I'm not advertising a job. Do you get the idea of asking a plumber to fix a leaking pipe? Do you understand the difference? If you have nothing constructive to say, please keep quiet.

Maybe looking for a candidate not totally inappropriate, but you answer is!!!

Telling me my question is inappropriate is reason enough for telling that person to be quiet when they clearly have no idea. Seriously, I thought that codeproject was frequented by people who liked to help other people: I am tasked with finding a software solution to a business problem; I am NOT offering a full time position. I require the services of someone with better programming/development skills than myself; and what better place to ask than a forum of developers and programmers - seemed the logical choice to me. Old Albert in the pub who used to program his ZX Spectrum just won't cut it.
If you are telling me that this isn't the place to ask for the help of someone's services (which they will be compensated for their time and solution at an agreed rate) then please point me to the correct place and stop being so negative.

That seems to be your answer to everyone who raises a forum post that you don't agree with. Grow up!

Heh heh Old Albert here - cut what?

Since you ask: this is not the place to ask for personal help or recruiting developers. There are plenty of websites that offer such services, this is not one of them.

There are sites, other than this, which actually do just that.

This isn't the site for hiring people. Try Freelancer.com but be warned, you get what you pay for.

Hence the reason I asked here first Dave.

I'm certain that such packages exist already. Have you tried looking for them? SAP etc. would probably be too expensive for a 20-person company, but I'm certain that there are programs that can handle most of what you need.
Inventory, purchasing, invoicing, programs for small businesses definitely exist. Look for accounting software for small companies. Costings and BOM - probably. The question is whether they can be linked.
A bespoke solution is a non-trivial task and would probably cost quite a lot of time and money.

Thank you, the first constructive answer - I've reworded my original post because of all the negativity received.

Finally and fair play would have been: Strike out the original text and then add the rephrased text. Like this readers could have a picture about the original thread discussion!

Karasjok (north Norway), Wednesday next week: 40 degrees below zero. No need to tell whether it is C or F.
They are used to low winter temperatures in that area. Some years ago, with -52C, there was a fear that the power grid would break down (it didn't happen, but people joked that street lights were not needed - the glow from the power lines gave enough light). On TV, the mayor was asked what would be the consequence of a breakdown, and he answered with a perfectly straight face: Well, that would significantly reduce the difference between indoor and outdoor temperature.

Coming from Norway, I was shocked to see quality of insulation ("Insulation", what's that?? ) in most houses. Sofas and chairs were moved away from outer walls, to the center of the room, to stay away from the ice cold walls. On the other hand, all houses had impressing huge oil furnaces.
This was in the late 1970s, and the houses were not put up last year. So things may have changed - although rumors are "Not that much!" Certainly, if the houses I saw then are still standing, I doubt that they have torn down the walls to add 12 in thick fiberglass mats in all outer walls and replaced the windows with 3-layer ones. If insulation is better nowadays, I expect it for new buildings, mostly.
I am today living in a 1959 vintage house. Even that far back, it was built with 8 in insulation mats in the wall (although that was 'high standard' in 1959).
Last time I referred to this, someone pointed to Canadian building standards, that are comparable to the Norwegian ones. I guess that enforcing such standards, even in MN, would be an unacceptable limitation of personal freedom .
