Schedule a free introductory meeting

FileMaker by Claris is a very popular alternative to complicated enterprise systems.

FileMaker is great for inventory software

Multi-platform

FileMaker runs on both Windows and Mac. Native mobile support for iPhone and iPad. And, of course, the web.

Concurrent Users

Procurement, sales, and warehouse teams can all log into one data system without disruptions.

Automation

A scripting engine along with dedicated server software makes automations and backups a breeze.

Share Data

Businesses run on multiple apps. You need a platform that easily talks to your data tools.

Highly Customizable

Your business rules and procedures should determine your software, not the other way around.

World Support

Claris has been around for over 30 years and has a strong, vibrant community around the world.

Hi. I'm Daniel Shanahan.

I started using FileMaker in 1991. In 2007, I became a full-time developer, starting New Leaf Data, LLC a year later. In 2016, I focused all my services toward inventory management on the FileMaker platform.

I help distributors and manufacturers from around the world with their inventory data problems. That's not hyperbole. My customers are from Korea, Mauritius, Thailand, the U.K. and of course, the United States.

New Leaf Data, LLC has been a Claris Business Alliance Partner since 2008.

BTW, I know I could use a more professional photo. But my goal is work to live. I believe FileMaker can help you achieve that as well. Schedule a meeting and let's start the conversation.
