WCA Net

Overview

WorldCast Anglers Network (WCA Network) is a web-based internal database for Outfitters and Guides designed by Outfitters and Guides. Over the past six years WCA Network has given Outfitters and Guides the ability to manage, organize and execute an Outfitters and Guides business from virtually anywhere in the world.

After a restructure of the company in 2008, the core of the Network has been completely re-written, the network has a new look, and most important of all there have been some very exciting changes to the function of the network. Phase 1 of the Network is the core of the system and it is what Outfitters and Guides have been working off of for the last six years.

Phase 2 brings some new and exciting features to the Network and moves the network out of the internal management realm and empowers clients with booking capability. A lodging feature will also be available on the network in Phase 2 as well as a new reporting system, cash flow analysis, a client list import and export feature, and a long list of additional new and exciting changes. Phase 2 will be completed in the spring of 2009.

Phase 3, the future of the WCA Network will bring the ability for Outfitters and Guides to strategically align themselves with one another and further in order to work together. Additionally Phase 3 will further empower the clients booking capabilities and incorporate websites of Outfitters and Guides utilizing the Network. Phase 3 will be completed in the spring of 2010.
