You can pass a spreadsheet around but when its a 30+ people needing to attack a problem quickly or enter data concurrently- a web app always wins the day. This allows your clients access to you in a very streamlined fashion like document submittal or online forms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Desktop apps<\/strong> &#8211; these apps usually require special horsepower and doing it on a local machine is key. They are getting fewer and fewer as the web gets faster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tablet or iPhone apps<\/strong>. FileMaker can make apps really easy and quick to add to a pocket or field device. Other applications can be web apps that utilize a tablet&#8217;s browser or &#8230; you can do a traditional native iPhone\/Google device app. These days there is lots of technology to do an app for multi-platform keeping your costs down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the background robots.<\/strong> Data collection overnight or throughout the day happens all day long with our clients. Apps that you can&#8217;t see or will never see work tirelessly all day long. They clean, harvest or transfer data at just the right time. Need it done faster due to large amounts of data? Scale it properly. We can help. HOURS OF MANUAL LABOUR isn&#8217;t necessary. Get a computer to do it as it doesn&#8217;t get tired and often doesn&#8217;t make a mistake. Is it broken?
