Core service
FileMaker database development
Database work grew from Cruse Control’s experience using structured information to manage accounting, contacts, jobs and production. That developed into a specialist database service delivering systems for organisations with very different working methods and requirements.
We can help with a new FileMaker solution, development of an existing database, workflow improvements, reporting, automation, data structure and practical changes to systems that have evolved over time.
Experience

Practical help around the system
Focused training
Training can be centred on the features people actually need for their work rather than forcing users through an entire software package. Individual and group requirements can be accommodated.
FileMaker product customisation
CONTACTS!, WorkflowPLUS! and Publish! can provide a starting point where a ready-made Cruse Control system is closer to the requirement than developing from a blank file.
Additional experience
Design and business communication
Graphic design
Cruse Control began in graphic design and desktop publishing. That design background continues to influence the clarity, organisation and presentation of the database systems we build.
Presentations & templates
Experience includes corporate presentations and Word, Excel and PowerPoint templates, particularly where existing branding needs to be translated into practical documents that staff can use consistently.
What about the older web and software services?
The original Cruse Control services page also described website development and a broad range of desktop software skills. Those capabilities form part of the company’s history, but the current emphasis is on FileMaker development, business databases, existing-system modernisation and the Cruse Control product range.
