Mobile FileMaker solutions for teams in the field
Field teams lose time when they have to remember details and type them up back at the office. We build mobile FileMaker solutions that let technicians, inspectors and sales staff capture information where the work happens, with or without a signal.
Paperwork that happens twice
Inspection sheets, delivery notes and service reports are still often filled in on paper or in a generic notes app and re-entered later. That delay causes errors, slows invoicing and leaves managers without a live picture of what is happening on site. A mobile app tied to your central FileMaker system closes the loop the moment a job is completed.
What we build for mobile
FileMaker Go layouts
Touch-first screens for iPhone and iPad, separate from desktop layouts so each device gets the right density.
Offline capture and sync
Work continues without connectivity and synchronises with the server when a connection returns.
Device features
Photos, barcode scanning, signatures and location captured straight into records.
Cross-platform options
Where Android support is required, a web app or a cross-platform framework such as Flutter.
Common mobile workflows
- Service and maintenance reports with photos and customer sign-off
- Site inspections and safety checklists
- Stock counts and warehouse picking with barcode scanning
- Sales visits with quotes generated on the spot
Results field teams notice
- No double entry
- Data is captured once, on site, and is available to the office immediately after sync.
- Faster billing
- Completed jobs can flow straight into invoicing.
- Better records
- Photos, timestamps and signatures attached to the right job remove disputes.
Before you start
- FileMaker Go runs on iOS and iPadOS only; Android users need a browser-based or cross-platform route.
- Offline sync requires careful conflict rules when two people edit the same record.
- Device management (MDM) makes rolling out and updating the app much easier at scale.
