Money back guarantees, No time outs, No free for a year.
Totally free, take it or leave it. I am not surprised a lot of companies that were considering other packages have now decided to use our product instead.

OK so we have totally upset our competitors in doing this and understandably there are a few sour grapes, as is obvious from diatribe on this forum. Tough thats business.. I am sure if the competition had got there products into enough shape to offer it as freeware they would have done the same to us.

Now we really do have to duck out of this forum it appears there is nothing we can offer you guys without getting constantly sniped.

bit missleading there our Stewart!

the joint venture company was not Diplomat UK but windowview thats why they owned the programmes.

as for you canvassing for share buying you should be putting warnings as you are a director and these are required by law.

as all the programmes are given away and the profitmaking is commong from hardware through Diplomat its neer impossible for windowview to make a profit?

some of us are on our toes!

Stuart.

very misleading that one, the partnership was not involved in the Diplomat company but the highly successfull windowview company you think people should buy shares in/?

tHATS INTERESTING THOUGH WHY WOULD ANYONE WISH TO INVEST IN A COMPANY THAT GIVES ITS PRODUCT AWAY?

Andy b4 you cay anything follow on sales go through the diplomat company.

hey , Stu I wonder if this is the confusion you had that led to the insolvency?

you know banking funds in the wrong account?

Last dig.

'More users than any other system'.

I could have more customers than any other taxi company if i gave journeys away.

Accountants normally delay when the signing off of accounts when the company concerned has made such a pigs ear of running its administration systems.

Last dig.

I could have the most end users in the taxi industry if I gave the journeys away.

Just checked Auriga's accounts they are up to date.

Ace Comms is also 9 months late. How careless.

Simply the best taxi forum in the whole wide world. www.taxi-driver.co.uk

Sorry my multi posts came about because of the troubles earlier.

I cannot resist one more effort at Stewart's totally naive posting.

Skoda are part of Volkswagen and Dell are the largest manufacturers of computers in the world (I believe). Their performance is monitored by the financial papers on a daily basis and they present annual accounts on time. So yes I do keep abreast of their financial position.

However they are not supplying a product that will be the cornerstone of my company, that we totally depend on. You would be if I brought your product, and it appears that your recent history has some grey areas over it, thus it would be prudent to be prudent.

Finally and this is the most shocking point for me, which seriously raises issues as to your suitability to be the MD of a Company. That is the following statement

'As far as when we file our accounts at companies house!!
I cannot even answer this question. This is entirely down to our accountants.'

You Mr Diplomat are the man responsible, totally. You are meant to ensure good governance of the company you are in charge off. Who is it that appoints these Accountants? You. Who is responsible for ensuring they do their job correctly? You. Who has a duty to shareholders to ensure the company meets its statutory requirements? You.

As I say, you seem totally inable of the doing the tasks set you in the role of an MD. That may well prove to be demonstrated by your decision to issue your product free of charge. It may be the making of you, time will tell. However to make that decision accurately you should be on top of all the financial issues encompassing your company, that you clearly are not.

This idea may revolutionise the industry (despatch software), it may de-stabilise it and cause serious damage to you, your customers and your competitors. Time will tell.

OUT OF ALL THAT ONLY ONE FACT WRONG.

the shareholders appoint the accountants, however nobody can make them add a certificate.

maybe the accountants are carefull

remember losses take longer to count than profits.

no news is very bad news in accountancy.

Geoff

Of course Geoff, the shareholders appoint the Accountants technically but in reality the MD meets the possible candidates and decides which one to recommend to the AGM. I would doubt that any more than 0.001% of AGM's see the shareholders over rule the MD'd recommendation.

I was only Joking about the shares guys. These are private companies You couldn't buy these even if your life depended on it. But hey who said you had a sense of humour anyway. My Mistake sorry..

Nice to see people are only slagging me off and not the product.
Also nice to see the only people slagging me off have never seen the product or used it. I wonder what their motive is.???

Nice to see some people think I am or want me to be MD
Thanks guys..
Maybe I will run for president next???

Anyway this I am afraid is certainly my last post on TDO for a long while.
The Diplomat Taxi forum is actually bigger and a tad more busy than this so it is just a matter of simple logistics that prevents me from allocating any more time to it. Also the real MD has spoken and told us we are far too busy to be getting involved in mudslinging contests that are now actually about nothing.

Those people without confidence in the Diplomat company or its products should place their business in a company they have confidence in.

Those however who are using Diplomat products and like them , please spread the news. It is now by far the most popular choice in the UK and we are now getting interest from overseas so we must be doing something right.

Don't forget NavLite is only the free version. Over 10% of navlite users are upgrading to NavPro. You can indeed meet some of these upgraders at the stand.


It has been a rare pleasure, certainly a great deal of fun and an education and an insight into the minds of some of captains of this industry.
Those who placed orders. Thankyou very much.
Those of you you promoted our products and services either directly or otherwise. Thank you very much also. It certainly worked.

As I have said before, everone is welcome to join the Diplomat forums for technical advice and breaking news of new gadgets and services.

Please also subscribe on the site for our regular newsletter it is free and we always do an amazing special offer each month.
This month we are selling T2010 radios in the band of your choice for £175.00. You must however be on the subscription list to qualify.

Good luck with TDO Alex.
Don't be a stranger and drop us a line occasionally.

Shares are shares, the duty of corporate governance has the same principles.

Slagging you off cos you try to be so Righteous and dismissive of other systems and people.

Have seen you product and was not impressed, actually it is fair to say I was unimpressed with the people demonstrating it so didn't give the system more than a fleeting glimpse.

Motive? To have a balance discussion. Wharfie has been throwing some bricks your way and I though I would assess his information.

You certainly give the impression of being MD. Perhaps you should go and kick his arse.

So only 10% of your potential clients actually buy the kit, fascinating statistic.

Do you count your customers as those who are actually using the system commercially or simply those that sign up to samle a freebie?

As for running for President, its a good idea, judging by the quality ofthe last guy the Yanks elected.
