\nFrequently asked questions<\/h3>\n
\n
\ngFM-Business is deliberately not just \u201ea module\u201c, but a FileMaker-based ERP platform that can be used as a CRM, merchandise management, billing\/invoicing program, agency software or office software as required. The core is: you get a solution that can be adapted to your business processes - instead of the other way around. This is particularly practical for companies that don't want to be forced into a rigid standard system, but want to digitize processes cleanly step by step.<\/li>\n
\nTypically for small and medium-sized companies that are looking for a clear, customizable system - without the ballast of classic large-scale ERP implementations. The sensible use often begins where Excel lists, isolated solutions or a \u201egrown\u201c process mix noticeably eats up time: quotations, orders, warehouse, delivery bills, invoices, customer communication, evaluations. At the same time, the platform is so scalable that it can grow with the company - from a single workstation to a workgroup.<\/li>\n
\ngFM-Business is cross-platform and can be used on macOS, Windows and iOS (iPad). This is particularly interesting for teams that work in a mixed environment or want to access data on the move. In many companies, this is a real advantage because you don't have to standardize the entire hardware world just to be able to operate an ERP.<\/li>\n
\nThe software is available in several expansion stages so that you don't have to go \u201etoo big\u201c:
\n- gFM-Business Open Source: free entry with CRM, addresses, article\/warehouse (1 warehouse), invoices\/credit notes plus developer module (documentation of tables\/fields\/scripts) - ideal for taking a look or as a basis for customizations.
\n- gFM-Business OS-Plus: extends Open Source to include time recording\/services and additional document types including conversion logic (order \u2192 delivery bill \u2192 invoice etc.).
\n- gFM-Business Basic: for many SMEs the \u201eclassic\u201c start with more CRM\/correspondence\/cashbook\/project and store functions.
\n- gFM-Business Professional: for more demanding processes (e.g. several clients, storage locations, languages system-wide, variants, parts lists\/batches, ticket system, several online stores in parallel).<\/li>\n
\nThe open license is intended for companies (or FileMaker partners) who want to extensively adapt and expand gFM-Business themselves - with full administration rights in FileMaker. The advantage: processes can be adapted during operation if the market, product range, team or internal processes change. This is typical for businesses that want individual software on a stable basis in the long term instead of changing the system every few years. Note from the side: FileMaker Pro Advanced is required for the open license.<\/li>\n
\nYes, a Claris FileMaker Pro license is required for single workstation operation. If several workstations are used via peer-to-peer sharing, an additional Claris FileMaker Pro license is required for each workstation. The use of FileMaker Server is recommended for five or more users in the network.<\/li>\n
\nYes - gFM-Business is designed precisely for this classic \u201eoffice machine room\u201c: from quotation to invoice, including follow-up documents. It is particularly practical when conversions are automated (e.g. order \u2192 delivery bill \u2192 invoice), because this reduces errors and saves time - especially with recurring processes or store imports.<\/li>\n
\nYes - gFM-Business Professional includes support for electronic invoices in accordance with ZUGFeRD and Factur-X as well as Swiss-QR; PDFs with embedded e-invoice information are generated. This is particularly important because e-invoice requirements are increasing and companies prefer to set up cleanly at an early stage instead of frantically retrofitting later.<\/li>\n
\nThe software is prepared for multilingualism throughout the system. According to the product page, Light\/Professional includes German, English and French, for example, and the language can be changed per user - including labels, dialogs and selection\/value lists. Important for practical use: Print layouts are also available in all available languages and texts can be adapted\/extended.<\/li>\n
\nIf you want to map several legal entities, branches or company divisions in one system, this is typically a professional topic: according to the site, several clients and storage locations are supported, including extended article and warehouse logic. For growing companies, this is a classic point at which you move from \u201esimple merchandise management\u201c to \u201ereal ERP\u201c.<\/li>\n
\nYes - for Professional, product variants, price-relevant properties, parts lists and batch management are mentioned. These are precisely the functions that many systems sell as expensive \u201eon top\u201c - but in practice are quickly indispensable for product ranges with variants (size\/color\/material) or for production\/assembly.<\/li>\n
\ngFM-Business Basic and Professional contain an online store interface (Basic for one store; examples include Shopware, WooCommerce, Gambio, Modified) and in Professional also several parallel stores - even in mixed operation of different store systems. According to the description, the open license also allows the interface to be adapted to individual requirements or extended to other REST-capable stores.<\/li>\n
\nThe page describes that gFM-Business Professional includes OpenAI\/ChatGPT integration for the first time to generate AI documents and AI texts in the ERP software. The practical benefit is usually not a \u201egimmick\u201c, but everyday text work: templates, formulations, standard texts, internal notes - where teams would otherwise lose time or become inconsistent.<\/li>\n
\nA strong point is the integrated printing system: print layouts can be edited or newly created in FileMaker layout mode, just like in a text\/DTP environment. New layouts are assigned to a program section and are then immediately available. This is classic \u201eFileMaker thinking\u201c: it is better to adapt pragmatically instead of waiting years for manufacturer roadmaps.<\/li>\n
\ngFM-Business includes various formats for imports\/exports (including text\/tab, CSV, Excel, FileMaker, DBF; plus Office merge\/serial letter paths). Depending on the module, the page also lists additional exports such as DATEV (in the cashbook context) and other financial\/payment formats on subpages. For many companies, this is precisely what is crucial: you remain capable of acting because data can be exported and imported - even without \u201emonster integration\u201c.<\/li>\n
\nYes - according to the product page, there is an integrated e-mail client (POP3\/IMAP). E-mails from known addresses can be automatically assigned to contacts. Practical effect: less \u201emailbox chaos\u201c and more customer history in one place - just like you used to have it neatly in file folders, only digital and searchable.<\/li>\n
\nTypical usage scenarios are described for gFM-Business: in the local network (e.g. FileMaker Pro\/Server, access from outside via VPN) or as a share via the Internet (web server + FileMaker Server or gFM-Business Cloud). This is important because it leaves you several options - depending on whether you prefer to work in the classic office network or across different locations.<\/li>\n
\nThe conservatively smart way is: first collect requirements, then select version, then start with a clear pilot process (e.g. article\/stock + documents + 1-2 standard prints). gofilemaker.de offers access to the various platforms\/versions as well as downloads\/info. Many companies save the most if they don't do everything \u201eperfectly\u201c at once, but instead build up the software step by step in the same way that processes have traditionally grown - only this time cleanly documented and stably automated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
