Before Shop Titan
Spreadsheets for everything - orders, inventory, production tracking, customer info. 4 different Google Sheets, none connected.
Spreadsheets Were Costing Real Money
The shop was running on spreadsheets for 3 years. As order volume grew past 150 orders/month, the cracks became impossible to ignore.
The Solution
Website + FileMaker - Deployed in 6 weeks from kickoff to go-live
We deployed the complete system - FileMaker for back-office operations and a connected ecommerce storefront. Existing customer data, product catalog, and pricing were imported from their spreadsheets during week 1.
The Results
Zero Order Errors. 6 Hours Saved Per Week.

Within the first month, order errors dropped to zero. The two employees who spent hours updating spreadsheets now focus on production. Customer calls about order status are answered in seconds because the system tracks everything in real time.
"We did not realize how much time we were wasting until we stopped wasting it. The system paid for itself in the first month just from the errors we stopped making."
