Your system seems to be optimized for electronic means, but I will look into it.

The spreadsheet part of our system works equally well for electronic and manual input if you want to look into it. I do remember the years when all we had was paper. It was very tedious but if you have someone who types really fast it isn't as bad. It may help to offer some sort of reward to whoever is willing to take shifts in inputting data (like dinner somewhere nice or something like that). To make it easier to input data, it is a good idea to keep the data scouted to a minimum. Figure out exactly what you and your drive team need to know and make it as simple as possible. Also set up your scouting sheets to make it as easy and as quick as possible for a person to read it and type it in (set it up in a table format).
