FileMaker, Inc. (FileMaker Business Tracker)
FileMaker Pro 7 Database
FileMaker Business Tracker is a fully functional business tracking system showcasing some of the many
new features in FileMaker Pro. The system can be shared over a network serving multiple users, each
logging in with a secure account. The system tracks companies and contacts, with multiple locations
and phone numbers. It stores an inventory of products and provides an easy method for creating and
tracking sales, printing invoices and packing slips, plus sales reports, customer lists and even
address labels.
FileMaker chose Excelisys, Inc. to both design and develop Business Tracker as a vehicle to showcase the
wealth of new features of FileMaker Pro. We're more than a little proud of this, and very excited about the
success of our working relationship with FileMaker, Inc.
By studying FBT, you'll learn by example and better understand how to leverage FileMaker Pro's new architecture
to achieve similar success in your own projects. You can also clear out the demonstration data, and actually
start putting Business Tracker to use running a small retail or wholesale business. Freely explore "under
the hood" and see a visual reference of Business Tracker's complex relational foundation. You'll notice the
elegant configuration of tables is all contained in a single file. Furthermore, much of the navigation is based
around a single script, demonstrating how the passing of parameters can significantly cut down on interface
development time. Learn more about the FMP Business Tracker >>

TC Ranch
FileMaker Pro Database
Problem -
The client is a Hay Farmer who had developed an inventory control program to track
what crops where being planted and where; to record all of the cuttings that were
made from each field and where they were stored; to issue Contracts as the crops
were sold; to track Deliveries; to record payments and finally to provide detailed
analysis of the year’s business. The original solution had been developed over a
number of years and met the client’s needs but it required a lot of manual work and
a completely new set of files had to be used each year. The client also wanted to
be able to market the solution to other Farmers so it had to be very flexible, extremely
user-friendly and visually appealing. It also had to work for large operations where
multiple producers with multiple ranches as well as for the small one-man operation.
Solution -
We redeveloped the program from the ground up using a single file FileMaker 8 solution
which would allow for multiple years to be entered and then specific years to be
isolated by means of relationships. The new program allows the farmer to sell in
either Bales or tons and inventory reduction is calculated for both measures simultaneously.
Cuttings are added to a contract by point-and-click selection and once a cutting is sold
out, it instantly drops off the screen so there can be no oversells. The program allows
for multiple and partial deliveries from each contract and keeps track of what is remaining
to be delivered; payments are posted to specific Deliveries and automatically applied to
the Contract; Deposits are held until the contract terms specify they are to be applied and
then automatically transferred to. We used ‘iconic’ farm photographs throughout as buttons
and navigation devices to make the solution visually appealing and easy–to–use.

Langdon Barber Groves - Fund~Blazer™
Problem -
To create a single-user, stand-alone system that aids high school bands with their fundraiser
selling LBG fruit products. Our client had invested tens of thousands into an existing system,
written for Windows only. And there was now demand for a Macintosh version, but they didn't
want to develop and support two separate solutions.
Solution -
Langdon Barber Groves worked with us to design the perfect, cross-platform solution using the
FileMaker Pro runtime engine. It is deployed by CD-ROM with installers for both Mac and Windows
platforms. Their users have varying degrees of computer experience, so we made the interface
absolutely simple - incorporating a "power mode" for seasoned users. Consequently, our client
has received minimal customer support requests. The system tracks their orders, sales, collections
and profit. It evens handles drop-shipments. When the user is finished, they can then directly fax
their complete order directly from the system.
