Why FileMaker
A professional low-code platform for business applications
FileMaker unites database, logic and interface in one environment, so custom applications can be built and adapted quickly.
- Fast results. Working systems in weeks, not months.
- Flexible. Easy to evolve as your needs change.
- Integrated. Connects with APIs, SQL databases and cloud systems.
- Cost-effective. High value with lower long-term costs.
FileMaker or a web app?
FileMaker is excellent for internal business processes. It is not the best fit for large public web platforms or e-commerce sites. If you need a customer-facing platform at scale, a web application is usually the better choice.
We build both, so our advice is not tied to one technology.

FAQ
FileMaker questions, answered
What is Claris FileMaker used for?
FileMaker is a low-code platform that combines database, logic and interface. It is used to build custom business applications for managing data, automating workflows and solving specific operational problems.
Can you take over a FileMaker solution someone else built?
Yes. We review the solution, document how it works, fix performance or structure issues, and then maintain and extend it.
Can FileMaker connect to other systems?
Yes. We integrate FileMaker with APIs, SQL databases, email, calendars, payment and messaging services, and cloud systems.
Where can FileMaker Server be hosted?
We configure and optimize FileMaker Server both locally and in the cloud, including environments such as AWS and Contabo.
When should we consider moving from FileMaker to a web app?
FileMaker is not the best fit for large public web platforms or e-commerce sites. If you need that, or a customer-facing portal at scale, a web application can be the better choice. We offer 3 hours of free migration consultation to assess it.

Rated 5.0 out of 5
Nihad was very skilled, professional and timely with the project with the complex functionality that we needed for a FileMaker/javascript API project that we needed. We enabled a Google calendar API pull/push within a project that was done on time and in good fashion.
