CowScout Showcase: Data Entry / Scout Master

Hi all,
In this video we demonstrate CowScout's electronic data entry and approval system. CowScout automatically assigns teams for users to scout. Scouting data is then presented to a lead scout, who checks it for errors and approves, edits, or deletes it.

For example, six users with iPads go to the data entry page and are assigned teams. When a user submits new data, they are assigned a new team to scout and the data is sent to the lead scout. The lead scout approves the data and it is added to the team's collection of statistics.

Please, feel free to share any feedback you have.

See you at the competition!

This is beautiful

This software looks great and I can see it being very useful. I have spent some time looking into developing something similar but some key questions come up right away.

1. How do you handle communication between Ipads and the database?
2. How reliable is the connection?

[Tetraman]

This program looks more in-depth than the program I use at work that maintains a warehouse and thousands of products.

Can't wait to try it out!

The scouting program is a web app. So you would need to have internet access to use the program.

Is Cowscout something we can run on our own server?

[connor.worley]

No, we are choosing to keep CowScout centralized.

[stundt1]

Yes we cant get wifi at one of our events so we arent going to be using cowscout. If we could have it to run on our own server we would use it.
But oh well

[Quijas]

looks great, 597 might just use cowscout.

[Mark Sheridan]

[avanboekel]

I would like to use CowScout for 2338. Is there any way to use it without wireless internet?

Considering CowScout, currently using Google Docs. Has anyone had negative experiences with Docs?
