Case Study: Jones Companies modernizes recycling workflows and gains real-time visibility with FileMaker and MacTutor

Recycling Firm revolutionizes its operations with award-winning FileMaker app connecting its offices with the field

Jones Companies, a leading cardboard recycling firm, faced significant growth challenges due to its slow and inefficient paper-based system for managing routes, customers, and bookkeeping. To modernize its operations, the company partnered with vendor Claris and its development partner, MacTutor, to create a custom workflow app using FileMaker.

The solution, an award-winning iPad app developed by MacTutor, seamlessly connected the office with field drivers by replacing paper forms, integrating with QuickBooks and Google Maps, and providing real-time data on truck locations and cargo. This implementation by Claris' partner gave the company greater efficiencies and visibility into its operations, which directly enabled it to acquire a competitor and add new routes without a significant increase in administrative workload.
