Proven at Scale

Real projects. Real results.

We've helped organisations of every size solve complex problems with FileMaker. Here's a small sample of what we've delivered.

Railway
01
Belgium Rail (SNCB)

When Belgium Rail needed an efficient system to manage customer disputes, train driver schedules, platform maintenance, and staff management, they chose FileMaker — and FM Hosting to run it. We now manage six servers, 360 users, and over 50 modules. Their license has just been renewed for a further three years.

Enterprise FileMaker 360 Users
Automotive assessment
02
Acorn Accessors

Acorn provides motor claims services including desktop assessments, on-site vehicle inspections, total loss evaluations, and post-repair inspections. Their FileMaker solution processes over 6,000 images of car damage every single day, while acting as the central hub for every claim that comes in each hour.

High Volume FileMaker 6,000+ Images/Day
Industrial lifting equipment
03
Towne Lifting & Testing

Tom Towne needed to replace a cumbersome and costly third-party document management system. Working with FM Hosting, a bespoke FileMaker solution was built covering sales, quotations, invoicing, and nearly every aspect of the business — cutting costs and improving efficiency across the board.
