Filemaker

Filemaker Pro is a very versatile relational database that allows you to develop smooth user-friendly applications, from production planning, inventory management, quote management, CRM, point of sale and hospitality systems to websites & webshops.

Database development

I have 20 years of experience in Filemaker Pro, starting back in version 5.5 and have always continued working with the platform. Over time, I have also learned other programming environments so that I can navigate my way in other databases and programming languages. My hourly rate is also affordable, which contributes to a good collaboration.

On this page you will find more information about what I do.

Filemaker Pro licenses and subscriptions

I can assist you in finding the most cost-effective license option most suitable for your company and situation.

Individual licenses, Filemaker Server or Filemaker Cloud, if you need more information, please contact me.

Custom application

Looking for a very specific application? With Filemaker Pro, you can build anything you can think of.

Filemaker Pro is very suitable for custom work, contact me today with your idea for an application or automation.

Update Filemaker Pro

Do you have an old Filemaker Pro application that is not running well on your PC anymore? Would you like to use the latest version but your application still needs to be converted? Converting older databases can sometimes bring a whole bunch of problems. I have been working with Filemaker Pro since version 5.5 and am also familiar with the older versions. Contact me if you need help converting a database to the latest Filemaker Pro version.

Migration from spreadsheets

Very often, the need for a database arises from a spreadsheet,

the client developed something simple in office but wants to work more easily with multiple users,

further automate, more functionality.

Filemaker Pro can be a very good solution in this case, if you find yourself in this position and indeed have a large amount of spreadsheets and would like to convert them into a database but don't know how to start?

Then be sure to contact me, I am often confronted with such problems/questions and can certainly help you with this.

Migration from Access or other databases

Some clients have existing working applications in Access or something else that does not lend itself very well to the current way of working (iPad, iPhone, web & mobile).

Filemaker Pro is an excellent tool to rebuild your "old" databases, Filemaker Pro works smoothly and the interface is very user-friendly.

Webshop & web applications

Do you have a Filemaker Pro application where you would like to build a webshop, b2b webshop, app, booking system or extranet application?

Then I can program that for you, there are many possibilities here, you can link an application with WordPress but it is also certainly possible to make parts of the database publicly accessible via the XML or data API or synchronize the Filemaker database with an SQL database.

Migration from Filemaker to SQL

Do you have a Filemaker Pro application and are you unsure if you can continue with it, do you have too many users, need a faster solution or does your application require connections that are difficult to achieve?

Then I am happy to look together with you what the best solution is, there are often solutions to make Filemaker Pro work more smoothly but if that is not the best solution (for example, a lot of users) then I can also convert the database to an SQL solution for you, due to my knowledge and experience of both systems, I can do something like that in a way that does not bring too much change for the users.

Database synchronization

If you would like to link your Filemaker Pro application to an SQL database, I can help you with this.

I developed a tool that allows for a smooth and fast synchronization of Filemaker Pro with Postgresql, this tool does not require Filemaker Server and has the ability to automatically create the fields from Filemaker Pro in Postgresql, you can also synchronize photos and container fields (which cannot be done with a regular export).

iPhone, iPod & iPad applications

Filemaker Pro works very smoothly on iOS devices, such applications are often very efficient because of the mobility and ease of use of the smartphone.

I can help you make your existing applications compatible with iOS, building something new is of course also possible.
