Management Software

Post by callmoo3 »

Hi,

I have experience with web development and web design and am currently developing a web based management software for my bulk machines. It would work for any machine that doesn't have the capacity to use a management software built into it such as snack vending machines.

I will be developing this for my personal use anyway but would anyone be interested in this if I made it available, I plan to offer it for free.

Any suggestions and feedback would be great such as what features you feel are important and if this is of interest to you.

Thanks

Sure, I'd be interested if it was free! I'd like it to tell me exactly when I should be next visiting each of my machines (based on past data of course) and what I should be ordering next.

Your first suggestion may be available in a future version but not the initial release.

In regards to your second suggestion, do you mean like a stock management system? So it will tell you when you run out of bags of mini eggs for example. It won't be able to calculate when a machine is empty as it won't have any communication with it.

I think some software that you can program frequency of visits and it flags up when one is due is what is needed as a neccesity. :thumbup:
