DataMarq Solutions

Custom business software, built on tools that last.

We build and modernize the systems companies run on — custom applications, integrations, and reporting — with Laravel, AI, and Claris FileMaker. We host it too, so there is no server for you to worry about.

Technologies

The tools we build on

We keep a deliberately narrow stack. These are platforms we know deeply, that have long track records, and that someone else can still maintain years from now.

Web applications & APIs

Laravel

When a project needs to live on the web — customer portals, public-facing tools, APIs that tie systems together — Laravel gives us a mature, well-documented foundation. We deploy to Laravel Cloud, so there are no servers for you to patch, no certificates to renew, and no 2 a.m. call when traffic spikes.

  • Customer and vendor portals
  • REST APIs and system integrations
  • Hassle-free hosting on Laravel Cloud
  • Zero-downtime deploys, TLS, and autoscaling handled
  • Scheduled jobs, queues, and reporting
  • Bridging FileMaker solutions to the web

Applied, not decorative

AI & automation

We use AI where it measurably saves time — including coding agents that reproduce, diagnose, and fix bugs in your existing codebase, and models that pull structured data out of documents. Every agent-authored change goes through the same review and testing as ours, and we are candid about where AI does not belong.

  • Agentic bug fixing on existing codebases
  • AI-assisted refactoring and test coverage
  • Document and email data extraction
  • Natural-language search across internal data
  • Drafting and summarization inside existing workflows
  • Guardrails, human review, and cost controls

Custom business apps

Claris FileMaker

Nearly 30 years of FileMaker experience, from the early versions through current Claris releases. We build and maintain solutions, and we know the platform well enough to say when a system has outgrown it — and what to do about it when it has.

  • Converting FileMaker solutions to web applications
  • New solution design and build
  • Rescuing and modernizing inherited files
  • Server setup, performance tuning, and upgrades
  • Hybrid setups where FileMaker and the web run side by side

Also in the toolbox

  • PHP
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Vue
  • Livewire
  • REST & GraphQL APIs
  • Claris Server
  • Power BI
  • Excel automation

Our specialty

FileMaker solutions, rebuilt for the web.

Moving a FileMaker solution to the web usually takes two skill sets that rarely sit with the same person: deep familiarity with the system you already have, and the ability to build its replacement for the web. Most of the risk in these projects lives in the handoff between the two.

We do both. Nearly 30 years in FileMaker means we can read what your solution actually encodes about your business — including the rules that were never written down — and rebuild it in Laravel without losing them along the way.

What that looks like in practice

  • Auditing an existing solution and mapping what it really does
  • Phased migration — no big-bang cutover, no frozen business
  • Keeping FileMaker where it still wins, web where it does not
  • Clean data migration with reconciliation you can verify
  • A documented API layer so the two can run side by side

Services

How we help

Most engagements start as one of these and turn into another. We can take on the whole lifecycle — build it, host it, and keep it healthy.

Build something new

Scoping and building a custom application around how your business actually works, rather than bending the business around off-the-shelf software.

Modernize what you have

Inherited a system nobody understands? We audit it, document it, and bring it forward without a risky rip-and-replace.

Connect your systems

Getting your applications talking to each other so data is entered once and stays consistent everywhere it appears.

Hassle-free hosting

We host what we build on Laravel Cloud — zero-downtime deploys, automatic TLS, and autoscaling, with no server for you to think about or pay someone to patch.

AI-assisted maintenance

Coding agents that reproduce and fix bugs in your existing codebase, with every change reviewed and tested before it ships.

Ongoing support

Steady, responsive help for the systems you depend on — upgrades, fixes, and enhancements without a full-time hire.

Integrations

Systems that talk to each other

Integration work is a constant regardless of what a project is built on. Whether the system is FileMaker, Laravel, or something you already run, the job is the same: data entered once, consistent everywhere it appears, without anyone rekeying it between two screens.

Services we have integrated with

  • Shopify
  • UPS
  • FedEx
  • QuickBooks Online
  • and custom REST & SOAP APIs

About

Senior work, start to finish.

DataMarq Solutions is built around direct access. You work with the people writing the code, from the first conversation through to the system running in production — nothing gets relayed through an account manager to a team you never meet.

We have spent decades building the systems businesses actually run on, which is long enough to have watched a lot of software outlive the company that sold it. That shapes what we reach for: tools with long lifespans, real documentation, and communities still around to answer questions. The system we build for you should still be maintainable years from now, by someone who is not us.

The same instinct shapes how we treat AI. It is genuinely useful for specific problems, and we will tell you plainly when your problem is not one of them.

How we work

You talk to whoever built it
Questions go to the person who wrote the code, not to a ticket queue.
We document as we go
Handover notes and working docs, so the knowledge is not stuck in our heads.
We take on fewer projects
A short client list, and the attention that comes with it.
We will tell you no
If custom software is the wrong answer, or we are the wrong shop, we say so early.

Have a system that needs attention?

Tell us what is not working. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit — and who might be, if we are not.
