We run an ASP that provides an integrated Ecommerce solution to customers.
This system runs on PHP on my Linux servers.
I need someone to design a killer desktop APP that communicates (probably by XML would be best) with our ASP so that our customers can get realtime desktop updates when something happens with their account.
IE - if a new order comes through their shopping cart, I need the system to notify them on their desktop.
There will be many other instances for when the system would notify them but that should be sufficient information to allow you to make a bid.
The app should reside in the users system tray and perhaps act as an IE/Netscape toolbar addin.
