FileMaker 2024 is here, with powerful AI
Last week Claris, an Apple company announced the launch of FileMaker 2024, which enables developers to take advantage of the power of AI. Most AI systems use generic data trawled from the internet, but the way AI is implemented in FileMaker allows businesses to use their OWN data — whether that’s sales history, manufacturing plant performance or customer behaviour — to meet their needs.
Interactive subcontractor scheduling tool
Our interactive scheduling tool simplifies the logistical challenge of arranging numerous subcontractors across multiple locations on projects with inflexible schedules.
The solution is a flexible scheduling tool that makes it easy to visualise and plan all projects in one place – and we’ve deliberately avoided an overload of features so the tool remains simple and intuitive to use.
Business systems self-audit
Systems should be user-friendly, functional and intuitive, with a clear user interface that’s consistent throughout. Where does your organisation stand?
?? Constant Struggle: Hours spent updating and extracting data, with frequent system criticisms.
?? Neutral Territory: Users feel okay, but not thrilled.

?? Seamless system usability: People new to the system are impressed with system clarity and simplicity, enhancing job performance.
If your business systems are receiving negative feedback or stuck in neutral territory, let’s work together to enhance your users’ experience and enable your team to be more productive. See some more examples of our dashboards and interfaces?for inspiration, and take our free business systems self-audit to be guided through this and other questions about whether your systems are supporting your business well.
New tool streamlines management of charity’s loan enquiries
Paul has been at Decent Group since 2014 and recently played a key role in transforming how a charity manages enquiries for loans and grants. Previously burdened with doing manual calculations for every enquiry, the charity now benefits from a tool Paul developed. This software calculates exact monthly repayments for specified sums, interest rates and repayment periods. The output is a simple, visually-appealing PDF repayment schedule, giving clear and accurate information to the borrower. Paul’s contribution has not only made the borrowing experience clearer for individuals, but also significantly more efficient for the charity.
