“Too many manual operations!”

Check out our latest case study with Wex Photographic! Link in bio.

They faced challenges with manual operations. Staff had to call customers to gather payment details, which were then entered into a different financial software to create invoices. This process was not only time-consuming but also led to errors that slowed everything down.

To help them overcome this bottleneck, we collaborated to integrate their Claris FileMaker system with the Mollie Payment Gateway, creating a smoother and more efficient setup for their business!

We helped Wex set up an integration with Mollie Payment Gateway. Wex is a leader in photographic repair with over 30 years of expertise in DSLR and mirrorless camera systems. They transitioned from paper-based methods to Claris FileMaker software for enhanced metrics and reporting.

Infinity Foods' growth story is a very interesting one. Over the last 30 years they have gone from being a small whole food shop, packing and selling from their front room, to the UK's leading wholesaler of organic food. All this while sticking firmly to their values along the way.

Claris FileMaker has been instrumental in facilitating the expansion of Infinity Foods. The system, which started as a bespoke, in-house stock management system, now forms the backbone of the warehouse management side of the business.

We are always fascinated to see how FileMaker helps different types of businesses grow and become more efficient, so we went to visit their factory in Brighton to meet their team. Great to see some true "citizen developers" at work. And what a lovely bunch they are!

🆘 If you don’t know where to start with making changes to your organisation’s systems you are not alone.

Making decisions in this area can be so hard. Businesses tell us every day that they aren’t sure what steps to take to make themselves more efficient. Information paralysis hits!

This is what our workshop helps with, and it is great to see happy customers when they come out the other end of a workshop with a plan in place.

Nobody is more excited about the AI revolution than our Associate Technical Developer Ian Jempson. However, Ian's very interesting article on using AI Tools to Generate code reminds us of the current reality of AI's capabilities and where we must exercise caution as the technology progresses.

He explains that 60% of a project cost is in maintenance, so while we might be able to generate code quickly and cheaply, we mustn't forget that this will need to be supported. Additionally, he reminds us that we must think of an AI generated system in much the same way as a legacy system, in that nobody knows what it is doing. Food for thought for sure.

We, like Ian, are very excited to see where AI will take us. Read the full article here:

We have really enjoyed helping Duckworth Laboratory at the University of Cambridge revolutionise the management of their data. What a satisfying project! The Duckworth Collection is renowned for its extensive collection of human remains and other artefacts. However, the management of such an extensive collection posed unique challenges, with the team previously using 38 separate spreadsheets to manage their data. When Duckworth Laboratory approached us, they presented a scenario ripe for transformation. Their existing data management system, reliant on this maze of Excel spreadsheets and various document formats, was not just inefficient — it was a bottleneck to their potential for growth and innovation. Using we created a customised solution to centralise all their data. Read more about this and the results in our case study.
