Not sure exactly what you mean, but if you want to put all records on a computer, maybe a spreadsheet, how is it going to deal with engineer signatures, solo authorisations, flights when it may be required to carry the tech log on the plane etc etc. I'm probably wrong but a paper based system may be the only way to do it. You may have to get CAA approval too.

Thanks for the reply,

This is purely for admin use, we currently use a paper tech log and an excel spreadsheet. We are trying to just be able to total up the figures monthly easier.

Our club has a computerized system which handles reservations, including authorizations/checkouts (but these generate warnings only, no errors so you can override if something has been put in erroneously) and it handles the aircraft problems list.

The people from the Dutch CAA have looked at it and found it fit for purpose. Although I don't know if there's a printer somewhere spitting out pages of whatever changed in the system as a paper backup.
