Here’s exactly what changes when you convert your Access database:
This is the #1 question we get. Most Access databases have custom VBA code handling business logic, calculations, validations, and workflows.
Here’s our process:
Your business rules don’t change. The technology does. The VBA that took you years to perfect gets translated, not lost.
This isn’t our first time. Here’s our proven 6-step process:
We reverse-engineer everything – tables, queries, forms, reports, VBA code, relationships. We document it all so nothing gets lost in translation.
We sit with your team to understand how they actually use the system. Not what the documentation says – how it really works.
We rebuild your system as a web application (Laravel + React). Same workflows, better technology. We improve what makes sense, preserve what works.
Every record, every relationship, every piece of data. We test, validate, and verify. Zero data loss, we guarantee it.
Both systems run side-by-side. Your team tests the new system without disrupting daily work. When you’re ready, we switch.
We train your team on the new system. We stay available until everyone is comfortable. No “good luck, you’re on your own.”
Converting Access databases since before it was a problem:
Access your data from any device, any location. Office, home, coffee shop, job site. Just need internet.
Your whole team works simultaneously. No more waiting for someone to finish so you can get in.
Handle millions of records without slowing down. No more hitting the 2GB wall and linking external tables.
User permissions, activity logging, encrypted connections. Know who did what, when. Actually protect sensitive data.
Connect to your CRM, accounting software, e-commerce platform. API access for anything you need.
Works on phones and tablets. The field team can update data in real-time instead of waiting to get back to the office.
Heartland For Children managed their annual toy donation program (600+ foster children, 200+ donors, 50+ volunteers) in an Access database for 15+ years. It worked – but barely:
We converted their Access database to a Laravel web application with:
They went from managing 600 kids with 3 staff on one computer to managing 800+ kids with a distributed team working from multiple locations simultaneously.
Event day coordination went from chaos to smooth. Volunteer check-in dropped from 5 minutes per person to under 30 seconds. Remote work finally became possible.

Most conversions take 6-12 weeks from start to launch. Simple databases (10-20 tables, minimal VBA) can be faster. Complex systems with heavy VBA code and business logic take longer. We’ll give you an exact timeline after reviewing your database.
We document every VBA function and rebuild the logic in modern code (PHP/Laravel for backend, JavaScript for frontend). Your business rules stay the same – we just translate them to technology that will last another 10+ years. Nothing gets lost.
No. We migrate 100% of your data and validate every record. We run both systems in parallel until you’re confident everything is correct. Zero data loss – we guarantee it.
Absolutely. You keep working in Access until cutover day. Zero disruption to daily operations. When the new system is ready and tested, we make the switch.
Projects typically range from $15,000 to $50,000+ depending on complexity. Simple databases with minimal VBA are on the lower end. Complex systems with heavy business logic are higher. The free assessment will give you an accurate quote based on your specific database.
We rebuild your reports in the new system. Some become dynamic dashboards, some stay as printable PDFs, some become both. We’ll figure out what makes most sense for each report based on how you actually use it.
We include one round of revisions before launch. After that, we’re available for ongoing support and enhancements on an ad-hoc hourly basis. Most clients keep us around because we know the system better than anyone.
Yes. All code and data are yours. If you ever want to move to a different host or take development in-house, you can. No lock-in, no gotchas.
We’ll analyze your current system and show you exactly what conversion would look like – timeline, cost, what happens to your VBA code. No obligation, no sales pressure.
Less Chaos. More Clients. Real Systems.
