Case Study: Wings Unlimited achieves seamless high-volume event management with Claris FileMaker Platform

Connecticut event planners soar with FileMaker

Wings Unlimited is a Connecticut-based event design firm that creates bespoke experiences for groups from 20 to 1,500 attendees. Their challenge was managing constantly shifting logistics—venues, travel, rooming, agendas and last-minute changes—across thousands of locations while keeping accurate, up-to-date information instantly available to planners and clients.

They implemented two FileMaker-powered custom apps: a venue database with profiles on 3,500+ locations and an event/attendee app that tracks rooming, meals, travel, schedules and touchpoints. The apps let planners find venues quickly, update plans in real time, handle large-scale events reliably and respond to clients immediately—enabling high-quality work at exceptional volume and preventing costly errors or lost data.
