Software
that works with you
We develop databases using Claris FileMaker.
And we tailor them to your specific requirements.
We believe in software that stays
Tailor-made rather than off-the-shelf. Swiss quality rather than being forced into the cloud. A solution you understand because we developed it with you.
That’s what we’ve been doing for over 25 years.
What inspires us
Four principles
01
Custom-made
Every development is tailored to your workflow.
02
Durability
We think in terms of decades, not sprint cycles and hypes.
03
Clarity
Your employees need to understand your solution.
And so does the next person on the team.
04
Availability
A direct line. No ticket system to come between you and the person you’re speaking to.
Our history
Development since FileMaker 2
Experience that looks forward
walkingtoyou was founded in 2000. What began as custom development for a handful of clients is now a hub for complex FileMaker and infrastructure solutions. We use FileMaker and other tools to develop databases for civil engineers, advertising agencies, photographers and charitable foundations.
Together with our partner company walkingtoweb, we offer a comprehensive range of secure cloud solutions for your FileMaker databases, emails and documents, all from a single source. We understand how businesses operate, and we also know how to set up and securely manage servers and complex infrastructures.
At walkingtoyou and walkingtoweb, you’ll find a wealth of experience spanning more than 35 years in IT and a multitude of successful projects.
How we work
From the initial briefing to maintenance
Concept
Your idea becomes our mission
It all starts with your vision – a challenge for which you are seeking a smart, sustainable solution.
You tell us about your goals, processes and requirements – and together we use this information to develop the right structure for your bespoke software concept.
Through this creative process, we gain a detailed understanding of your workflows and requirements, identify areas for optimisation and lay the foundations for a solution that fits your business perfectly – well thought-out, efficient and future-proof.
Development
From the idea to the customised solution
Based on the concept we have developed together, the structure of your bespoke software is built step by step. We draw on tried-and-tested modules – such as a customisable login system, flexible navigation menus and proven layout elements that can be seamlessly adapted to your corporate design.
You remain actively involved throughout the entire development phase. You can view the current progress, share your feedback and express your requirements – directly, simply and transparently.
Our aim is for you to be able to start working with your solution at an early stage. In this way, we gain valuable practical experience together and optimise the system whilst it is in operation, tailoring it precisely to your requirements.
Application
Your vision grows along with us
The handover does not mark the end of our journey together, but rather the beginning of a long-term partnership.
We remain at your side at all times, even during day-to-day operations: new ideas, changes or enhancements can be integrated flexibly, ensuring your solution grows in line with your requirements.
As we develop all databases in-house, we know every line of code – even many years later. This enables us to support you long-term, provide reliable assistance and respond quickly to changes.
Together with our partner company walkingtoweb, we offer secure hosting in our Swiss cloud – on private servers, protected and high-performance. This ensures your business software remains in the best hands, not only technically but also strategically.
