Case Study: Santiki Trading Company achieves hundreds of hours saved in order processing with Claris (FileMaker) iPad solution

ApparelMagic To Go for iPad, based on FileMaker Go, Transforms Business Operations at Santiki Trading Company

Santiki Trading Company, a U.S.-designed casual-wear manufacturer with production in Bali and Indonesia, struggled with slow, error-prone order processing: reps used paper, fax, and manual entry into spreadsheets, had no up-to-date inventory visibility, and carried bulky samples and reports—creating delays and mismatched accounting.

By deploying ApparelMagic To Go on iPad (built with FileMaker Go) Santiki gave sales reps a “virtual warehouse” that ties showroom orders directly into the central ApparelMagic FileMaker Server for real‑time inventory, manufacturing, billing, and reporting. The iPad solution cut order-processing time by hundreds of hours per month, reduced errors, improved customer service and upselling, and streamlined back‑end operations across the company.
