Custom Solution,
everywhere

With our 38 years of experience in supporting small, medium and corporate clients in various sectors, we create custom-made solutions to meet any complex requirement.

We did not create databases, we built performing workflow and multi-platform systems to work in an Organized Team.

Our holistic approach allows us to solve complex procedures by analyzing them as a whole, not breaking them into disconnected pieces.

“I Can Build It Myself”Until You Can't.

Today's AI and no-code tools make it look easy. Getting a prototype up in a weekend? Absolutely possible! But when real users start working — whether your team is 5 or 100 — that's when things break.

Security, performance, data integrity, multi-user concurrency — these are problems no tutorial teaches and no AI solves for you. They require a real developer.

“You shouldn't have to become a developer to run your business.
You should have a developer who understands your business.”

01 / AI

Reimagined with

“For nearly four decades, your FileMaker system has been the backbone of your business.
Now it can think, analyze and act alongside your team — without rebuilding what already works.”

Your FileMaker system has accumulated something more valuable than any single feature: your business logic. The way orders flow, the rules behind your pricing, the exceptions only your team remembers. Rebuilding it from scratch in some new framework would take years and erase that knowledge.

AI doesn't ask you to rebuild. Done well, it sits on top ofthe system you already trust — reading your live data, writing back through the same scripts your team already validates, surfacing insights against the schema you've spent decades refining.

The integration paths on the right cover the spectrum: frontier cloud intelligence when raw capability matters, fully on-premise inference when data residency is non-negotiable, conversational interfaces over your live database, AI-assisted code review and refactoring, and Model Context Protocol endpoints that let Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor talk directly to your data with a full audit trail.

We also wire FileMaker into the wider AI ecosystem — WordPress chatbots, custom GPTs, n8n / Make / Zapier workflows, Stripe and Xero reconciliation — all bidirectional, with FileMaker remaining the single system of record.

02 / CustomApp

Apps for

Custom web apps, high-performance hosting, multi-tenant architectures, design and engineering — built for speed, clarity and longevity, hand-rolled without framework lock-in.

The web doesn't need another framework — it needs apps that load fast, scale cleanly and don't trap your data behind someone else's vendor lock-in. We build modern web applications the way the web was meant to work: hand-rolled HTML and CSS, JavaScript only where it earns its weight, performance budgets enforced from day one.

Whether you're launching a SaaS product, replacing an aging internal tool, or finally moving off a packaged app that almost-but-not-quite fits your business, the result should be the same: an app that runs in any browser, on any device, in any country, with predictable performance and a maintenance bill that doesn't surprise you.

The grid on the right covers the full stack: custom web app delivery for studios and creators, scalable architecture for SaaS products, high-performance hosting on real metal, modern web stack with no framework lock-in, custom ERP and CRM, UI / UX design with tablet-first ergonomics, multi-tenant architecture, and responsive design.

Every project we ship is yours to own — your domain, your code, your data, your hosting if you want it.

03 / INTEGRATIONS

Integrations

Every integration is bi-directional — built to last, not to trend, and engineered
to outlive whatever the next API fashion brings to your stack.

Most integrations age badly. The trendy SDK from three years ago is now in maintenance mode. The "no-code" connector that promised everything has been quietly deprecated. The webhook that worked perfectly in dev is rate-limited in prod. We build for the opposite outcome: integrations that still work in 2035.

One login, one identity, one audit trail across every connection.

That middleware becomes the spine of a single core system. Your team stops switching between a CRM, an accounting tool, a ticketing system and three spreadsheets to answer one question. With a single password they get a 360° view — the customer, the order, the project, the financial position — finance, operations, sales and support all reading the same source of truth, not just whatever lives inside their own department. One source of truth. Real-time. Audit-ready.

solution

Custom FileMaker development, server hosting and consulting — enterprise-grade quality across the entire Claris ecosystem, built for the long term.

Record locking, security, performance, multi-user concurrency, data integrity — these are the invisible foundations that separate a prototype from a system your business can actually depend on. No drag-and-drop builder and no AI assistant handles these for you.

Claris FileMaker is the rare platform that lets a dynamic team ship a serious, multi-platform business app — and keep shipping for the next twenty years. We've been doing exactly that since the late 1980s.

What we ship isn't a database. It's a business workflow — the screens your team actually uses, the validations that prevent costly mistakes, the integrations that talk to your accounting and e-commerce, the reports your CFO needs at 8am on the first of the month. One codebase running natively on desktop, iPad, iPhone, and any browser.

We cover the full lifecycle: development of new solutions, consulting and audits of existing ones, performance optimization, FileMaker Server hosting on Apple Silicon, integration with the rest of your stack, and migration of legacy solutions.

05 / Fintech

Financial,

SAP, Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Stripe and PayPal — bi-directional, audit-ready and production-grade integrations that keep your books and your business always in sync.

Your finance system holds the operational truth — revenue, costs, taxes, customers, suppliers, every invoice and every payment. The problem is that most of it lives in a different system from where the work actually happens. Sales orders enter FileMaker, invoices live in QuickBooks, multi-entity books live in Xero, payments clear through Stripe, and someone has to keep all of that in sync — usually with spreadsheets at month-end.

We build the connectors that eliminate that work. Each integration on the right is bi-directionalby design: master data, sales orders, invoices and financial postings flow both ways. Real-time sync, with retries, error logging and a diagnostic dashboard inside FileMaker so your ops team can see exactly what's flowing.

Xero with multi-entity and multi-currency support, QuickBooks Online for the US default accounting stack, NetSuite through SuiteTalk REST and SuiteQL with custom RESTlets when you need them, full payment integration with Stripe, PayPal and any provider with an API, plus custom middleware for legacy or proprietary systems — Lightspeed, anything with a documented endpoint.
