i am in a slight dilema and was wondering if theres anything out there that could help.

Issue:
I currently am buying up any goods my corp members come across (EG - gas, salvage,pi and so forth) for the corp, and logging everything using a spreadsheet in Google docs then paying them out. this method is OK at best, but it is tedious and i have to input data for one member at a time, and move on to the next.

i have heard of a semi automated utility using the IGB that some corps use to do this very thing, Where the member inputs all the data, and then gets paid once its been confirmed.

Is there such a utility out there? . . . any help on the matter would be great.


On another note, id be willing to pay ISK to have a programmer write a program for me, or have help doing so on the matter. All information and details will be discussed in game.

Do you want to host it on a site, like on smf or wordpress, or do you want a separate app?

TLDR:
Free site likely wont be capable of what you want.

I do like the idea, however I don't think a website is what you want if you don't want to spend any money on it and here's why. All the free sites I'm aware of are very limited. Such as they don't give you the ability to run cron jobs (tasks that run automatically on a schedule) and don't give you access to a database.

To do what you want, if you go the website route, will need a database, it could be done without but would be a lot more work imo. You could probably get away with not needing cron jobs but in all honesty the easiest part of what your looking to do would be automatic price pulling.

Now you still have options, 1 would be not do a website and instead do an application (which I can't help you with). or 2 get a paid website with database access. Then take advantage of existing tools such as smf with the temars plugin. Then add to the database and cron jobs and a custom smf page to do what you want.

Some of the advantages of option 2 are your only building on top of things that already exist rather than starting from scratch. This is good because if something has a bug your not debugging everything to find whats wrong, your only debugging the new bits added by what you want to do.
