#FILEMAKER PRO 14 REVIEWS MANUAL#

This was previously a manual process and calculation which took more than an hour to gather and process. Importing Trados project translation data the project management database, allowing the invoicing, translator payments and project data to be easily calculated. The database(s) handles everything from employees, customers, timesheets, project management, invoicing, subletting workstations (they also ran a small office hotel).Ī lot of functions were built into the databases to offload a lot of manual tasks to the scripts.

The licensing is server and client based and there is also a subscription based license to be paid annually.įantastic prototyping and database systemĪt my old job at a translation company, I built an entire 'company management system' from scratch over the course of 10 years.

#FILEMAKER PRO 14 REVIEWS UPGRADE#

These updates make Filemaker better each round, for instance the latest upgrade introduces sensory perception for IOS devices and a new administration console.įinally, the development and implementation costs of Filemaker Pro applications are very low compared to enterprise database solutions making it really attractive for SMB. The applications that I've build with Filemaker run for 10+ years already on a Filemaker Server multi site environment and is in use by 25+ people on a daily basis.įilemaker is regularly updated (major versions usually once a year) which introduces new features. Another nice thing is that database applications can easily be integrated with mobile platforms.įilemaker applications can be hosted online (cloud), on premise on Filemaker Server and locally on the Filemaker client.

Personally I think anyone who's willing to dedicated some time for training is able to become a Filemaker Developer. Building lay outs is as easy as drag and drop and doesn't require extensive design skills or knowledge of secondary technologies such as HTML/CSS/JavaScript. The nicest thing about Filemaker Pro is that you built the database structure, scripts and layouts in the same application. They can just open the app and see what they've accomplished.įilemaker Pro allows you to prototype and built database production grade applications fast. No longer are those in charge wondering what their subordinates are doing. In an app that tracks trouble requests, a log is created to show all that the tech people do to facilitate repair issues. Our users are happier and excited about bringing the qualifiers of the data to light so they can justify their work.

#FILEMAKER PRO 14 REVIEWS SOFTWARE#

I love how as a developer we can see our users appreciate the software because it makes their jobs easier and gives them the sense that they can concentrate on other things rather than the record keeping. Now we simply hit a button and the reports are done.

It is so much better than trying to find the data from their individual reports and then creating the reports on a monthly basis. We use the data to produce a daily log of their activity and then use that data to bill our customers. Keeping Data secure and yet available to our employees gives them a sense of in control. With Filemaker's current structure, each casual worker would need their own license to make this extra functionality easily happen, which of course is prohibitively expensive.īut if that is the only drawback I can think of, then they are doing just fine!įilemaker has brought to light data service saving hours of data manipulation producing tears. With iBeacons, a safety system could also be utilised to make sure they are on patrol at a certain time in a given location. The 10 full-time employees utilise Filemaker Pro to book jobs for the part-time and casual employees, the software is also used for vetting potential new recruits, invoicing companies, and keeping a history of who has worked where, and any comments from either side about that.Īn extra function would be to allow the part-time and casual employees the ability to see part of the Filemaker database, so they could access their upcoming jobs and leave any comments. They have a full-time workforce of 10 employees, and then 400 security personnel on their books as either casual or part-time employees. Let me explain.Ĭompany A provides security guards to Clubs, Shops, Companies, etc. Enabling the use of FIlemaker on a large-scale for a small company is very difficult.
