If there is only one "supervisor" doing this, it may not be
difficult...

But if there are multiple data collectors, with the creation of
multiple new records (rather than updates made to previous records --
since it is unlikely multiple collectors would be updating the same
record -- think utility meter reading), synching the new records might
be a problem unless some GUID/OID system is used to differentiate the
records.
