Datarecovery Shop Management Software

[Amarbir[CDR-Labs]]

Hello Everyone ,
I Was So Busy Building My New office that i missed quite a time on the forums .The office is still going on and will take few more days .Long time back in high school i was pretty good with Borland Turbo C And Used to make Antivirus Software Those Days .I was Good in Turbo Pascal Also .Since Then i have not been coding and lots of new programming languages have come up now and the programming concepts have changed .Can any of you let me know To write such a software first standalone ,Then Client Server Based and then Web Based what programing language to consider .Do i need to have a double approach like have a database server at backend and use a programming language in the frontend or can i use a language that can do both the things at one time .I would like to do the following in stand alone mode first

1 : Manage Customer Cases
2 : Track Progress of Cases
3 : Track Internal Inventory for Physical Work
4 : Might be have a billing system for end user also

PS : Kindly note that i will first learn the language like a hobby and then get down to the program .Might be i can download a flowcharting software and then make a flowchart of this kinda concept so that work is easy once i learn it .My second project would not be like my first one but i like to develop a logical datarecovery tool like DFL SRP .Unlike DFL SRP i Would Focus only On The Logical Datarecovery And Great Interface With Good Progress .Can Anyone of you help in this initial decision making an sort out the little if and buts i have in my brain .Might Be This New Hobby Keeps Me Bust And Like That i will spend some quality time

If I were to go about it, I'd be using PHP and MySQL. But, my programming years are too many moons ago.

Hello Luke ,
PHP And MySQL Should Be Preferred If i Make a Web Based App Initially .As Far As Making A Standalone Application Is Concerned i Thing Some Programming Language in Visual Studio Like C#,Visual Basic And Then C++ When i Need To Make The Logical Software .But For Back End MS SQL Server Would Be Good .But i am Still Seeking Advice .

Good grief--you have time to do that on top of your data recovery business?
We use Quickbooks Online. You can do all you listed above with it and access the database anywhere you have a connection to the internets. Even has a fancy phone app.
It automatically assigns a case number and we use a price gun/labeler to quickly tag all items the customer left with us with the corresponding case number. I think it's $30/mo.
