Based on a general knowledge of OFBiz, but no knowledge of your
particular implementation I would say yes it is certainly possible,
but how much work is necessary to change the system to support it is
another question.

You're best bet for questions like this is usually either your service
provider, or hiring another service provider to do some "forensics".
Unfortunately many implementations have so many custom changes that
not only is it hard for people if they don't know which version or
revision of OFBiz you are using, but also not knowing what changes
have been made and how this was implemented.
You might get some helpful comments from others on the mailing list
here, but in general my guess is that almost no one has adequate
knowledge of your particular situation to answer this (unless your
service provider is listening in).
One advantage of using something like OFBiz, especially if your
contract with your service provider gives you full rights to the
custom code they write for you, is that it is easy from a technical
point of view to move from one service provider to another. However,
there are many issues that go beyond the technical ones that can make
that a fairly painful experience, so I don't envy your position!
Best of luck,
