The Claris Platform
The Claris Platform provides the foundation on which we design, build, and support tailored business systems.
At its core is FileMaker, a mature and highly capable low-code development environment that allows systems to evolve alongside the businesses they support.
Built for real-world business processes
The Claris Platform is particularly well suited to organisations that need systems which reflect how their business actually works, rather than forcing processes to fit rigid off-the-shelf software.
Because the platform is schema-flexible and designed for rapid iteration, systems can be refined as requirements become clearer, without costly rewrites or disruption.
One system, many devices
Applications built on the Claris Platform can run simultaneously on:
- Windows and macOS desktops
- iPhone and iPad for mobile and field use
- Web browsers for remote and occasional users
When hosted via our managed cloud infrastructure, this delivers LAN-like performance while maintaining central control, security, and reliability, whether users are in the same building or spread across countries.
Integration without complexity
Modern businesses rarely operate in isolation. The Claris Platform is designed to integrate cleanly with other systems, including:
- Accounting and finance software
- External supplier and logistics systems
- APIs and third-party services
- Legacy databases and data sources
This allows organisations to extend existing investments rather than replace them, while still gaining the benefits of a unified operational system.
Why we use the Claris Platform
We’ve worked with many technologies over the years, but continue to use the Claris Platform because it offers a rare combination of:
- Speed of development without sacrificing robustness
- Cross-platform deployment from a single system
- Long-term stability and vendor continuity
- A proven track record in operational business systems
Most importantly, it enables us to focus on solving business problems, not wrestling with unnecessary technical complexity.
From platform to production system
The Claris Platform is not an end in itself, it is the engine behind the systems we deliver.
Whether that’s a fully bespoke solution, an evolved long-term system, or a product such as Erpyrean, the platform allows us to deliver software that grows with your organisation, remains supportable, and continues to add value year after year.
