2008
RadFM hosting started
Operates a FileMaker Server hosting business using cloud infrastructure, alongside consulting and system work.
Anonymized client stories
Real FileMaker work, client names withheld.
These are real consulting stories with identifying details removed. The useful part is the shape of the problem: find the weak points, fix the workflow, and make the operation easier to trust.
Sterilization company QR code workflow
Process audit QR codes Mobile workflow Zebra printers
Situation
The team was pre-generating QR code records in FileMaker, pre-printing sheets, labeling boxes, and then dealing with duplicates, missing barcodes, and avoidable handling errors.
Work
ZeroBlue assessed the full procedure, found the process holes, and redesigned the workflow around workers using iPhones and Zebra barcode printers to print QR codes on demand as boxes were labeled.
Outcome
The new procedure reduced manual handling, duplicate labels, missing codes, and time spent fixing barcode problems after the fact.
Overnight script reduced to a 30-minute parallel process
Performance Parallel scripts 70K+ records Related data
Situation
An office supplies and hardware company had a FileMaker script that could not finish overnight while processing a large set of related business records.
Work
ZeroBlue reworked the job into six parallel scripts so the workload could be split, processed, and updated without waiting on one long serial run.
Outcome
The revised process finished in about 30 minutes while handling more than 70,000 primary records plus dependent tables and child records.
Live scoring systems for projected events
Live systems Scoring Registration Projected displays
Situation
Live math competition scoring and charter school registration workflows in New York City were projected on large screens in front of participants and families, so delays and scoring errors were highly visible.
Work
ZeroBlue built FileMaker systems for live use, focusing on clean data entry, dependable scoring, and display-ready output for the room.
Outcome
The systems supported live event operations where accuracy, timing, and confidence mattered in front of an audience.
What the experience supports
FileMaker consulting grounded in real operational work.
FileMaker audits and system improvement
Long-running systems need evidence before they need more code. ZeroBlue brings process analysis, schema review, workflow diagnosis, and practical prioritization to existing FileMaker applications.
- Process analysis and workflow improvement
- FileMaker schema, scripting, layout, and integration review
- Data analysis, normalization, and operational cleanup
AI, analytics, and platform strategy

- Customer feedback, analytics, and market research for roadmap decisions
- AI-assisted workflows, summaries, analysis, and data access planning
Server setup, reliability, and monitoring
FileMaker systems depend on the server as much as the file. The work includes FileMaker Server setup, maintenance, cloud hosting, SSL, backups, logs, and operational reliability.
- FileMaker Server environments on Mac, Windows, and Linux
- AWS, Google Cloud, and hosted FileMaker infrastructure
- Backups, schedules, logs, SSL, uptime, and supportability
Regulated and business-critical systems
Experience includes FileMaker systems built for organizations where correctness, documentation, validation, and uptime matter.
- 21 CFR Part 11 and FDA software validation principles
- Software and analytics work in a high-accountability research environment
- Operational systems for sales, shipping, document, and internal workflow teams
Integrations and connected systems
FileMaker rarely stands alone. ZeroBlue has connected FileMaker to web apps, APIs, JavaScript interfaces, analytics tools, and external business systems.
- JSON, JavaScript, ESS, XML, and API integration work
- Bi-directional FileMaker and web application sync
- Mobile, desktop, and web-facing FileMaker workflows
Long FileMaker consulting history
The background spans platform product work, agency consulting, independent consulting, and FileMaker work reaching back to early professional roles.
- FileMaker solutions for enterprise departments and external clients
- Expert FileMaker consulting and application development experience
- 33 years of FileMaker experience across business, server, and product work
Practical engagement types
Useful when the next step is unclear.
When the file is slow
Review scripts, schema, calculations, layouts, server behavior, and data volume before deciding what to rewrite.
When AI is on the roadmap
Identify what data is ready, what needs cleanup, and which AI workflow is useful enough to justify implementation.
When the server feels risky
Check backups, SSL, logs, schedules, hardware, hosting, uptime, and monitoring before reliability becomes urgent.
