Product Description

The FileMaker Platform is a Workplace Innovation Platform that allows problem solvers to create, share, and integrate custom apps that work seamlessly across iPad, iPhone, Windows, Mac, and the web.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Most packaged apps have A.) Rigid Design that does not fit your unique business needs; B.) Complexity, meaning more functionality than you need so you're paying for unused features; C.) Don't integrate with external data and therefore create information silos.

Custom apps created with the Claris platform are:
Flexible - they do exactly what you want them to do
Right-Sized - cost effective and you only pay for what you need
Integrated - Easy to integrate with existing business systems

Quickly create and run solutions that work seamlessly across iPad, iPhone, Windows, Mac and the web.

What do you like best about Claris FileMaker?

FileMaker is an extremely versatile, user/developer friendly, and comprehensive platform.

I've used FileMaker for many decades as a tool to help with data manipulation, internal IT apps, and back-office type functions. The value of FileMaker is the quick-turn, low-code solutions you can create and provide quick value to your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
