$1500-5000

Description:



500 GB of Hosting for only $4.95/mo.

* BACKGROUND:
-------------
We are an online textbook store and we are looking to add enhancements to our
"inventory system". The inventory system already enables us to sell
books on our website. We are planning on adding features to our website that
will allow us to:
- List inventories and end listings on Amazon through Amazon Web Services
- Half.com through their FileExchange (Information can be found at:
http://pages.ebay.com/file_exchange/QuickStartGuideforNewHalfSellersRevised.pdf)
- Centrally manage inventories listed on our website, amazon and half.com.
- Allow the functionality to print "SKU" labels for easy
identification by auto PDF generation. More details will be provided if
requested.
We had already implemented the solution that will list inventories on half.com
last year but half.com made changes to their file formats after Oct 2005, so
much so that our old functionalities would not work. We simply want to upgrade
our system so that it works with the new fileexchange.
* PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:
-----------------------
* For Selling books
The books will be loaded into the inventory management system and the system
should automatically generate SKU numbers for printing by automatically
generating a PDF file. At the time of generating SKU, the interface will have
options to load on the 1) website, 2) Amazon and 3) Half.com.
A cron job should be developed that checks Amazon and Half.com for orders. When
the orders are generated from any of these websites, the system should delist
(according to the inventory levels) from other websites.

* TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS:
------------------------
The IT infrastructure is setup to run on three servers: 1- web. 1- database
server, 1-replication server. The setup is LAMP. Runs on Apache2 PHP5 and
MySQL5. The proposed solution should be developed in PHP5 (Linux) and MySQL5.
Scalability issues also important.

* TIME CONSTRAINTS:
-------------------
I would ideally like this software to be developed, tested and delivered by
November 30, 2006. If I get a feel from the potential bidders that the time
allowed is very little, then I prefer the following phased development:
Phase I:
1. Deliver an inventory system capable of handling inventories and generating
labels.
2. Allow the system to load the books on Half.com through FileExchange.
Phase II:
Add other remaining functionalities mentioned under the "Project
Requirements"
* PLEASE NOTE:
--------------
Please note that I already have a solution developed that used to work with
Half.com, so I will provide the necessary codes and functions and full access to
the staging server during development.
I also welcome alternative system development suggestions, but the proposed
system should be compatible with LAMP.
Thank you very much for your time!
Look forward to receiving your bids,
Bill
