Case Study: The Fields Studios streamlines billing and reporting with Claris FileMaker

The Fields Studios streamlines operations across 9 stages with Claris

The Fields Studios, a purpose-built media campus in Chicago, faced challenges managing complex day-to-day operations for TV and media production. Their off-the-shelf software was inflexible, unable to handle specific billing needs or provide real-time data for forecasting, leaving leadership without the insights needed for high-stakes decisions. They turned to Claris and its FileMaker platform for a custom solution.

Claris FileMaker was used to build a collection of custom apps that digitally transformed the studio’s operations. The solution streamlined scheduling, invoicing, and reporting, providing real-time visibility into stage usage and finances. This led to greater operational efficiencies, faster billing cycles, and actionable revenue insights for forecasting. The Claris solution replaced manual processes and disconnected tools, enabling data-driven decision-making and creating a scalable foundation for the studio's continued growth.
