I’m an Office Manager for a small specialty company. We are growing and I want to be able to enter our daily orders into the computer. It will save time and storage space. My boss is not computer literate and it needs to be simple. I’m not sure who to contact. I have never done any programming so I don't if I could write it myself? Thank you for any input.

How many orders per day?
How many products?
How secure do you want the data?
How many fields do you require? (customer details, product details, etc)

I can't write the program, but maybe a simple spreadsheet would do?

Or a database like MS Access, FileMaker Pro... or here's a cheap entry level one:

In short, it's likely that there's software available that will do exactly what you want to do.

I am self taught on QuickBooks.. and it could easily handle what you are asking and a whole lot more (for later). What came to mind reading your post is think big but take small steps. He may not be computer literate but if this initial step works out well, he might bite for more. You could compare prices of software programs and spend a little more getting something like QuickBooks but think about this...

Down the road, if what you get doesn't import into something bigger easily, then its more than money that you'll be out too.

We write an average of 20 orders a day. The order form needs 3 copies (office, customer/delivery, pickup. 36 fields, 8 products. The data must be very secure because it will have the customer's credit card. I don't think a spreadsheet will work. Thanks
