Oddball this one , i do this for my job but have never charged anyone externally to the company for doing it.

Ive had out quality bloke on asking me a rough price to design and implement a database that can run a backend and front end , based on 3 - 5 computers. Its going to be a sales order processing, production , depsatch system. SOP will be workstation based with a customer database inplace and listing the items they buy, then using vba a system put in place to work prices etc. etc.. out.

Production will be a pc and an external plasma screen , main computer there to work from and / or print the job sheets. Plasma will be for prodiction monitoring , times , capacity etc. etc..

Despatch quite simply will have a pc and printer with access to orders due and delivery addresses ,capability to print address labels based on the orders there and then a booking out section to record items that have left and how many , including a customer copy etc. etc.

Eventually a report system will be built to show orders frequency , values etc. but this will be an afterwards consultancy thing.


Im not necesarily going to do this as im quite busy as it is , but if my work were going to charge for my time/knowledge on this , roughly what would it be , per hour or day , or for the full system.

I know a few of you do similair things , possibly freelance so would be interested to see roughly what a company should charge for it.

Datbase will be access based and coded using vba, dont think sql at this level.

Cheers :)

From the sounds of things he'd be still working for his company, but they would be charging an external company for the work.

If this is the case the surely your company would know the rates to charge rather than leaving it to you to decide though?

LOL , well no , we are a manufacturing company , not a software company so they never have paid or would normally charge someone for this sort of work :)
 
Appreciate the help , but i dont understand whats hard to get across ?

The company isnt massive, we turn over 10 million a year, im the only IT guy here and get paid a sallary for what i do. What dont do intercompany charges for different departments :)

We all p**s in the same pot , so no idea why we would follow the above model , we would effectively be charging ourselves to do stuff.
 
It will be a new build with new code , prob just a couple of lookups and things copied over as subroutines things like that. Basically its the knowledge ive gained doing our current system they will be paying for, all the trial and error and seeing what works etc..
