SolutionMakers has been an integral partner in our company’s growth and evolution over the past several years. In fact, the staff at SMI are more familiar with the intricacies of our very unique business model than most of our employees! SMI’s expertise has allowed us to eliminate massive bottlenecks and inefficiencies in our workflows, and we’ve now achieved the ultimate goal of just about every SMB: having an integrated business software and accounting system that’s perfectly tailored to our specific needs. The system that SMI built for us is amazingly stable and scalable, and will continue to grow with us for many years to come.

Best of all, SMI’s outstanding reputation within the FileMaker development community has allowed it to attract a multitalented staff whose areas of expertise are truly impressive and time-tested. For most small to medium businesses, it’s far more practical and cost-effective to hire a team of expert developers to tackle software projects than to bring such work-in house. It is always a pleasure to work with SMI developers, and we very much consider them part of our team here. I look forward to many more years of close collaboration with Laura and her fantastic staff.

As a first-timer in custom software development, we relied on SolutionMakers’ expertise to help us along every step of the way. Laura & her staff created a custom database that literally eliminated hundreds of hours of re-entering data from spec writing, finish schedules and budgets to creating estimates, invoices and purchase orders for our clients. The solution they created allowed our design staff to interface with our purchasing and accounting systems in ways never possible before. Their staff was very friendly, accommodating and always willing to help. Even through all the ups and downs inherent to creating custom software, I would recommend SolutionMakers and plan to continue our relationship in the future through additional modules and upgrades.

SolutionMakers provides excellent service that continues to meet the specific needs at our company.  The database that they developed reduced operating costs by reducing redundancies in our existing databases.  It created an elegant solution to a series of complex problems.

We’ve been working with SolutionMakers now for about 8 years. We’re extremely satisfied. They know their product in depth and can design and apply its capabilities to best suit the need. If function issues arise, they are proactive in sourcing the problem and providing a solution (this happened once because they were not advised of software changes, and we were not charged for the numerous hours they spent troubleshooting). When we began working with SolutionMakers, we found that they understood our needs much better than we did. Some projects gave us benefits we hadn’t expected, at the same price. We have taxed them with some very complex projects, and always with excellent results.

Do they complete projects during the specified time frame and budget? Because they understand their product so fully, and investigate the need so thoroughly, they have always been on target with schedules and budgets.

Plus, they are just very nice people!

When we started looking for software that would help take our company to the next level, we were disappointed to see there were very few choices in our industry. The ones we did find were way too limited and would have required us to change our business structure and philosophy. SolutionMakers has allowed us to improve our business the way WE desire to improve it. The entire team at SMi have worked diligently to bring us a great solution that will continue to expand in the future as we include more and more of our business needs into the database they have built for us. Their customer support is top-notch—they answer their phones, reply back to emails promptly and always keep us informed on their progress. We could not have asked for a better partnership than we got with SolutionMakers.

SMI listened to what I needed to accomplish. They found my pain points and brought mature solutions to the table that could be quickly customized to my needs. Because of the speed of development and the maturity of their code, we actually added feature sets that I thought would have to wait for future revisions. They truly are “Solution Makers...”
