How much should I charge for a custom inventory + POS system for a small dermatology clinic?
Hello everyone, please respect the post.
I'm currently a 4th-year IT student in the Philippines, and I recently built a custom system for a small dermatology clinic.
The client requested a web-based inventory and POS system with features including:
- Inventory management
- POS with barcode scanning
- Receipt generation
- Sales analytics
- Sales and inventory reports
- Role-based access (Admin and Cashier)
- Flexible report generation
- Localhost deployment
- Simple BAT/script launcher for easier access
The system is designed specifically around the clinic's workflow rather than being a generic POS solution.
For the hardware, the client will purchase the barcode scanner and receipt printer themselves. I am only providing and developing the software and will integrate the system with the hardware they purchase.
Since the users aren't very technical, I also created a simple launcher so they can basically just click an icon to open the system instead of manually starting XAMPP or navigating through the browser.
I'm now trying to figure out a fair price to charge for the project.
I don't want to overcharge because I know there are generic POS and inventory systems available that they could purchase. At the same time, this is a custom-built system designed specifically for their needs, and I've spent considerable time developing, testing, debugging, and refining it.
For those with experience in freelance development or software projects, how much would you personally charge for something like this in the Philippine market?
I'm especially interested in hearing how you would price it considering that I'm still a student and this is one of my first real client projects.
Thanks in advance!
