The idea is to gather data about certain characteristics of the companies infraesructures (heigh, maintainance stuff, photos etc) and after processing them upload them to a cloud service where they can login and search for a particular property and see its characteristics and charts and maybe some recomendations of maintenance supported by photos.

The term "cloud service" is a little misunderstood. it's more of a marketing term for "something on the web that you can use to store data".

The reason it's clear and simply, PHP is decreasing with time. I am PYTHONISTA, and that's why I recommend Python a lot. Also it's really efficient (organize, easy to DEBUGG) as a programming language. In overall, I recommend Python or Ruby to be more specific.
