FileMaker (FM) Database Web Application for Parts Catalog and Bill of Materials
A leader in the technology sector and ELYON have joined forces to create a robust application with web-based user-interface that streamlines parts management and enhances the bill of materials (BOM) process. Leveraging the power of FileMaker Pro, we are building and enhancing a dynamic solution that caters to the following key requirements:
- Parts Catalog Management:
- The web application will serve as a comprehensive catalog, allowing users to search, view, and organize various parts.
- Each part will have detailed information, including specifications, pricing, availability, and related documentation.
- Bill of Materials (BOM):
- The BOM functionality will enable users to assemble components into a cohesive whole.
- Users can create, edit, and manage BOMs, ensuring accurate product assembly and efficient production processes.
- Version Control and Revisions:
- The database will track part revisions, ensuring that the most up-to-date information is always available.
- Users can view historical changes, compare versions, and make informed decisions.
- Collaboration and Permissions:
- Multiple users, including engineers, procurement teams, and project managers, will collaborate seamlessly.
- Role-based permissions will control access to sensitive data, maintaining security and data integrity.
Why FileMaker Pro?
- User-Friendly Interface: FileMaker Pro offers an intuitive interface for designing and interacting with the database. Users can easily navigate, search, and update part information.
- Customization: ELYON is tailoring the solution to meet our partner’s specific needs. Custom layouts, scripts, and calculations ensure a personalized experience.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Whether accessed via desktop or mobile devices, the web application remains consistent and functional.
Benefits and Future Prospects
This collaboration with ELYON promises the following benefits:
- Efficiency: Streamlined parts management accelerates decision-making and reduces manual effort.
- Accuracy: Accurate BOMs lead to precise product assembly and fewer errors.
- Scalability: As our partner grows, the database can expand to accommodate additional parts and features.
