How to make an online timetable?

Question

Computer networks

Now at work there is such a scheme:
there is a person who makes a schedule for the whole day / week in excel. Then we print it out and hang it on the wall. Everyone comes and looks. When you need to make changes, the schedule is reprinted
. We want it to be like this:
software (or a web service) for scheduling was installed on a person's computer. We hang a monitor (touch) on the wall. Anyone comes to the monitor and looks at the schedule. Performs searches on certain criteria, may want to see the schedule for the week ahead, etc.
As soon as the human editor made changes to the schedule, they immediately appeared on the touch screen on the wall.
Now the actual question:
We want someone to write software for us, but we don’t know what requirements to put. What to write on, will it be a web service or software on a computer? Maybe there are some solutions that can be improved and get the result we need?
Please advise.

Answer 1

If there are rigid Wishlist to the appearance - only to order.
By architecture, I would divide it into 3 parts:
1) interface for editing the schedule
2) service for storing the schedule
3) interface for viewing the schedule (custom)
According to a specific technology stack, it seems to me optimal like this:
p1 - web interface, yp any at the discretion of the contractor
p2 - any sql database (mysql / postgresql - which is closer to a specific executor)
p3 - a desktop application wrapper for the web interface (in order to minimize the risks of gaining access) - or just a browser in kiosk mode, I haven’t felt it for a long time, maybe there are already normal solutions + the web interface itself.
In terms of price, the spread can be dozens of times, depending on design expectations, usability, the need to adapt p3 for different resolutions, etc.
If this is a purely internal project - just post a slightly more detailed description on a freelance exchange with an open price, it will not cost space money.

Answer 2

For everyone it is possible. You can hang up a monitor and connect it to your computer, you can hang up a tablet and connect it to a schedule website...
But on order....
I wouldn't order for myself - it's much cheaper to look for ready-made products.
I have experience in developing a schedule for a large office - it cost them an inexpensive but new car. If you're ready, then...

Answer 3

discover any online office
, even only office, even googledox, even office365

Answer 4

More like a web service than software.
Because the web service allows you to use any tablet as a touch monitor, for example.
Because those who wish can go to that monitor, and those who do not want to can simply open it on their computer.
Because this unwilling person in the case of a web service may not get up from a sunbed in Pattaya at that time;)
And if you have a really simple schedule - it's really easier to create it from scratch, there's nothing complicated about it. But then, when during the operation of the schedule you have new Wishlist, you will not run into the limitations of GoogleDocs and will not try to combine someone else's logic with your own, but simply do for yourself exactly what you need.
