BEAUTIFUL SOFTWARE.

Custom FileMaker solutions and powerful databases

Change Doesn’t Have to Hurt

In fact, we believe that change can feel good. Great, even! Gone are the days when you needed a dozen programs and methods to run your business. We say good riddance!

With FileMaker, you can streamline your entire business from your clients to your invoicing to your inventory to your suppliers and back. You can store meticulous records without the headache of sorting through file cabinets for one report from six years ago. You can have a system that automatically generates your invoicing and stores a copy so you always know what you’re sending out, when you were paid, and who you need to contact to order more supplies.

You can have a software solution that does exactly what you need exactly how you want it. You don’t have to settle for off-the-shelf programs that have as many unhelpful features as they have useful ones. You don’t have to settle for a development team that tells you what you need instead of listening to you. You don’t have to settle, period.

With FileMaker, we offer custom software development that will work from day one and that will grow with you as a business.

FileMaker is…

…Quick to Develop

Many custom software projects need to go through two primary development stages, one to structure the back end and one to assemble the front end with code. But FileMaker has a graphic interface for design, which greatly reduces the time and resources needed in the development phase.

…Flexible & Adaptable

While many software packages are rigid in structure and design, a database built using FileMaker can be adjusted and adapted endlessly. You can create new reports, layouts, even entirely new functionality without the hassle of dissecting current source code.

…Compatible (Yes! With That!)

FileMaker integrates with many different systems, including SQL. It can extract the data from other systems and then create timely reports on key aspects of the business that are not available in those “legacy” systems.

…In the Palm of your Hand

The most recent version of FileMaker has options and scripting set up specifically to encourage and support users of all kinds, including mobile users. FileMaker can be developed for and displayed in web browsers or in native apps on your iPhone, iPad or Android device.

…In the Cloud

FileMaker databases can be stored using cloud storage, making it available anywhere with an internet connection. Now users in different rooms, buildings, and countries can access their database securely.

…Comprehensive

FileMaker has integrated the presentation layer, the business logic layer and the relational database behavior into one complete Database Management Software solution. This means that you aren’t going to need to hunt down data, FileMaker can show you want to know, where you want it and whenever you’d like!

…Ready for Complexity

Many of our clients require comprehensive solutions. FileMaker’s fully relational database system can be utilized to create extremely complex solutions if needed. Because of its ability to quickly expand to incorporate additional requirements, we have been able to design software that grows with our clients.

…Popular for a Reason

FileMaker is highly in-demand for companies and groups looking for a system that will run flawlessly for years and that will free them up to grow and increase workplace efficiency.

The Roadmap of a Project

Custom Web Publishing

With FileMaker’s API, we can create websites that are powerful and user-friendly. Your staff can access a FileMaker Custom Web Publishing solution securely and easily, and a website tied to a FileMaker database is an excellent way to handle high user traffic and in-depth processes without crashing or freezing.

Web Application Development

Computing and software are constantly improving, and as mobile apps become a greater focus for companies of all sizes, FileMaker is excellently positioned to provide functionality and design for your application, as well as a platform for rapid development and deployment.

System Optimization

If you already have a FileMaker database but it doesn’t suit your needs, give us a call! We can redesign the look and functionality of your software and we can even work to eliminate corruptions in your data or database file.

Training & Education

There’s a classic adage that if you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a night, but if you teach him to fish, he’ll be able to feed himself for the rest of his life. That’s a philosophy that we embrace. If, in addition to creating or revamping a software solution, you want to learn more than just the basics of FileMaker, we offer one-on-one training that will equip you to work at maximum efficiency.

Repair & Rescue

Sometimes a project doesn’t come together in the way it should. If you have a system unsuited to your needs, or even an incomplete or unpolished program, we can step in and help to salvage your software and turn it into a success story for you.

Business Consultation

 We’ve been developing software solutions since 1993. That’s a long time! As a result, we’ve learned the questions to ask and the considerations necessary to making your process and your workflow efficient and easy. We make software to make your work more profitable, but we can also help you by analyzing your business and how it can improve as well.

Integration & Migration

The internet has made the marketplace a truly global experience. Unfortunately, not every program speaks the right language to communicate with other softwares. FileMaker can seamlessly integrate with other software solutions to bring in accurate data every time.

 Ongoing Enhancements

If you have an image for your company in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years and you know that your software will need to grow and adapt to your expand business, we can offer an ongoing improvement retainer structure to ensure that your software will grow with you, will gain new functionality as you need it, and remain consistent and effective every step of the way.
