You'll see how sales users navigate from a dashboard to see their open opportunities and log follow-up interactions.

Mobile sales users can view a contact's location in a dynamic map to make in-person sales calls easier.

Building an iOS App from a FileMaker Database
As you may be aware FileMaker Inc have given developers a toolset ("SDK") for creating standalone apps for iPhone and iPad, from FileMaker databases. The process is a little tricky and there're plenty of things to be aware of...

But it's worth it!

The key thing is that once you've got a standalone app, it's much easier for users to have your database as an app just like any other app, as an icon sitting on the iPhone or iPad rather than buried away under FileMaker Go. 



The other advantages are that it just looks and behaves like a standard native app. It opens quickly, with it's own splash screen and it's easier to install. In fact you can even sell (or give it away) through the App Store if you've built something that you want to distribute widely. More on deployment and distribution options later.

1,000,000+ apps on the market - so why build one?

Because custom apps boost team's productivity and drive revenue growth, businesses are turning to custom apps that are specifically built for their operations and workflow.
