Cortela by Linear Blue

Linear Blue are proud to announce the launch of Cortela's new website and mobile database development service for iPad - www.cortela.com.

Cortela is a division of Linear Blue dedicated to providing custom data solutions for Apple iOS devices - the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. We focus on delivering businesses access to their data from either SQL or FileMaker based back end solutions whilst on the go.

Many industries can benefit from the addition of iDevices to improve productivity, efficiency and customer satisfaction. Businesses are increasingly replacing the laptop with iPads, due to its lightweight, long battery life and ease of use. Making it the perfect device for employees traveling to and from meetings that require access to corporate data, management reports and internal databases.

Filemaker Go for iOS, our chosen development platform, has proven a success for corporates, retail, warehouses, airlines and education industries, to name but a few. Saving time, costs and resources, while increasing efficiency are by far outweighing the cost of purchasing this new technology. For example, United Airlines are deploying 11,000 iPads to pilots as electronic flight bags to replace paper flight manuals. The green benefits are enormous - saving 16 million sheets of paper every year (equivalent to more than 1,900 trees) and saving 326,000 gallons of jet fuel a year equates to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 3,208 metric tons.

The warehouse industry has benefited greatly from the creation of the iPad and FM Go. To be able to check live stock in and out anywhere on the warehouse floor is invaluable. We implemented a FM Go solution via iPads and iPod touches for TOT Shirts - one of our oldest clients, which enabled them to increase productivity and efficiency, giving an ROI in a matter of weeks against development.

Peter Joyce - Managing Director, TOT-Shirts:

"FileMaker Go is the product we have been waiting for since the launch of the iPad. That, in conjunction, with Linear Blue's ability to quickly respond to our requirements for a mobile solution within our warehouse has saved us time and money. Not only did they deliver a working solution within 2 weeks of FileMaker Go being launched, but they understood the way we needed our warehouse staff to work and delivered a unique interface that was both easy to use and quick to learn."

With the combination of our years of experience along with the flexibility of FileMaker Go there isn't much we can't create for you. Here are a few example applications of how Filemaker Go and the iPad or iPhone can benefit your organisation.

Customer Surveys

FileMaker Go via the iPad/iPhone is a great tool for customer surveys. You can work with a direct connection to an online database or store responses gathered while offline and import them to a management system later.

You can view results instantly on summary report screens, and accompany customers feedback with a photo or signature.

Education

The iPad interface to our outstanding KeyPupil for Hospitals product enables teachers to have access to student records right at the patient's bedside or anywhere on the ward.

From entering student review information and printing reports straight from the iPad, the entire process runs like clockwork.

Management Reports

Run your company from your iPad with a FileMaker Go solution. Get instant access to sales reports, presentations and data in meetings on the fly.

Cortela can create a management reporting interface whether you use Oracle, Microsoft SQL, MySQL or Filemaker Pro. You can access your reports anywhere you need, either on your internal network or via VPN protected access to the highest security standards.

Print reports directly to AirPrint compatible printers from your iOS device.

Warehouse

Give your warehouse staff instant access to view or update stock information, pick orders and perform many other warehouse tasks using any iOS device.

The iPad's light weight and built in WiFi networking mean your warehouse staff can access and update stock control information from the furthest corner of the warehouse improving speed and efficiency.
