Creating your ideal FileMaker system

You may come to us after spending a couple of years of using FileMaker and trying to get your FileMaker database up and running and now need expert help getting it to the point where it does everything you want it to – or may want to upgrade to a new system with all the capabilities and possibilities that FileMaker offers.

At Decent Group we can work with you on a large or small project, to develop or enhance your existing FileMaker Pro, Go or WebDirect system.

Our developers can also support you if the employee who worked on the FileMaker database has left or become too busy, or your corporate IT department has inherited a FileMaker system but doesn’t have the capacity (or perhaps the specific skills) to ensure it’s stable, or develop it. Our FileMaker expertise spans FileMaker apps, stock control management, CRM, ERP, MRP, order processing, email management, forecasting, reporting, inspections and much more.

New FileMaker implementation

At Decent Group we can also help if you’re not yet using the FileMaker application – you may be seeking a system where you could bring all your processes together into one place, introduce mobile capability through a custom FileMaker app, or feel your FileMaker system isn’t capable of being upgraded to meet your current and projected requirements.

If you have a complex project and need fast turnaround time, contact us today, for a custom new build or even training and mentoring in FileMaker. If you’re coming to FileMaker from another system such as Access, Excel or SQL, please see our Migrate to FileMaker page.

Custom FileMaker CRM, MRP or apps

Our focus is on looking after you and your business and creating a system that’s bespoke to you. In fact, that’s our specialism. Each of our clients has unique needs and challenges and our mission is to create a process and system that makes their operation more efficient, whether that’s a FileMaker CRM or FileMaker MRP or other custom build.

If you are carrying out processes such as stock takes using paper or Excel documents, or have engineers or salespeople in the field then you could well benefit from a FileMaker app which includes inventory and invoicing. We’ll build your FileMaker system to meet your exact needs.

FileMaker sync

One of the many features offered by the FileMaker platform is the ability to use an offline version of your database, then sync your data with the live version. Perhaps you work somewhere where there is no wi-fi or phone signal but you still need access to the data in your database. We can build you an on the go version of your FileMaker database which pulls down whatever data you require, allows you to access and modify it on the move without an internet connection, then pushes your changes back up to your database when you next have an internet connection. Contact us today to find out how FileMaker database syncing can work for you.

Bespoke FileMaker tablet and smartphone apps

FileMaker Pro allows the building of easy to use, feature-rich desktop applications for Windows and Mac. FileMaker Pro is also the development tool for building superb mobile apps which are then accessed on FileMaker Go.

As a FileMaker app provider, we are experienced in building mobile apps accessible on the desktop using FileMaker Pro, on iOS using FileMaker Go, and over the web using both FileMaker WebDirect and FileMaker PHP API which allows data from your FileMaker system to be displayed on your web pages and fully compatible with PC, Mac, Apple or Android mobile devices. The FileMaker PHP API also allows your FileMaker apps to integrate with your other systems and processes. As an Apple subsidiary you’d expect the FileMaker iOS apps for iPad and iPhone to be best in class and our developers can create mobile custom apps matched exactly to your business needs.

Your field workers may have a long list of variables they need to measure, check, write notes against or attach photographs as evidence – with a custom FileMaker development we can ensure that all those are captured without resorting to fiddly additional forms or appendices, direct from a FileMaker mobile app.
