How can customers and vendors access FileMaker data through the web?
A hybrid solution can keep FileMaker as the operational database while providing selected users with a secure, browser-based interface. Depending on the workflow, Portage Bay may recommend WebDirect or a custom web front end connected through FileMaker APIs. The goal is to expose only the functions and data each audience needs.
We design easy-to-use website-based applications that allow your team and your customers to interact with your business in a secure way, improving accuracy, results, and reducing costs. Our team can connect FileMaker to your existing website or develop a new web application integrated with the platform.
