Hello good people!
I work for a company that has a need for an adaptive database that can integrate all of our functions of business, and I'm trying to decide if FileMaker Pro is the right product for us. We are a computer manufacturing company that builds and installs networks for dental offices. We have to have a very flexible inventory, and scheduling will be pretty intensive as well. We would like to maintain several (20+) "warehouses" for items, and have the whole database be scalable for whatever growth we experience.
What I would like from this forum is some advice regarding the suitability of FileMaker Pro for our needs. I've seen a database in action at another company in town, but I'm not sure about the size limitations of this database. We currently sell to about 40 clients per month, many of them new leads. Could anybody please comment on ANYTHING you think I need to consider before jumping into FileMaker (or whatever other program you could recommend)... like I said, my main concern is whether the database structure will be able to handle large amounts of transactions and data. Also, I am fully aware that FileMaker is for BUILDING databases, not ready out-of-the-box...
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Dave Gibson
