When I started looking at running my own bakery, I was surprised at how few programs there were that were specific to the type of business that I wanted to run. I wanted software that could do everything from manage my hours worked to determining how much yeast I would need to purchase for my breads each week. Finally, I gave up trying to find programs to meet my needs and hired a .NET software development company to develop my own proprietary software that was specific to my company needs. As it turns out, this was the biggest money saver for my company as well.
