Many years ago when I was asked to build my first Inventory Management System I looked around for resources to teach me how. What I found is that most instruction on the FileMaker platform is about getting new users up and running in FileMaker. But I had that. I was a full-time FileMaker developer at the time. What I needed was instruction on how to create a complex inventory structure with a tool that I love. I didn't find anything, so I learned by trial and error.Fast forward to 2017. Having a number of inventory systems "under my belt" I went looking for inventory resources for the FileMaker platform. I still didn't see anything. That's when I decided to create FileMaker Inventory Resources - a collection of free articles and demo file to help users create the inventory system they want.FileMaker Inventory Resources was well received and I wanted to build upon that success to further meet the need for business owners to create their own inventory systems. I didn't want to create an off-the-shelf solution (a.k.a. Plug and Play) as I believe them to be too limiting. Rather, I wanted to create a tool that would give the business owner a great deal of flexibility when creating their own Inventory Management System.FM Inventory Starter is that tool. And these courses help the DIY business owner to unlock the possibilities!
