Custom solutions for complex business challenges

As construction leader Hensel Phelps grew, the company found itself compiling over $1 billion in project proposals for construction jobs -- and no centralized bid management system. Numerous departments across the multi-national company were each maintaining project and cost information separately, creating extra work and missed opportunities for efficiencies. For a solution, Hensel Phelps turned to the Moyer Group. Using FileMaker Pro, the Moyer Group developed a relational workgroup solution that controls information about the projects, subcontractors used, and the project costs -- providing different levels of access to different people and groups. Now the Hensel Phelps enjoys centralized consolidation of information that previously had been spread across the company in a variety of disparate formats.

Business Challenge

The Moyer Group is in the business of solving unique and complex data management needs for small to large organizations. "Many organizations find they need specific, custom systems and reporting tools that off-the-shelf templates and applications can't deliver,” says Chris Moyer, CEO and founder of The Moyer Group. "The power and flexibility of FileMaker Pro make it an ideal application for our clients and the workgroups within them.”

Successful Solution

The Moyer Group has developed successful FileMaker Pro applications for fortune 1000 companies. Chris and his fellow principals -- Bob Bowers, Steve Lane, and Scott Love -- prefer FileMaker because of its power, ease of use, and especially its flexibility. "The flexibility of the FileMaker suite of products makes it ideal for large-scale, mission critical projects that don't have the luxury of being fixed in stone,” Chris notes. "These are systems that have to evolve with the businesses that rely on them.”

Customer Benefits

Launched in 1995, the Moyer Group has grown to three fully staffed offices across the United States. The firm's senior managers came from a variety of backgrounds including Claris (now FileMaker, Inc), Apple Computer, Scott-Foresman, and Macromedia.
