This is a complete replacement of the backend system of a wholesaler. The attached spec is not yet complete (whether or not this project goes ahead depends on the cost), so at this stage I'm looking for proposals with indicative time/cost. Please be detailed in your proposal - I'm interested in working with people who are willing to put some serious thought into the project at this stage. I'd be particularly interested in examples of previous similar work. I've left the maximum bid open in order to get a feel for what it would take to do this job properly. In particular, your testing will need to be done in-house.. I want to avoid the usual cycle of delivery-bugreport-delivery-bugreport.
