Before Shop Titan
Shopify website with manual order re-entry into spreadsheets. 2-3 orders lost per week.
Orders Were Entered Twice - and Still Got Lost
The shop had a Shopify store that generated 40+ orders per week. Every order was manually re-entered into their spreadsheet system. Errors were constant.
The Solution
Website + FileMaker - Deployed in 10 weeks from kickoff to go-live
We replaced Shopify with a connected Shop Titan storefront and deployed the FileMaker system. Orders flow from website to production automatically. Customers see real-time status. Art files attach to orders.
The Results
Zero Lost Orders. 20 Minutes Saved Per Order.

Orders now flow from the website directly into the FileMaker system with all specs, quantities, art files, and customer info attached. No re-entry. No lost orders. Customers check their own status through the portal instead of calling.
"We used to joke that re-entering orders was a full-time job. Now it is zero minutes of anyone's day. The system just handles it."
