Filemaker for DOS
@pm07a2m Ah, filemaker for dos, I remember it well. You state that you have IT experts making a new system for this. If they have the time and if they design it right, then you should be good to go.
One thing to ask them though, is what database system are they planning to use. Ideally it should be a SQL based system, and not something like Access, or flat files.
Otherwise, as already suggested, look around for a ready built system to fit your needs.
