Welcome to TimeGain Software

We are, primarily, FileMaker™ Developers and we've been doing it since 1987. We've been using FileMaker since its early days as a flat file database until now when, as Version 9, it is an absolute powerhouse with direct links to SQL databases, an API for PHP to allow for seamless database web publishing and great design tools. We've developed literally hundreds of custom solutions as well as two commercial programs, TimeGain Billing (which is currently used in 11 countries with almost $1 million in sales) and Hay & Crop Manager (which was just chosen as a 'Top Ten New Product for 2008' by the World Ag Expo).

We've developed solutions for the following industries:

... just for a start but we develop for any and all industries. The truth of the matter is that the fundamental principles of all businesses are exactly the same; be efficient, control your assets and make money. Sure, there are specifics for each industry but we pick those up as we go along by listening to what our clients tell us they need.

We specialize in intuitive interfaces

No matter how good your program is, if it doesn't look good and is easy to use, then your users will fight against using it; some will even stoop to sabotage!

We use a lot of photographic imagery as navigation and functional buttons; after all, what is more obvious to a user than the meaning of a photograph. Sometimes we spend hours at iStockPhoto trying to find the perfect image. Then we go into Photoshop and play until we are totally satisfied with the message we are trying to convey. After that, those images are inserted into the database.
