Overview

FM Starting Point is a completely FREE FileMaker template designed for use with FileMaker® Pro 12, and is focused on small businesses, work groups, and non-profit organizations. These templates were built with the experience gained from working with these target groups for over 22 years.

FileMaker users have been enjoying the benefits of FMSP for over 3 years, with over 150,000 downloads of the solution. FMSP offers an integrated approach to a integral need in the business world - a complete CRM that is ready to be built upon to create the perfect solution for your specific needs. Experienced FileMaker Pro users will value an FREE tool that makes building a new project substantially easier.

To save time on your next project, simply start off with a fresh copy of FM Starting Point, and add additional tables, fields, and scripts to fully customize the database to your exact needs.

The developers who rebuilt the "Starter Solution" templates for FileMaker have worked tirelessly to bring you FM Starting Point. FM Starting Point uses the same graphical user interface that we built into the "Starter Solution" templates for FileMaker Inc. This should give new users "a familiar feeling" when transitioning to FM Starting Point.
