Customer / Production Management System

This project will entail building a customer / production management system. This system will include the following sections: Customer invoice pages - The customer invoice pages will include a sales page where our sales agents can collect information about customers, items being purchased, billing information (including processing payments through [login to view URL]), and shipping information. The 'items being purchased' will be pulled from our current database and will require some AJAX to implement. After submitting the purchase order the information will be displayed on a basic printable invoice page. The customer invoice pages will also include an admin to organize, display and modify invoices. Core department pages - Our core department will receive it's instructions once a customer invoice is created. The core department must locate the items being purchased. Once a purchase order is made the core department will see the item on their admin. Each item will have its own item page where the department will document their steps in locating, purchasing, and receiving the item. Once the item is received, the core department will mark it as received and the item will move on to the builder department. Builder department pages - We employ multiple builders and they build items using a queuing system. If we have 3 builders, and there are 12 items to be built, each builder will have 2 items in their personal queue, leaving 6 items in the shoot. Once a builder finishes an item, they start on their 2nd item and one of the 6 in the shoot drop into their personal queue. For this reason the builder pages will require a queuing system. Each builder will have their own admin section where they will see what items are in their personal queue and each item will have their own page for documenting the building process. This will mainly be a series of checkboxes. Once the builder marks an item as completed the item will move onto the shipping department. Part department pages - The parts department pages will include a part ordering form. When a part is requested the form will be filled out and submitted to an admin section. When a part is received from our vendor the parts department will open the page for that part, mark it as received, enter the amount paid and so on. Shipping department - The shipping pages will include an admin listing out all shipments that are going out or coming in. Each shipment will have its own page which will allow the shipper to document the weight, price, times and so on. We would also like to attach this to Quickbooks using their API and most likely our freight carrier (Con-Way). While there are a few other minimal sections to this project, these are the major ones. Take your estimated time on the items listed above and add 10% - 20% to it and you are probably pretty close to the total project time.
