Businesses of all types and sizes use FileMaker and the rest of the Claris platform to build custom business applications. A FileMaker consulting team with deep experience on the platform can serve as a significant business partner then, providing your business with solutions tailored specifically for your operations and workflows. Well-designed applications keep all of your information in one central location and help you manage customer data and inventory.
More specifically, FileMaker consultants can help you boost efficiency and streamline workflows in the following ways:
Workflow Analysis
We start by analyzing your business workflows to find inefficiencies and bottlenecks in your business processes. Once we identify these inefficiencies, our consultants use FileMaker to redesign your workflows to eliminate unnecessary steps and create strategic shortcuts in your operational flow. We help you improve your efficiency while also optimizing your user experience.
Custom Functionality
Streamlining workflows in a unique business, of course, requires leveraging custom platform functionality. Our FileMaker consultants help you design and develop apps made specifically for your business and its requirements by customizing the functionality and features the Claris platform already offers.
Modernizing Legacy Systems
As FileMaker has been around for decades, we often come across organizations with older infrastructure and architecture. This technical debt can significantly slow a business down, but the hurdle also often feels insurmountable. Our team can build an approachable and achievable plan for modernization and then upgrade your existing business applications with cost-effective and scalable infrastructure. Following new architecture, functionality, features, and UX, your tried-and-true application can completely transform your business by improving efficiency, integration, and collaboration.
Web Portal Development
FileMaker is even more powerful when made available online. Web portals connected to your application automate data collection and sharing while eliminating manual data entry, which reduces the chance of human error. You can also launch a web portal that performs specific tasks, such as allowing users to enter information directly into your FileMaker application. Or, you can automate routine tasks, such as document approvals, to streamline self-service processes and improve overall productivity within your organization. Our FileMaker consultants and developers have launched dozens of custom strategic portals, empowering our clients to connect with their employees, customers, and partners. We can help you do the same.
Seamless Integration
FileMaker makes it easy to integrate with other business applications and often even serves as the technology core for companies. All data feeds into the platform can be managed and analyzed there in one place, significantly simplifying and streamlining both your internal and external workflows. Our consultants can optimize your integrations to help you get the most out of your applications and services. We can help you connect FileMaker with plugins and software such as Adobe PDF, MySQL, MailChimp, QuickBooks, and more.
Automated Business Processes
FileMaker’s flexibility allows our consultants to automate many of your business processes. We can connect your databases to other software programs to help you automate certain time-consuming or tedious tasks. This includes easily generating invoices and receipts or automating signature capture for contracts. Automating these processes reduces or eliminates manual errors in many of your business processes and allows you to allocate time and resources to other areas of your business.
