Question

I am trying to create a personal project.

I have 3 branches that will buy and sell auto parts. I am using a web server for this project (IIS in windows server 2012). There is another server that is being used as the Database server. Database server will have an inventory of each branch. I need a web builder because I do not have coding experience.

What I want to do is that the user in each branch can login to the web server and from there lookup the items in inventory if it is something available to sell. Also that they can purchase or sell items from the same page connected to the IIS (Insert the item number or name, qty, price, etc. Also give reicipt or whatever that trancsactions do). When the item is bought or sold shoud update the inventory in the database.

buy or sell items should not interfiere with other users/branches businesses.

I do not need the project done. Just good suggestions and what would be the best and fastest option. I have a month to get this done.

Another question: Should I still use web server or app server will be best? Remember that I need something easy to build.

Explanation / Answer

The best option here would be to use readily available shopping cart API's. But programming knowledge is a must even if you use some RAD softwares like webmatrix (which is for new more of gui than code).

Practically speaking the project is a big one, for payment related use readily build and available API in you webhosting account (like godaddy, host gator etc), SSL is a must since it is a shopping site.

Datebase and webpages are best to be kept in same domain/same hosting company server else it will be terribilly slow;

Inventory change will only impact inventory tables - branches and other business area tables would not get affected unless they are based on inventory numbers.

Also, if fresh devlopment is not a requirments, there are many providers out there who will charge a minimal fee and get your requirment up and running with their software but from your domain (IMHO this is the best choice at least untill your site is coded by you or your team, mean while you will understand all the requirments)
