It sounds like you're running with your breaks on, because of the software issue. So, finding someone who can make the software work right can at least remove that obstacle from your business.
For this, I would hire an experienced developer who can look at the current solutions you are using, the third-party product + your low-code solutions. If you find a good developer, they can at least design a product that integrates the functionalities from your 2 existing solutions. Even better if they understand User Experience.
Another good sign is if they want to build it in a "boring" technology. Java would be a good choice, because it's robust and also because it's easy to hire for it in Europe.
Frankly, for starters, you need Design + Frontend + Backend + Infra. You either get one person for each, or a person that does the first two and another for the last two.
Also, I recommend doing a fixed-rate project with milestones. You can use a generous budget (50k - 100k), depending on the complexity of the software. This way it's in the best interest of the people you hire to deliver on time. You release payments when features are delivered and meet standards.

One more thing, which I think is very important. If you build the software right, it can become a force multiplier and enable your company.
