FileMaker Projects & Case Studies

This section of our web site is dedicated to providing a representative cross-section the FileMaker development work that we have completed for our clients.  (Please note that in most instances, we are constrained from providing company or organization names by confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements.)

Land Development Company
This application was created to allow this company to track all aspects of land development, including parcel acquisition, zoning, clearing & grading, installation of utilities, platting, street installation, and sales to homebuilders or commercial developers. Part of the application included a similar functionality to Microsoft Project, as it allows our client to set up various tasks, assign them time frames, conditions precedent, etc., and then monitor the progress of each project and changes in the final completion time attributable to delays in various tasks included of the process. The application also includes a financial element that tracks loan drawdowns and repayments, and also includes a section to track subcontractors and their performance on various jobs.
Fortune 500 Real Estate Services Application
This FileMaker application helped a diversified real estate services company to track all aspects of its commercial real estate services business.  Its function included tracking all jobs, job revenues and costing; management and tracking of customers and contacts; performance assessment of associates; performance, licensing and insurance status of contractors; invoicing; report generation; and more.  The system was used by approximately 150 simultaneous users across a dispersed geographic area and was hosted by FileMaker Server in conjunction with Citrix XenServer.
Retail Jewelry Application
This application was created to help a retail / online jeweler keep track of all aspects of its business.  This includes inventory by item type and component, repairs and status thereof, consignment items, sales & returns, sales taxes, customer lists, purchases, payment of bills and invoices, and more. It also generates barcode tags using a Zebra printer specially configured for generating jewelry tags, and handheld scanners are used to record sales, take inventory, etc. We are in the process of creating special layouts for use on iPhone / iPod Touch devices in conjunction with FileMaker Go to allow salespeople untethered access to the database across their various showrooms.
Architectural Firm Management
This application is used by an architectural firm to track and manage all elements of its projects, including communications with clients, contractors and governmental authorities; documents generated; change orders and status; dealings with subcontractors; etc. This application is unique in that it was the first we developed to use a sliding menu on the left similar to that found in Microsoft Outlook to make navigation easier.
International Relief Agency
This application was created to assist an international relief agency in its efforts to distribute medicines to treat parasites and diseases in less developed countries around the globe.  Specifically, it is used to collect and analyze population and incidence data submitted by ministries of health and non-governmental organizations, recommend and approve distributions of the medicine by region in each country, notify the provider of the medicine of their supply needs and schedules, and monitor the ongoing treatment efforts and their effectiveness over a series of years.
Veterinary Medicine Packaging Application
This application was created to facilitate management of packaging development for veterinary medicines.  The database allows for tracking of the department's various projects and along with their current status, including storing PDF and other images of the packaging, keeping up with approval status from both inside and outside the company, and tracking communications with various other departments (e.g., sales, marketing, etc.) to ensure that information included on the packaging is complete and accurate.
