Zaplee: An Update
Published September 11th, 2007 in Uncategorized.I wrote a post a week or so ago that introduced Zaplee - very exciting software that gives small and medium sized businesses access to call centers via Skype which does away with expensive infrastructure and significant delays in setup. A free trial has literally just been launched via Skype Extras. Check it out!

For anyone that has read any of the posts on this blog, you’re probably used to seeing a review of the business model of an up and coming young company. Today’s post is different. It’s a Startup ‘Quick Intro’. My goal is to intersperse the usual type of postings with ‘Quick Intros’. We’ll see what reception these quick intros get!
A friend has been working on a startup called Zaplee.com - so given that I’m particularly excited about the company and it’s opportunity, thought I would do a quick ‘drive by’ about Zaplee.
Zaplee has been working on creating consumer software to provide small and medium sized companies with call center functionality via the Skype service. This gives Zaplee the capability to offer a other companies call center capabilities without painful and expensive setup costs and processes and like Skype, gives users very low monthly costs for ongoing call center services which have tradtitionally been unreachable by many young companies.
There are many exciting elements to the Zaplee business model but as they are still so ‘fresh’ I’ll need to wait a month or two before getting into details. Zaplee is currently going through an angel investment round. This is one of those ‘once in a decade’ opportunities so if there is anyone out there that wants to explore this opportunity…send me an email and I’ll pass it on.

Sounds like an interesting idea. Does Zaplee provide people who sit at skype all day and answer calls? We have a small parent company that uses both telephone and skype for customer queries, and nobody ever uses the skype option, maybe it depends on your userbase.
Yes, i have seen your website and found it interesting and Good service. Giving startup call centers an ability to manage their calls without the need of setting up heavy infrastructure is a great news.
No wonder skype has changed the life of normal people. I have seen this site http://www.andrewive.com/ and i am glad to see that someone is working in this direction.
Zaplee seems to be a great addition but it all depends how well it is marketed.
