Our FileMaker development process

Our certified Claris FileMaker development team use a tried and tested approach that ensures you get a bespoke FileMaker system that’s right for your business.

At the start, our FileMaker development team spend a great deal of time with you to understand your business inside out, asking questions of people throughout the organisation until we have a thorough understanding of what you do, how you do it and why. During this process we also identify what your problems are and where they occur. Then we set out to design a system that will not only solve those problems but also help kickstart a process of business transformation.

Designing, developing and implementing your Claris FileMaker solution will usually take place in stages. This minimises disruption and means you can keep serving your customers while our Claris FileMaker development services solve your business challenges.

Why would you want a FileMaker system?

Your business has its own unique ways of working but the lack of a powerful software solution that fits your workflows could be starting to hold you back. A bespoke Claris FileMaker system is an ideal solution – a direct match for your processes, so closely aligned that it’s intuitive for your people to use, and one which integrates with any other software you need to use. This is the key to business transformation.

Take a look at systems our award-winning team have developed for our clients to meet their business goals.
