Purpose:
About a year ago I wanted a new subscription plan, but the Dutch market was so opaque I couldn’t make head or tails from it. I decided to introduce some clarity.
From this effort the site grew to encompass about 85% of the market. The site analyses a visitor’s phone bill. Based on this information the site then calculates which subscription plan best matches the calling behaviour of the visitor.

Uniqueness:
We also go further where others stop. Each and every detail is important. Whom do you call most often? To which networks? Do you usually call in the evening or on weekends? Do you typically make long or short calls?

In addition to this attention for detail the visitor receives an in depth analysis of his or her calling behaviour, giving them the insights they sorely lack at the moment.

Money:
We plan to make money the same way Google does. As we know which plan matches best with the visitor we can display highly relevant ads.

Statistics:
Currently we compare 674 plans. We have calculated the costs of nearly 600,000 phone calls. On average one can save 40 to 50 percent per month if a fitting plan would be picked.

You, get coffee!

who's going to get coffee?

who's going to get coffee?

Purpose:
You can create a group of people from which to randomly generate a victim (that has to get coffee, or something else). The group is always accessible through your own url http://getcoffee.at/yourgroupname

Why is it unique / better than the rest?
There are other websites where you can randomly pick a person, but you have to retype all the names each times you need a victim (or winner).

How will you make money out of it?
Nespresso, Douwe Egberts, Starbucks, Illy or Coffee Company can advertise in a very subtle way.

What are the facts/statistics?
There are currently 545 groups created, at Innovation Factory it is used every day.
