The sellers at craft fairs I trust most and purchase from most often are those who are sitting there making things. It's easier to match the quality of things there making against those they're selling.
It's pretty much the only way I can be assured they're not (exclusively) selling dropshipped items.

If the business relies upon that Access app, and IT refuses to accept it, then it's a failure of IT to accept it and then replace it.
IT exists to serve the business.

I'm surprised that a standard "average" credit level can't be used as a starting point, and then every transaction afterwards is a difference against that default starting point.
That is, no evidence in favour nor evidence against you.
