Darin... Interesting project....
Web2py is a great solution platform..... Your process model is not clear to me... That said... One key advantage of Web2py is the database abstraction layer (DAL).. You can try many different approaches and any of the supported database systems with very little effort. So, just keep working the problem and asking questions..
