Solutions
From simple workflow optimisation to large scale data integration, we can develop a FileMaker database solution to suit your needs. Whether it's a new solution or an extension to an existing one, our Certified FileMaker Developers can provide an elegant, user-friendly solution.
Transitions
We specialise in FileMaker database upgrades to the latest version from any previous version, including data migration and optimised functionality. We can also transition your database to iOS mobile technology using FileMaker Go allowing you access to your data "on the go".
Integration
Need your FileMaker database to talk to other software? We can integrate your FileMaker solution into workflow practices to provide seamless data transfer between applications - ranging from spreadsheets to specific cloud based services such as websites and e-mail campaign management.
Since 1996 we've been developing and supporting FileMaker solutions across a range of businesses, focusing on quality, integrative solutions.
Certification by FileMaker Inc means peace of mind as it ensures our developers are well-versed in all aspects of the FileMaker technology stack. It is a rigorous process that tests a developer's knowledge and establishes a minimum standard of technical competence. We are currently certified in v15, v14, v13 and v12.
To ensure quality solutions, expert knowledge and technical competency must be coupled with experience in implementing the technology, i.e the ability to apply the knowledge in a way that meets the client's needs. At code2go we have over 20 years experience developing effective and efficient FileMaker solutions to a broad range of businesses in industries such as health, education, retail and construction.
Recent News
FileMaker have started releasing details of their next version to their developer network. We now have a chance to play with the pre-release software and we're looking forward to seeing how the new features work.
v15 Certified!
It's been a busy year, but finally we have managed to achieve certification in FileMaker version 15. We're looking forward to pushing on in 2017 and helping even more people improve their businesses with tailored solutions that fit their needs.
Why FileMaker?
FileMaker has for decades been a tool for rapid application development that enables the creation of elegant solutions without needing to understand traditional computer programming languages. It is constantly being improved to take advantage of features made available by different devices and operating systems.
Plus, being an Apple Subsidiary means developing in FileMaker is one of the easiest ways to create an iOS application for the iPhone and iPad. Learn more about FileMaker >here.
Bespoke or Generic?
Pre-built (generic) apps are cheaper to purchase because the cost of creating them is spread over a large number of customers. The trade-off however is that the ability to customise to suit business needs is often limited and their inability to integrate with other software or business process can significantly affect efficiency and costs.
A professionally-developed custom (bespoke) solution can fill the gaps by integrating with existing applications, streamlining manual processes or become a fully-fledged business solution in its own right. Talk to us about this can work for you >here.

Custom Solutions
Software solutions are best when they are built to clearly-defined needs and designed to suit the devices that are available. It's more than just how it looks - it has to play to the strengths and minimise the weaknesses of each device (and user!) to actually solve the problems faced by the business. Custom solutions can sound like the expensive option but the efficiency and savings the business is able to achieve can be realised in a surprisingly short time. Many "off the shelf" systems don't integrate or don't provide the exact business requirements so business either have to change processes which may be less than ideal or develop costly manual workarounds as a "gap filler".

Contacting Us
Note: Due to the overwhelming number of clever little bots out there that actively look to phish details like phone numbers and e-mail addresses off websites and then bombard them with spam emails and phone calls we have used our own clever little device in our contact form. Given that these bots also automatically populate contact forms we have added the "I am not a robot" verifier - all in an effort to reduce our queries to legitimate requests. We are sure you share this frustration with spam and will understand why we have used this arrangement.
Thank you.
The team at code2go.
