Your FileMaker system, supported and modernised
Critical business systems deserve better than slow decay. We develop, support and extend FileMaker Pro databases, integrate them with the web, and when you are ready, convert them to modern web applications with your data intact.
Three ways we help FileMaker businesses
Whether your system needs a safe pair of hands, a bridge to the web, or a full conversion, the path starts with understanding what you have.
Takeover and care
The developer who built your system has moved on and the database still runs your business. Unsupported versions get no security patches. We take over orphaned FileMaker systems, stabilise them, and remove the key-person risk first.
Integration and sync
FileMaker connected to your website, online store, customer portal and cloud services. Back office and customer-facing systems finally in step, without heavy licensing costs.
Conversion to the web
Outgrowing FileMaker? We convert sluggish databases into fast, modern web applications: better for multiple locations, remote teams, and patchy connectivity. Every record intact.
Modernise it, then make it pay
Your FileMaker database already holds years of customers, orders and prices. Once it is modernised, that same data starts earning: an agent that flags the accounts whose ordering rhythm has slipped, win-back lists ranked by past spend, and reporting that shows which customers and products actually make you money. The conversion is not just a safer system. It is the revenue engine your data has been waiting to become.
Why FileMaker still earns its place
FileMaker Pro remains a versatile, cross-platform database tool known for rapid development and flexibility. For many businesses it is the system that grew up with them. We maximise what it already does well: insightful analysis, comprehensive reporting, workflow automation and tailored business intelligence, and we plan the next step only when it benefits you.
