Database App
Not sure if your company needs a custom database app?
It does, and here’s why.
For many people, the word database evokes either a simple
spreadsheet-like grid listing text and numbers in a predetermined sequence or,
an intimidating, NASA-like armada of machines that look as if they could
possibly take over the world.
While that can be an accurate snapshot of how some data is
organized, modern database apps paint a whole new picture.
To today’s user, a custom database app performs like a friendly,
intuitive “website” that happens to kick butt when it comes to complex
calculations, data organization and retrieval, report generation, processing,
and information sharing. Built specifically for each company’s needs, data
systems like FileMaker have revolutionized the way businesses of all sizes
improve their workflow. That’s why the number of small to medium size
businesses that use a custom database app has grown significantly in the last
five years.
For those who still find the idea of a custom database daunting,
you might be surprised to learn that relying on Excel, Google Drive, and a
stack of file folders on your desk is way scarier.
Companies find that their productivity, security, accuracy, and
overall communication have vastly improved with a custom DB, and the investment
is more than cost-effective.
Here are a few more points to consider when considering a custom
database app:
It has superpowers. A custom DB is faster than humans and
can solve much more complex problems than office software programs.
The data you need, when you need it. Gives
authorized users easy access to data from both computer and mobile devices.
It protects your information. FileMaker uses industry-standard
protections to keep your data secure and allows you to control who has access
to what.
You can vault it. Keep your records as long as desired and all but
prevent important data loss.
It goes with the flow. Data can be shared between departments if desired,
improving communication and cooperation.
Reports! Customized algorithms can be built into your database for
more intuitive and analytical reports contingent upon your needs.
It plays well with others. Users can upload existing Excel
files and PDFs, output data to programs like QuickBooks or link to website
content if needed.
It can be HR and AR’s BFF. Your custom DB can assist
departments such as Human Resources and Accounting by securing personal data,
calculating time records and payroll, managing invoicing, automating balancing
sheets, etc., for a more accurate and streamlined process.
It can boost your CRM (Customer Relationship Management). Features can be
built into a custom DB to provide your sales and marketing teams with
analytics, feedback solutions, and communication tools like eBlasts to keep
your company on the vanguard.
You grow, it grows. Your custom system can process and retain
information almost without limit, and new features can always be added as your
needs expand.
