FileMaker Business Tracker
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.
Best of all, Business Tracker is provided completely unlocked and as an open source template so you can customize
it exactly the way you like and make it precisely meet your, or your client's needs. And there are so many great
ways to expand on the basic FBT foundation.
We built Business Tracker not only to represent what’s possible with
the new technology, but also to be a very usable and extendable
solution. We can easily add things like direct email, inventory
control, calendaring and reminders... and a myriad of other
possibilities. In addition to further customizing the system for our
clients, Excelisys, Inc. can provide support and guidance of the
Business Tracker for other developers who want to expand on its
foundation.
