The challenge
Three plants shared one Access front-end over VPN. Latency and locking made data entry unreliable; leadership wanted browser access without rebuilding everything.
Our solution
We phased migration: SQL backend first, then a lightweight web app for production entry, with Access retained for finance and management reports during transition.
Results
Shop-floor entry works on tablets without VPN file locks
Leadership dashboards unchanged in trusted Access reports
Rollout completed plant-by-plant without downtime
