software needed

assalamualykom everyone
i want to make a simple interface for tech in which they add name, date, shift, line, model. and when they choose model the corresponding specification sheet is loaded so that the tech inserts the values of measurements he took
can anyone help about that

 

The programming part sounds pretty simple. If you have a nearby college that teaches software engineering, you can probably find someone there that could do it.

BUT, there are bigger challenges than just programming,though. Here's a few that come to mind. Programmers think in terms of "make it work" and often don't consider use cases which could cause the system to crash or perform unexpectedly. If you're in a regulated environment (e.g., aerospace or medical devices) then that data must be properly protected and maintained. Since you're talking about measurements, precision will be important and you want the software to support your intentions (if someone enters 15.1, is that sufficient precision or if someone enters 15.0001, is that too much?). Often times, these home-grown tools tend to expand to incorporate more features over time (wouldn't it be cool if we could scan the equipment ID in, wouldn't it be cool to get a history report for measurements, and so on). You want to be sure the code is written so that it's maintainable and extensible.

I'd like to say that professional services would be a better option but I've seen applications that some of these "professionals" write and it's sometimes pretty weak (of course, not with *my* company - but I'm not pitching for this gig). In short, yes, there should be plenty of folks who can solve this, just give them a good vetting first. Programmers can code what you tell them to. It's what you don't tell them (missing requirements, incomplete specifications, etc.) that ultimately results in issues.

 

thanx for your reply, it's not critical industry ( just length, width, thickness rtc ) and yes decimal differs but i can program the tolerance , I know the mangers could ask for more but its ok I can handle this. I still need this software and i don't have a programmer near me.
