tracks costs centers,The food and beverage portion is a bit clunky when trying to type what you need
There is not enough space in the rooms needed portion for a large campus-wide event,7,we can track our spending pretty easily,,Microsoft AccessLynelle EhartFileMaker Pro Library Software Review2018-11-16T19:33:44.817ZWe use FileMaker Pro to help organize our catalogs of backgrounds and props. We also built a custom set up to help maintain a library of animal talent for our shoots. It helps us to search by MANY different methods as well as generate quick PDFS that we can send to clients and other people in the studio. Most of the production staff in the studio uses FileMaker Pro. You do have to have the system stored on a server so that many people can access that, but for a larger company like ours, that wasn't really an issue. The ability to format the program and generate layouts that work best for your needs is pretty great. Although that part of it can be tricky, and takes a bit of time to learn. Searching inventories is really simple, though.,FileMaker Pro makes searching through internal inventories very easy. You can search by many different keywords.
FileMaker Pro is very simple to use when populating the inventories and catalogs.
The software is very customizable. Which is great for many different types of uses and businesses.,Customizing FileMaker Pro can be tricky for people who aren't super familiar with that type of work.
The software is really good, just needs a little more user friendliness or simplicity.,7,It's made everyone be able to search libraries. It provides all the information to everyone and is stored in one place.
It's helped to spread the work as many people can access and use the software.,,Adobe Photoshop, Slack, Microsoft 365 BusinessMandi KohlmeierFileMaker Pro At Work2018-12-19T01:23:12.402ZFileMaker Pro is used across our organization. We utilize its flexibility and scalability to manage and monitor our core business.,FMP allows us to easily add information and fields to existing applications as our business needs dictate.
FMP works very well with a workforce that is spread throughout the country.
FMP allows us to add roles to individuals so that we can tailor their views to what they do.,FMP Server can be difficult to work with at times. Not easy to migrate to a new server.,8,FMP in our environment is constantly evolving. By adding new functionality we are able to reduce repetition and minimize the number of locations data is stored. Making us more efficient.
As we get more dependent on FMP it is apparent the amount of work it would take to migrate to another platform.,,Quick Base, Ubuntu Linux, Microsoft 365 Business,25,2,Ability to communicate to all necessary parties the status of our conferences.
Ability for management to get high-level views of the business and drill down where needed.
Ability of conference management team to expertly handle the growing requirements of the position without the need to add additional staff.,The ability to automate some time-sensitive processes and remove most human intervention has led to less confusion and errors.,We are looking at expanding FMP into other areas of the company. Anytime we have people working off of shared spreadsheets we look to see if there would be a benefit to creating an app in FMP.,10Verified UserFileMaker Pro - exactly what you want, when you want, and how you want it.2018-08-24T21:43:19.558ZFileMaker Pro is the key to our business. It is our CRM as well as our data management. We use Filemaker Pro and Filemaker Go combined to create mapping and routing for our clients. All reporting is customized via FMPro.
FileMaker Pro is essential to our business, making sure that we are organized and stay on top of our day to day operations.,Customized database. We have all the information that we need and could possibly want at our fingertips.
Organization. We have client information, vendor information, and personnel information organized in a logical and secure way. Because of the custom settings, only certain people are able to view all of the data - while others are only allowed to view what is needed.
Working with FMGo - we are at the forefront of reporting technology. Our people personal work independently across the country and we see their results in seconds.,Making changes is sometimes difficult and we do work with an FM developer. While we like our developer, we do wish it was easier to do on our own.
FMPro is sometimes glitchy with how it outputs data. Because we've been working with it for so long and it's so customized, we have work arounds, but something we just want to be able to export things as spreadsheets in the first place. :),9,FM Pro has completely changed our business. We used to be very paper heavy and now everyone is fully mobile. Our time for campaigns is 5 to 8 business days when it used to take upwards of 21 days.
Our reporting is up to date and 'flashy'. We recently revamped our reporting and it's fully customized via FM Pro.,,Google DriveVerified UserFileMaker Finesse2018-05-21T20:47:59.649ZFileMaker Pro is used across the whole company in every department. It is the main ERP we use. And works well enough in every department but it does work better for some departments than others.,It is very customizable. Our IT department can add or remove anything our company needs which helps as we grow and our needs change.
Our purchasing department likes the fact that creating a PO is intuitive and sending POs to our vendors is very simple.
Our sales department likes that quotes are always saved along with a version of any changes. It also turns quotes into invoices with a simple click which makes the fast-paced sales easier.,One issue we have is that the accounting portion of this software is not easy. It takes a lot of extra labor to do easy things. Like creating debit memos.
Because it is so customizable it can open things up for errors that shouldn't have been there so people weren't allowed to add whatever they wanted.
The last thing I would say is that the version we use does not allow us to pull a lot of marketing reports and we always have to involve IT to help pull the simplest of reports, like if we want a list of email addresses for our customers.,6,A negative impact is that there are few people that can help when problems arise and they charge a premium because you have limited options.
A positive is that we have been able to use it for a long time and so we have not had to spend time and money on the new system.
Another positive is that, once you're trained in one department, cross training is very easy since the same system is used throughout the business. This saves time and money and can help us when we are an employee down.,Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, Avalara ReturnsTessa Peterson
