Looking for a user database system

[waltonad0283]

Hey everybody,

Heres my predicament. I am the webmaster/designer of www.libertypromotions.com, a custom die-cast car company. We have a database of 20,000 clients who have all purchased from us before. Currently when we offer a product, clients can place an order online into a MySQL database, but after the sale, we have to manually import those same orders into an access database on our local machines. The process is time consuming, we have approx. 1000 orders a month that we hand process this way. In addition to this, the products can only be purchased on the correct time, if they have purchased 10+ previous products than they can order day 1, 5+ day 2, 1+ day 3 (or something to that affect) So evey month we recieve 1000 phone calls/email on how many times a client has purchased.

So what I am looking for is this, A system where the client can log in, see their billing/shipping address, their CC on file, and their number of purchases. I also would like this to control sales, they have to login, and if they are in-eligible to order they are stopped before placing the order. I need it to be easy to use, customizable, and secure. At the same time, I need to be able to upload my current database, I would have 20,000 angry customers if I wiped out their current purchasing records. We also need it to function as a traditional shopping cart, with some sort of scheduling function based off of previous purchases (it may not be 10+, it may be 30+, or never purchased, etc). I have some other features I would like, but I will discuss those more in depth with anyone who asks.

So can anyone help me develop this/ develop this for me? I am willing to discuss payment options, and would like to get it completed by September if possible. Any and all help on developing/resources/ other ideas suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What are the chances you've been struck by a lightening bolt of common sense
which would advocate you migrate your data and consolidate your resources
using ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server?

Consolodating away from Access is the key. Whether it's ASP.net or MS SQL is
less relevant.

I'd say you definitely want someone to come in and help with a custom
solution.

Hey man, I dont really care what someone uses, I have SQL on my server already, so I would like to keep software costs to a minimum, any ideas on where to find a developer? Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.
