Get out of Microsoft Access
and keep every record and workflow intact.

We start by reviewing the database, tables, forms, reports, VBA logic and integrations, then provide a fixed-price quote before any work begins. Lightweight replacements (mostly data migration + a few forms) sit at the lower end of project size. Medium systems with VBA logic, multiple reports and integrations are larger. Large, complex Access systems with extensive VBA and workflow logic run higher again.

Usually a modern web application backed by SQL Server or PostgreSQL. It keeps the workflows your team already uses, but removes the file corruption, single-user bottlenecks, remote access issues, and 2GB limit that come with Access. In simpler cases, a SaaS product may fit. In more customised cases, a tailored web app is the better replacement.

Simple databases: 4 to 8 weeks. Medium complexity: 8 to 14 weeks. Complex systems with extensive VBA and integrations: 14 to 24 weeks. Timeline depends on the number of forms, reports, and the complexity of your business logic.

Sometimes a staged upgrade makes sense, especially if you need to preserve workflows while modernising the database and interface in steps. But if the current Access file is business-critical, multi-user, remote, or corruption-prone, a proper replacement is usually the safer long-term path. We will tell you which option makes more commercial sense after reviewing the database.

We design the replacement to feel familiar. The same data entry workflows, similar screen layouts, and the same terminology. The web interface is simpler and more modern, but the learning curve is minimal. We provide training and documentation.

All data is migrated to the new database. Every record. We clean inconsistencies during migration (duplicate records, formatting issues, orphaned references). The old Access database is archived, not deleted. You can always reference it.

Yes. VBA business logic is translated to server-side code (PHP/Laravel or C#/.NET depending on the stack). Calculations, validation rules, conditional logic, and automation are all preserved. Complex VBA is the main variable in project scope.

We run the old and new systems in parallel during testing. Your team verifies everything works before we switch. The transition is planned for a quiet period (weekend or end of day). The old Access database remains available as a fallback. Risk is managed, not eliminated, but we have never had a failed migration.

Sometimes. If your Access database is a simple CRM, an off-the-shelf CRM is probably better and cheaper. If it is a basic inventory system, tools like DEAR or Cin7 might work. But if your Access database has custom workflows, unique business rules, and specific reporting, custom development is the right path. We will tell you honestly which approach suits.

Yes, if needed. We can build offline-capable Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) for field teams who need data entry without internet connectivity. Data syncs when connectivity returns. This is common for inspection and field service applications.
