I think your either over complicating the requirements or under estimating how long it takes to throw together a system with half a dozen tables and a a dozen views/forms. Or underestimating just how far you can get with such a simple system. Then you've got something tailored to your workflow.

But there will be a new batch sooner or later that can extend and update it.
