Market Prices Observatory
01/10/2009
Dialogos has deployed the Market Prices Observatory voice portal on behalf of the Ministry of Development.
The voice portal users can perform the following transactions, by making a simple phone call to the number 1511 at any time of the day and from any place:
- Search the prices for a products category, by using, exclusively, speech
- Make an official complaint through speech commands
- Listen to the results of market prices listings
If the user is an authorized prices controller, he/she should enter his/her prices registering code and PIN number, both imprinted on the prices registering forms that had been supplied by the ministry. Any other portal user has to specify two search criteria, in order to have access to the pricing information of any category’s products:
- The product category, e.g. beers
- The region, e.g. Glyfada
Consecutively, the system announces the following information:
- Average retail price of the products belonging to the selected category
- Maximum retail price of the products belonging to the selected category and selling point, where this price has been recorded
- Minimum retail price of the products belonging to the selected category and selling point, where this price has been recorded
