Welcome to 2010!

Ok, so it's the year 2010 and I'm sure we were supposed to be flying to work and have robots doing all the cleaning and cooking. What gives?

Although robot technology is lagging behind the cartoons we watched as children, the team at Insightful Systems have been busy tinkering with FileMaker Pro to provide functionality that'll make you feel like you've stepped into the future.

Google Maps Integration
While many of you might have seen a customer's address being displayed in Google Maps we've gone several steps further by providing features that can show:

  • A map detailing all customers, relative to your office or another customers office based on a user specified radius, i.e. 30 kms from customer XYZ
  • Driving directions from your office to a customers premises or a multi-leg trip, stopping at several locations

These features can be used to plan sales team visits, service visits, delivery routes or just gain a better understanding of where your customers are located. All with just a few clicks and without leaving your FileMaker database.

Integration with Google Maps allows you to see the location of your customer data relative to your office location.

Finance Integration
Sick of entering financial details into both FileMaker and your financial software of choice?

How would you like to directly push data from FileMaker into MYOB or Quickbooks.

We can provide integration with your existing financial package, reducing clerical effort and removing data entry errors.

Web Deployment
Expand the availability of your key business data by establishing a custom web interface. Our development team can provide a web interface to your FileMaker database, allowing customers and staff to access important information from anywhere in the world. We can build something specific to your business; checking order status, updating contact details or submitting support queries - whatever makes your business tick. We can even design and implement interface suitable for handheld devices like the iPhone.
