When customers, orders and stock stop fitting in a spreadsheet, you don't need a database server or a monthly SaaS bill. BPA1 Personal is free, runs on your own PC, and your business data stays exactly where it belongs — with you.
Customers, orders and order lines in related tables, with data-entry forms and full-text search. Import your existing customer list straight from Excel with the import wizard — bad rows come back with the reason.
"Track my customers and their orders with order lines, status and delivery dates, and let me search everything quickly."
A quote register with line items and status. When a quote is accepted, an automation creates the job record, and a professional PDF report gives you something to send the customer.
"A quoting system where accepted quotes automatically become jobs, with a printable PDF quote I can email to the customer."
Products, suppliers and stock levels with a "below reorder point" saved query. A scheduled automation runs it and emails you the reorder list — no more surprise stockouts.
"An inventory register with products, suppliers and reorder points, emailing me a weekly list of anything below its reorder level."
Build the app, design a simple menu — "New booking", "Today's jobs", "End-of-day report" — and flip on Run mode. Staff see only the menu you designed, not the builder.
"A booking system for my workshop with a simple menu for staff: new booking, today's jobs, and an end-of-day summary report."
Your whole business app is one .bpa1 file — back it up like a document, and the data inside is standard SQLite you can always get at.
