Our warehouse team is very attached to an Excel workbook ...

We build worksheets out of HTML and JavaScript:

http://www.radile.com/rdweb/temp/worksheet.html

we need to eliminate delays that occur in passing the
workbook to a data entry person ...

Think web applications that look and behave like worksheets as far as keyboard navigation is concerned, but data is validated & recorded in IBM i database tables the moment an [Enter] key is pressed. Calculations are performed on the server and displayed on the client.

No saving a worksheet. No conversions to other formats. No person in the middle. No parsing. No Java. Just an [Enter] key to record data in an IBM i database.
