A Database Success product

FMCapture

Turn any phone into a capture front end for the FileMaker file you already have.

Scan a barcode or QR, snap a photo, capture a signature, and it writes straight into FileMaker. Nothing to install, and no per-seat FileMaker license on the phone, on any device, because it is a web app, not FileMaker Go and not WebDirect.

Nothing to install on the phone Any device, iOS or Android Works with your existing FileMaker file

What it is

Field capture that lands in FileMaker, live

Your crew opens a link, captures what they need, and taps send. The office sees it in FileMaker immediately, exactly as if it came from FileMaker Go, but with no app and no seat on the phone.

Scan

Barcodes and QR codes read right in the browser, live from the camera, on the packing slip or the unit.

Photograph

Proof of delivery, damage, the item. The photo goes into a FileMaker container field.

Sign

A signature captured on screen and saved with the record.

Into FileMaker

Everything writes into the FileMaker solution you already run. Map your fields once, then go.

How it works

A capture takes one clean path

Everything the phone sends lands in a small companion FileMaker file first, is reviewed, and only then moves into your live records. Nothing writes into your solution unchecked.

Field user
Phone
Opens a link, scans, photographs, signs. Nothing installed.
FMCapture
Relay
Holds the FileMaker login server-side and makes the write. The browser never sees FileMaker.
FMCapture
Capture hub
The capture lands here first, marked New, with the photo and signature attached.
Your office
Review
A person confirms each capture before it becomes part of your records.
Your system
Your FileMaker file
A mapped handoff writes it into the right fields. Marked Processed.

The shaded boxes are the software we provide. Your solution needs no changes to start capturing.

Data safety

Built so your data stays yours

Everything runs on your FileMaker Server, under your control, with a credential that can do almost nothing and images that are never stored.

Your password never reaches the phone

The browser holds only a short-lived session. Every FileMaker call is made server-side.

The capture account can do almost nothing

Create and edit capture records on one layout. No delete, no reach into your solution.

We do not store your images

Each photo and signature is passed straight through to your FileMaker file, in memory only, never written to our disk.

Encrypted the whole way

HTTPS from the phone to us and from us to your FileMaker Server, with your certificate verified on every call.

No duplicates on a bad connection

Every capture carries a unique ID, so a phone that retries on weak signal never creates two records.

A human check before it is your data

Captures wait in a review inbox until confirmed, so a mis-scan is caught before it reaches your records.

Hosting

We run it for you, or you run it yourself

Either way the FileMaker file lives on your FileMaker Server, and every customer is fully isolated on their own setup. We never pool your credentials with anyone else's.
