Spikeball has become so much more than just a game.

00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:08.580
[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.540
We’re a tight knit community with millions of players,

00:00:11.680 --> 00:00:16.540
hundreds of tournaments and we have trade shows, seminars, social gatherings.

00:00:16.540 --> 00:00:18.540
Spikeball is camaraderie at its finest.

00:00:19.360 --> 00:00:21.420
But as a company we found ourselves in a work rut.

00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:23.420

[CITY NOISE]

00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:32.840
And a lot of our business areas we were doing low value tasks manually that needed to be automated.

00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:38.200
As a growing business you can often see the problem, but you don’t necessarily have the right tool to fix it.

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.480
But then one day, my boss sent me a link for this software called FileMaker.

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:45.120 
And he’s like hey, this seems like something cool.

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:48.280
And I checked it out and was like okay this seems super customizable

00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:53.160 
the more I dove into it, I was like okay I think I can build something to fix our issues.

00:00:53.300 --> 00:00:59.200
Mobility is key for us because at any given moment we could have employees running tournaments, and events, trade shows

00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.980
in multiple states at the same time and we need to be able to share information

00:01:02.980 --> 00:01:07.180
and prepare the equipment and send out orders in order to make that run effectively.

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:12.140
So we used to have to download information and then do double entry to both our inventory and our shipping software,

00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:14.140
But thanks to FileMaker's API integrations

00:01:14.260 --> 00:01:18.540
what used to take an hour, now only takes 45 seconds and we do it with the click of a button.

00:01:18.540 --> 00:01:24.560
This was the platform we were looking for I’ve been getting connecting and in some ways replacing the appliance apps we were using before.

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:30.460
And today we have one streamlined dashboard that allows me to see and access all the information I need from one place,

00:01:30.460 --> 00:01:31.620
anywhere.

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.680
FileMaker isn’t just a platform to solve general business problems,

00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:36.680
it’s a platform to solve your business problems.

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.620
Our app continues to grow just like our business does.

00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:41.620
And I think that’s a true sign of innovation.

00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:43.620
Without FileMaker we’d still be a good company,

00:01:43.620 --> 0:01:47.700
but with FileMaker we’re a smart company, that continues to innovate
 
00:01:47.700 --> 00:01:48.920
solve its problems.

00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:50.920
And I think that’s an amazing thing.

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.720
