Custom Development

Are you considering a new application for your organization? Or, converting from an older, dated system built in prior versions of FileMaker, Access, or you-name-it? If so, we can help you plan and execute a successful project development strategy.

At Desktop Services, we approach development in a highly iterative manner, similar to Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology. Our experience proves it’s far more cost effective to avoid long drawn out requirements studies or extensive project  pre-planning. Our clients appreciate significant time and cost savings benefits of our successful, RAD approach.

We generally place a limited, or beta solution in the hands of our clients early in the development process, then ‘phase’ in additional capabilities and features. This allows us to more closely mirror the natural workflow processes of a client. Users grow into their new solution comfortably, rather than having everything dropped on them at once.

Every client project is unique. And, the evolution of the FileMaker product line allows us to create better, and more efficient solutions to meet your business needs. But, whenever possible, we draw from the experiences in our past projects. Here’s a sampling:

Contact Management

Job Management

Calendaring

Scheduling

Time Tracking

Inventory Management

Personnel Management

Product Catalog

Internet Sales

Order Fulfillment

Invoicing

Purchase Orders

Warranty Claims

Recruiting

Asset Management

Quote Generation

These are very common systems within many organizations. We have also been able to help businesses with much more unique needs. I’m confident we can help you with yours. Call us for a free consultation.
