Creating an order processing system from magento?

Question

I want to create a small order processing website, but in time I want the application to be able to extend to an e-commerce solution as well. So I decided to go with magento.

But I am not sure, if magento can be stripped down to only an order processing system. By order processing I want:

• Guests should be able select products
• Should be able to add products to cart
• But at last, instead of processing the order by payment system, the order should be forwarded to email of administrators, who will contact them individually.

How to configure Magento this way??

Here is a full tutorial with all the files you will need, ready to download:

This does mark orders with the code 'free', however, you words are our servants and not our masters and you could change the word free to 'telesale' (or whatever):

...the basic idea of removing any step from checkout is to see a set a default value for that step, so that magento order processing runs smoothly. So when removing the payment method step, i have set the payment method “Zero Subtotal Checkout” with code “free” as the default payment method.
