Data Archiving

Keep today's workspace fast while last decade's jobs stay searchable

Historical quotes, orders, drawings and financial records archive automatically to compliant storage — performance stays sharp and auditors still find 2019's façade job.

Automated archival for performance, compliance and long-term clarity.

Planned - not generally available
Database archiving system retaining historical window fabrication records in secure compliant storage

Growing data slows every screen — deleting history isn't an option

Ten years of jobs live in production tables until Monday morning search takes thirty seconds and backups grow painful.

Without database archiving

  • Workspace search timeouts frustrate reps during busy showroom hours.
  • Backup windows extend into production shifts.
  • Warranty lookups dig through exports because old jobs were 'cleaned up'.
  • Compliance retention is a policy PDF nobody enforces in software.

With database archiving

  • Cold records move to archive tiers with indexed retrieval paths.
  • Active tables stay lean; UI responsiveness holds under load.
  • Warranty and reclamation teams pull closed-job packets on demand.
  • Retention rules automate what stays online, what moves, what purges.

When history weighs down production

  • Quote search during a site visit spins while customer waits.
  • IT restricts reporting because ad-hoc queries hammer the database.
  • GDPR or retention requests need manual SQL — risky and slow.
  • Merged acquisitions bring duplicate decade of junk into one instance.
  • Dispute on a 2021 install — nobody can find the signed variation.

When archive is structured

  • Policy-driven archival by age, status and document type.
  • Transparent retrieve: users search archive like active data.
  • Legal hold flags block purge on litigated jobs.
  • Compression and tiering reduce storage cost predictably.
  • Audit log of archive, restore and purge events.
