This description is borrowed from another project listing, but captures exactly what I want: I would like someone to write a software program that would allow price comparison for ALL products on any given retail website like Walmart, Target, Toys R US etc.... to the lowest price on Amazon. The software needs to have certain search parameters that can be changed. Like a price difference of 20% can bring up a different set of hits than a price difference of 18%. I would like the results generated on a spreadsheet. I am currently doing this manually and it's quite time consuming. I would like the software to have the following abilities. 1. Change the search parameters. One one website I might want a "hit" to be for those items with a 18% margin, while a different website I may want to only see the items with a 25% margin. 2. Minimum and maximum pricing available. Meaning we can search for only those products that fall within the given dollar parameters at the designated price difference parameter set. 3. Calculate total cost including with Amazon not just purchase price as shipping is a variable. 4. Change the website you choose to compare the products against Amazon. For instance if one day you want to search Walmart you serach Walmart. The next day you may want to search Toys R Us. 5. Have a provision to exclude previous "hits". If a list is generated on a Tuesday and the program is run the next day Wednesday, Then many of the items would show up again if the search had an identical set of search parameters. I would like the option of excluding previous "hits" 6. Generate a list of items that no longer meet the search criteria that previously used to. Such as the items are no longer offered, out of stock, price margin is no longer large enough.. 7. Differentiate between items that are in stock or unavailable. Many existing price comparison software will search one specific item from one site to another but you have to know what you are searching for. I reverse this idea by searching for all products of a given website with a large enough margin to buy and resell given my resell and shipping fees. The software doesn't have to be perfect, and it doesn't have to include everything listed above if it's crazy expensive. It's just my wish list. I would just like to narrow my search and then I can fine tune the list from there.

Dear Sir/ Madam, My name is Henry from PHAMTECH Co. My team is really interested in this project as it is exactly within our scope of expertise: We are web/ app design & development experts. Please kindly visit PHAMTECH to learn more about us and our works similar to this type of projects. Working with a team who has both in-house DESIGNERS and PROGRAMMERS means that you can take advantage of both: Our designers could help revise the design even in coding process, which is a GREAT benefit for any ongoing project. + We plan and build. We don't use prebuilt templates which produce conflicting codes and bugs and hurt the system in the long term. + Our team is 100% in-house. We don't outsource projects elsewhere. So you pay for the real service - not marketing fee. In short, if you need an experienced team who offers *real English* communication, beautiful design & optimized code, premium after-service, in time and to budget, then we are the choice. If you need something based on solely ONE of the above criteria, then we're still happy if you decide to give another freelancer a chance. Just bookmark our website and come back in case the selected freelancer can't meet your demands. * Even if you don't go with us, avoid fast food services. Chances are they omit the software planning & testing phases for the sake of reducing time & cost, which produces unsustainable codes behind and creates more distrust in this market! Best wishes, Henry.G
