I think there's lots of people here capable of that, but if you want some decent responses you'll need to elaborate a bit more and provide a budget.
 
Also, there are some off the shelf systems you can buy, google is your friend.
There are some that are better than others, some are easier to customise etc.

If you really want a customised system written exactly to your needs, you will get wildly varying quotes.
Consider what you need, no one can give you a really accurate estimate without details.

But just off top of my head, something like that including booking facility, calendar, payments and invoicing etc, you are looking at at least R150K.

Yes, I can do it, PM me your requirements.150K is what you would pay a company to do this.Im a lone wolf.
 
What we are looking for is something similar to what you can find on www.greyhound.co.za and www.computicket.com

I have the Computicket API as it would need to be integrated with them. If you need more info you are welcome to send me a pm.

Budget is not a problem, we just need to collect some quotes and see where we can go from there.

Depends on what you want to book. Makes a difference to a large extent

Restaurant tables, massage / beauty therapist sessions / doctors' appts / space on outdoor billboards....
 
Sorry, it would be for bus bookings

Ah I missed that post. Many moons ago we did an airline booking system. This would be pretty similar I guess.

Either way, you should look into building it such that you can have multiple channels to interact with your system. E.g. mobile app / website etc.

If you want to be able to do it any any platform , that is where the costs start to escalate.

As a new business you should do a solution that will please pc and mobile users.

Agreed, but it is important that if the customer has this on his roadmap, the devs need to plan for it.. I.e. provide entry points for e.g. JSON/REST api. Rather than moering it together.

Why the integration to Computicket? Are they going to sell your bus tickets aswell?
 
If a web developer can't do this then they're not really a web developer

There are actually a couple of components here. The web development part has relatively little to do with the booking engine component. You can get any dev to develop the booking engine. Typically that will be whatever back-end stack you want. Then the web developer will build the front-end for this. Here is where HTML/CSS/JS skills are required.

There should be a very clear dividing line between web front-end and the actual booking engine. If not, you are building a mess.

This is true. If you want to use only one developer you would need him/her to be a full stack dev. Pricier, but still cheaper and faster than using one for backend and one for the front-end
 
Has anyone succeeded in building any type of API's into Computickets booking system as yet? I am specifically looking for Music Concert booking information, if anyone could help it would be great!
