Spikeball has become so much more than just a game.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
We’re a tight knit community with millions of players,
hundreds of tournaments and we have trade shows, seminars, social gatherings.
Spikeball is camaraderie at its finest.
But as a company we found ourselves in a work rut.

And a lot of our business areas we were doing low value tasks manually that needed to be automated.
As a growing business you can often see the problem, but you don’t necessarily have the right tool to fix it.
But then one day, my boss sent me a link for this software called FileMaker.
And he’s like hey, this seems like something cool.
And I checked it out and was like okay this seems super customizable
the more I dove into it, I was like okay I think I can build something to fix our issues.
Mobility is key for us because at any given moment we could have employees running tournaments, and events, trade shows
in multiple states at the same time and we need to be able to share information
and prepare the equipment and send out orders in order to make that run effectively.
So we used to have to download information and then do double entry to both our inventory and our shipping software,
But thanks to FileMaker's API integrations
what used to take an hour, now only takes 45 seconds and we do it with the click of a button.
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.
And today we have one streamlined dashboard that allows me to see and access all the information I need from one place,
anywhere.
FileMaker isn’t just a platform to solve general business problems,
it’s a platform to solve your business problems.
Our app continues to grow just like our business does.
And I think that’s a true sign of innovation.
Without FileMaker we’d still be a good company,
but with FileMaker we’re a smart company, that continues to innovate
solve its problems.
And I think that’s an amazing thing.
