How to Charge for Bespoke Software - Oct 2010- Advice for someone starting out Estimating is a very imprecise business. Software usually takes far longer than you think, unless you have been doing something similar. It is a mater of striking a balance between paying for your time and what the customer will pay. This depends on the percieved values the software will deliver to them. Large companies or companies with high margins will be prepared to pay more. Small businesses are more prone to have cash-flow issues. Startup projects should be treated with a healthly amount of scepticism. Don't do lots of work without getting paid. Get money in advance to cover you time. Pay close attention to areas of uncertainity, either in terms of specification or how the solutionwill be delivered. Interactions with other software, other organisations are problematic - try to be precise and define limit of responsibility. EDI Error Checking - July 2009A client contacted me because they were spending too much time checking for user errors from an Atlas EDI interface. They receive approximate 500 orders per week from each public house owned by a major chain. An equal number of advanced shipping notes are sent prior to shipping. Upon delivery of the goods each client pub edits the ASN and returns it via their head office as a goods receipt note. From this GRN an invoice is generated. Problems arise because the GRN is not always returned, or the GRN has data lines missing, resulting in lost revenue. I was able to write a bespoke Access program that can automatically checked each line of each order in a matter of minutes. |
