FileMaker – Useful for One and All

Leveraging FileMaker as a Workplace OS

The best part of helping FileMaker users launch and leverage custom business solutions is tackling a unique challenge with every new project. The Claris platform is so easily tailored as a workplace operating system (OS) that different departments can use FileMaker to build different applications with customized workflows, designs, and integrations.

As a Platinum Partner, we’ve worked on quite a variety of different projects for different users in numerous industries. Our FileMaker consultants have explored hundreds of use cases and become well-versed in dozens of industry jargon and workflows.

Interestingly, its versatility makes it difficult to explain to others outside the FileMaker bubble what the platform is capable of. How do you clarify what’s possible when…almost anything is?

Claris has compiled a short list of (50! Trust us – that only scratches the surface) ways to use FileMaker as a workplace OS to illustrate all you can do on the platform. They’ve pulled from their most fun and exciting use cases, but to be fair, FileMaker makes a lot of your more monotonous workflows go faster, too.

Mobile Tyre Shop Customer Story

To demonstrate the impact FileMaker can make, the Claris team partnered with Mobile Tyre Shop to dig into how the business has grown on the platform. A big takeaway from this custom story is an emphasis on how you can adjust FileMaker to your needs. Instead of trying to adapt your business to a software product, the Claris platform molds to your business – leveraging its many features and functionalities to streamline your existing processes and launch the processes you genuinely need.

Skeptical of that claim? So was Jamie Cartwright, COO of Mobile Tyre Shop, and star of the Claris customer story. Their team started with just one small implementation of FileMaker, but before it was fully launched, other departments wanted in on the action too. The company has since doubled its sales inquiries while halving its operational staff. Today, the platform is integral to Mobile Tyre Shop’s operations and gives its team flexibility to move with industry and market changes.

But don’t take our word for it – check out the client story in the video below.
