What if every email about a client showed up right on that client's record? Replies, attachments, and full conversation history, all in the place your team already works.

Critical PHP updates are out, and now is the time to protect your FileMaker data. 🔒

PHP can stay on a FileMaker Server long after an upgrade and often powers the websites and forms connected to your data.

Our latest blog shows you how to find it, which updates to install, and how to request a complimentary FileMaker Health Check from our team for further checks on the applications you're running.

The best time to change your software is before it’s built. That’s why we design and prototype every custom app in Figma first. 🧑‍💻

You see the screens, click through the workflow, and leave feedback right on the design while changes are still quick and inexpensive. By the time we start coding, everyone knows exactly what we’re building.

See our full design process, from first sketch to developer handoff:

What if every invoice that landed in your inbox became a FileMaker record on its own?

With Azure Document Intelligence, it can.

The service extracts invoice data and sends it straight to FileMaker, so your team spends less time keying in numbers and more time acting on them. It's fast, you pay only for the pages you process, and the free tier lets you test it in your real workflow first.

Our latest article walks through the full setup, from creating your Azure resource to the scripts that bring the data home.
