System for a translation agency to track and register clients, jobs per client, work done by item, pricing, reports on work done by period, by client, etc... Also needs to control accounts receivable from clients (invoices issued, invoices paid, date paid etc.).? We believe that this could turn into quite a detailed project. The aim of the system is to take our current spreadsheet-based controls and simplify data input, simplify access to information and create better controls over what has been invoiced, when invoiced and paid, etc. A system that operates online using a browser-based interface compatible with IE, FireFox and Chrome is required.? System should be created/coded in widely used language accessible to any browser, code must be commented and structured for future adaptation by other coders (in case the selected bidder is not available in the future for changes;/upgrades/additions).? Database should use MySQL.? The system should be easy to backup (preferably automated DB backup from remote server onto local machine) and reinstall for non-technical personnel and without developer assistance.? Open to reasonable suggestions. Will consider doing this on a module by module basis, with payment on same basis. All resulting code/software will be the sole and exclusive property of buyer. By bidding, you accept this condition. ## Deliverables Basic view of the system as we see it: All reporting must be flexible providing specific date ranges or custom dates (e.g. google adwords reporting) All fields must be auto-fill where possible (any other time-saving ideas will be appreciated) System must provide scope for altering system language easily (will be produced in English, we may decide to translate it later - we work with people who speak many languages) Login Dashboard ongoing jobs, expected deliveries etc User registration/access authorization Client/contact registration registering clients etc. each client may have sub-clients (e.g. a PR agency we work for may have several clients we provide translations for, and they need to see the months report on all translation service divided by sub-client) each client or sub-client may have several buyers reporting on customer history Translation project creation many variables - some will be required, some not System for issuing proposals/quotes (generate PDF) also provide follow-up system/reminders Money in - money out (we avoid calling it "accounting", because we dont need to track expenses or do accounting) financial dashboard - current billables this month, outstanding invoices receivable, amount payable to translators etc. issue commercial/pro forma invoices (to customers abroad) register invoices issued (in Brazil, we have to issue paper invoices, so we would simply register the invoice number, date issued, tax retained and gross/net value, date paid, net amount paid) Reports several. Summary: the system will be based on a few modules, namely PROJECTS, CLIENTS + CRM, QUOTING and FINANCE We like the way Google offers reporting system, dashboards, drill downs etc. We want something like that.
