Lafayette, Calif.-based Vertex (News - Alert) Logic Inc. has launched an online service called WokiDoki, which allows users to interact with a restaurant, dentist office, bank and school-teacher on the same Web page. 


WokiDoki, its developers say, will alleviate pain associated with tracking information on multiple sites or personal computers. The service has many so-called unique features. For example, people can search business directory given on its web site and set up an online business center.

 

“A customer searches a business, sees its full page ad or other relevant information such as restaurant menu or promotion offer and can click on the send-message link to begin interaction. This provides a seamless transition from the directory search to collaboration,” said Vertex officials in a press release.

 

WokiDoki, Vertex says, saves people the time and pain of going to multiple WEB sites to get information about businesses and communicate with them. It also allows them to track business related communication at a single place on their respective dashboard on the Web.

 

It seems that Vertex launched WokiDoki with a hope of targeting small businesses, which cannot afford spending huge sum of money to leverage interactive web technologies.

 

Vertex says it can even address concerns of privacy and registration because WokiDoki makes registration as simple as possible using an arbitrary screen name and password to identify user’s data. “This is analogous to calling a business with caller ID blocked,” the company said.

 

“It provides a common interface for people and businesses to interact. Hopefully, a few standard templates will emerge in WokiDoki for information exchange and collaboration. This will further make search, browse and interact more convenient and productive,” said Anil Sharma, CEO and founder of WokiDoki.

 

WokiDoki is free for people and anyone who is authorized by a business can register for the business center. On WokiDoki, businesses can setup an online center with ad publishing, collaboration and task management functions.
