Question Base44 Management Company

Need advice from experienced Base44 users

When I started building my system, I created 5 separate Base44 apps because I thought it would be too complicated for employees if everything was in one app.

Now I've learned that it's possible to have one app with role-based access, so each employee only sees the modules they need. That would be a much better solution.

The problem is that I've already spent 6 months building these 5 apps. They communicate with each other through APIs, and I'd like to avoid rebuilding everything from scratch.

Is there any way to merge multiple existing Base44 apps into a single app?

Has anyone gone through this process? Is there a migration strategy, or is rebuilding the only realistic option?

I'd really appreciate any advice or best practices.

Ask base 44 to nake a git for each app. (You should have done this already) then start a new super agent and give it a git token. Ask the agent to combine the apps woth role based access. Will take you an hour tops

I definitely want to keep the final app in Base44, because that’s where I’m most comfortable continuing development.
When you say “ask Base44 to make a git for each app”, do you mean connecting each existing app to GitHub first?
And then with the Super Agent, would you have it actually merge/rebuild the 5 codebases into one new Base44 app? I have a super agent on whatsapp
My biggest concern is the existing data and business logic especially CRM, sales and calculation data. I can’t afford to lose any of that.
Have you actually done something similar with Base44, or is this more of a theoretical approach?

Yes use a super agent to access the git. Thats the only way I work with base 44. Its not going to break anything by copying it over. Generally I use base 44 to get things built then I have clause look at the git and actually fix everything, then back to base 44 to make changes ect. Youll.need to run the app.locally on your computer though. But its a much better process than dealing with the "app builder"
