Organize your Business in One Place
Using the power of the Claris FileMaker platform, we created the Core CRM Pro
to manage the essential aspects of
your company.
Integrate your CRM with QuickBooks
Quickly connect QuickBooks with your FileMaker CRM and save time and energy by eliminating double entry of contacts, vendors, and invoices.
Go Mobile with a FileMaker CRM
A flexible CRM that lets you connect to your FileMaker data using an iPad to easily update contacts, generate notes, and create invoices.
Core CRM Pro
A customizable FileMaker CRM template
developed with a simplified design.
It comes pre-configured with integration to multiple applications - QuickBooks Desktop/Online, Outlook, Exchange, Google, and the Twilio API.
Easy to use, easy to customize.
The Core CRM Pro is a streamlined Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution built on the Claris FileMaker platform. This cloud-based solution was created to allow you and your team to keep all your key data in a centralized location.
Your clients and the relationships with those clients are important assets to your company. What you know about each client is essential to help retain and build upon these critical relationships. However, keeping track of contact information, invoices, important events, spreadsheets, and documents can be challenging. Having all of those details at your fingertips allows you to effectively assist your customers and allows you to build a relationship with clients.
The Core CRM Pro subscription is hosted and available making it the perfect solution to get you started no matter where you are. Since it is built in FileMaker, you have the flexibility to use the software with the out-of-the-box functionality or have it easily customized. A FileMaker CRM allows you to create a solution that is tailor-made to fit your specific processes, can be streamlined to improve your workflow, and expanded over time as your business grows.
The Core CRM Pro FileMaker template gives you the option to quickly connect and update your customer and invoice data in your QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online accounting file. And it comes pre-configured with the integration to Outlook, Exchange, Gmail, and the Twilio API for texting.
Contacts
Organize customers, leads & vendors
The Core CRM Pro Contacts module allows you to maintain all your contact information for leads, customers, and vendors. Users can track related notes, create appointments and tasks, add or view documents, and link your customer’s estimates, and invoices.
Sales
Manage sales with estimates & invoices
The Core CRM Pro provides one central location for your invoicing needs. Quickly create estimates and invoices for your contacts and track the progress of sales as deals develop and easily link them to your customers. Generate PDF documents for each invoice and email with the click of a button. With QuickBooks integration, your accounting staff can easily push invoices to QuickBooks and pull payment information into FileMaker.
QuickBooks integration and more
Keep your QuickBooks company file up-to-date*
The Core CRM Pro is pre-configured for integration with the option to connect to Intuit's® QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online accounting software. This eliminates duplicate data entry between FileMaker and QuickBooks and gives your team centralized knowledge about customers, invoices, and balances.
Core CRM Pro lets you explore additional integration options. You'll be able to connect to Outlook, Google, and the Twilio API for texting.
*These additional integrations with Core CRM Pro require the purchase of the applicable plug-in: for QuickBooks use FM Books Connector (for QuickBooks Desktop) or FM Books Connector Online (for QuickBooks Online ), for Outlook use Outlook Manipulator, and for Google use gManipulator. The Twilio API texting integration is configured for you to connect to your own Twilio API account.
Documents
Simplify & centralize your document storage
Using the innate security built into FileMaker, the Core CRM Pro provides you with reliable document storage. Your team can easily access the data and information they need. You can link documents, images, PDFs and more to your contacts and easily search with the use of tags, keywords, and descriptions.
Calendar & Events
Create appointments & track tasks for your team
With the Core CRM Pro's robust calendar, you can create appointments, keep track of assigned tasks, and link everything back to a contact. Quickly look at the events for a single day, week or month with multiple calendar view options. Easily set filters to view events for a specific team member or the entire team.
Dashboard
Manage your Contacts, Sales & Events
Use the Dashboard to analyze various lists, graphs, and charts on contacts and sales. See an overview of your team’s appointments, tasks, and all sales transactions. If you are connected to QuickBooks, your team can use the Dashboard to perform batch pushes of contacts and invoices to your QuickBooks company file.

QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online Integration
If you would like to integrate the Core CRM Pro with your QuickBooks file, we recommend you designate one person to be responsible for updating QuickBooks.
This should be the person with access to your QuickBooks file and assigned to push contacts and invoices to QuickBooks and pull balances.
For QuickBooks Desktop integration, the user will need the FM Books Connector plug-in and QuickBooks installed on a Windows machine. If your office is running Macintosh machines, QuickBooks Desktop integration will require one instance of Windows and QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.
For QuickBooks Online integration, the user will need the FM Books Connector Online Edition plug-in and access to the QuickBooks Online file on a Windows or Mac machine.
