Write some Software

I would like to have a program developed to help me through a process, which at the moment is taking up much of my time, causing loss of productive time. My line of business is exporting of various food products abroad via container loads. I pack a variety of products in my containers and this is where my process becomes complex.
The software’s purpose is to help me to work out the ideal product combination to maximise my profit margin, and by this I mean that I need to make sure that my container must be filled top to bottom, front to back to maximise my profit. There are of course variables that will be the deciding factors for the successful execution of this process.
I have a database of products I sell which have various attributes like weight, volumes, descriptions, custom codes, supplier and a lot more. The process begins like this:
I decide on the mode of transport and or container size. A container has a fixed amount of cubic meters and or weight permitted to be loaded with. Once the container size is decided upon, we start to choose the products we would like to send in the container. Using our database of products we choose and click on quantities until we reach the target weight and or cubic meters. A lot of shuffling is required until this process can be achieved. Once we have “the ideal” pre-order, we need to separate the products per supplier and a purchase order generated and saved in a pdf format. We then send these pdf files to our suppliers via Outlook. The suppliers come back to us, and either confirm the quantities that we have ordered or inform us of out of stock items or fewer products available. In this case, we will need to return to our initial order and replace these out of stock or not delivered items with something else to replace and make up for the lost space. Once all our orders have been confirmed, the products are delivered to our warehouse where we will begin to load the container. A packing list is created for this purpose and although in theory the cubes and the weight of the items are correct, not all products fit in the container and are left behind. Items left behind must be deducted from the initial order so that an invoice can be generated to our customer for payment.
Lastly, the software will require to generate a couple of reports, like packing lists, purchase orders, invoices etc that will be discussed with a successful freelancer who will be allocated for the project. The software must also allow for logins for users and also allow for the product list to be maintained. The design of these reports and what fields will be required will be given to the programmer by us.
As I am not sure about the costs of this program, I would like to know what it would cost for the software to sit locally on a server in our offices, or what the cost would be to have it accessed via web services. The costs involved will determine which of the 2 solutions will be chosen.
Lastly, it is important for us that all freelancers bidding for the project, indicate a final price for the project, and unless we require further functionality that will justify a price increase, and not bid just for the sake of bidding. Any freelancer practicing this is asked to not waste our time and anyone trying to bid in this manner will be excluded from our choice.
Thank you
