    Application for a Medical Staffing Company

    A top medical staffing agency needed an online system to manage the reporting and approval process for their health care providers. The staff is assigned to medical facilities all over the US. Employees enter their hours on their phones and get electronic approval by the hospital supervisor and submit this to the agency. The system also allows for data being sent by email or fax. The data is synchronized for all employees for a week to finalize the weekly remuneration to staff. The weekly data is easily exported into their accounting application.

    The system sends periodic reminders to staff about missing work details via a voice call and SMS. The two way SMS communication between the user and the administrator is integrated into the online tool.

  • FileMaker application for a textile company

    Our client is a textile manufacturing, dyeing, knitting unit and part of a large conglomerate. The factory runs three shifts and 358 days in the year with one week of downtime. Legacy FileMaker 5.5 application developed several years ago had acquired a critical role in the manufacturing process. Their initial plan was to migrate the FileMaker workflow management and Formulations Management System from FileMaker with its 1500+ files and hundreds of users to their robust SAP system. For several reasons, it could not be migrated.

    In the end, the client approached MetaSys to plan and implement the upgrade from FileMaker version 5.5 to version 17. MetaSys looked into the business processes involved, and all the dependencies in bridging the huge technical gap at hardware, software and process levels. An integrated project plan was developed and implemented. The technology upgrade makes it possible to implement long-awaited enhancements. The client also had mandated various IT Security Policy requirements. After the upgrade, Integration with Active Directory and the mandated audit logging requirements were implemented.

    The upgrade and enhancement project was too large for the In-House IT department. MetaSys provided high-quality technical expertise and the bandwidth to enable them to implement the upgrade. MetaSys continues to supplement the In- House team for the enhancements. One of the processes being followed was leading to an explosion in the number of files. MetaSys worked with the IT team to understand the issue and redesigned the solution. We consolidated the files which resulted in fewer maintenance efforts.

    Both the Management and the IT department now view MetaSys as a partner for their FileMaker projects.

    River Cruise Booking Application

    Our client is a river cruise company based in Myanmar. We were tasked with developing an online reservation system for their business. The architecture consists of an FM server and clients hosted on a hosting site in the UK; Citrix clients at the client’s office in Myanmar (through which they access the FileMaker client), and a web server that hosts the website for reservations in the US. The hosting architecture (FM client & server accessed over Citrix) was chosen since the client was looking to minimize both his IT footprint as well as the cost of FileMaker licenses.

    We implemented the backend FM database, the FM clients that contain the desktop reservation, as well as the PHP code for the web front end. This system is currently in production.Since the initial build, several enhancements have been made namely: Integrating separate files for each season into one application, Ability to book cruise segments and Pre and Post Cruise Add-on Tours all managed within the same application. The system manages agents and their commissions.

    TECHNOLOGIES

    Initially built on FileMaker 12 and PHP, the application is now upgraded to FM 16.

    Retail Cigar & Watch Store

    Our client is in International Trade of Cigar and High-end Luxury Watches. MetaSys developed an Inventory management application initially in FileMaker 12. The core functionalities involved managing supplier orders, customer orders, stock in, stock out, consignment and document management. Reporting functionalities included Current stock, Purchase/Sales report, Margin report, Commission report etc. The original configuration included FM clients and servers all hosted on the client’s premises. We migrated the FM server to a hosted site in the UK since the client wanted to reduce his IT footprint to the minimum.

    A recent requirement was to develop a native iOS application to extend his reach via mobile for both his internal staff as well as clients. The native iOS app is linked to the FileMaker Database with Web services using CWP. These applications involve complex implementations like sending multiple attachments from various sources like Gallery, Dropbox, Google Drive etc. The iOS application sends offers to large number of their clients with multiple pdf attachments.
