CONTACTS! v5
Contacts, companies, activities, categories, communication history and CRM.
FileMaker business systems
Take Control.
CRM, workflow and publishing systems that can grow with the business.
Cruse Control develops practical FileMaker-based systems for managing contacts, jobs, projects, advertising sales and subscriptions — ready-made, customisable or built around an existing business process.
Ready-made & customisable
Choose the system closest to the way you already work.
The Cruse Control product family shares a common CRM foundation, then adds specialist workflow for different types of business.
WorkflowPLUS! v5
Everything in CONTACTS!, with jobs, projects, quotes, timesheets, purchasing and invoicing.
Publish! v4
CRM for publishers, with advertising bookings, subscriptions, sales leads, payments and revenue reporting.
FileMaker development
Not every useful database needs replacing.
Cruse Control can develop a new FileMaker solution, customise one of the existing products, or modernise a database that already contains years of business knowledge.
New systems
Build a FileMaker database around the real workflow rather than forcing the workflow around generic software.
Existing systems
Review, tidy, extend and bring forward FileMaker databases that have evolved over time.
Customisation
Adapt CONTACTS!, WorkflowPLUS! or Publish! around a particular organisation.
Consultancy & training
Practical help around the system, the process and the people who need to use it.
Experience
A long history, still in use.
The site archive contains products, client work, reviews and technical material spanning many years. The modernised site keeps that history visible while making a clear distinction between current information and archive material.

Client voices
What clients valued.
“The service we received from Cruse Control was wonderful… It is unusual to not only like a supplier, but even more unusual to trust them implicitly to provide you with correct and unbiased advice. Cruse Control did both!”
