Windows Part Pricing Desktop App
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
I need a small Windows-only desktop application that helps me decide how much to sell spare parts for. Every day I work with a simple CSV price list; I’d like to drag-and-drop (or browse to) that file directly inside the program, have it load the data into memory, and then let me search by part number.
Core flow
• If the part exists in the loaded CSV, the app immediately shows me the current purchase price.
• If the part is not found, the app prompts me for any extra details you need (for example my target profit margin or a manual cost) and then suggests a sensible selling price.
Key needs
– Runs natively on Windows 10/11.
– No external database; everything is handled from the CSV I provide each time.
– Clean, uncluttered interface so anyone in the office can use it without training.
– Fast search—even with a fairly large CSV.
– Straightforward installer or single-exe delivery.
Acceptance criteria
1. I can upload a new CSV, see it parsed without errors, and search instantly.
2. Hitting “Enter” after typing a part number returns the purchase price in under a second.
3. For unknown parts, the price suggestion screen appears and calculates correctly based on the margin I enter.
4. The executable runs on a fresh Windows machine with no additional setup beyond standard runtimes.
Mention any language or framework you intend to use (e.g., Python + PyInstaller, C# WPF, Electron) so I understand deployment size and prerequisites. I’m ready to get started as soon as I pick the right developer.
Sample csv file provided for 50 parts but actual csv file has 100,000 lines
