Working out the steps to improve your company’s digital capabilities can be so hard. There can be so many options or tools and everyone has different advice. Sometimes an off-the-shelf solution can seem like it would be the catch all, quick–win solution.
Giving into temptation! An out–of–the–box solution will solve all my problems… won’t it?
However, while we know temptation is great, it rarely is the easy answer. And this quote from the Mobile Tyre Shop pretty much sums up why.
“We thought we could use an out-of-the-box solution, but we’re not an out-of-the-box business.”
Mobile Tyre Shop spent two years getting an expensive, off-the-shelf SaaS product ready to launch. Once launched, the SaaS platform fell flat and was eliminated after a month when sales declined. Unfortunately, when it comes to software, most of the time, one size does not fit all. Click the image below to see Claris’s video on their website:
Where did they go next? A custom Claris FileMaker solution to the rescue.
One of the Mobile Tyre Shop’s Team, Jamie, had previous experience with Claris and he decided that it could be the ideal solution for the Mobile Tyre Shop. They started with small functionality updates, gradually expanding the platform’s use. Eventually they transformed the entire company by using custom apps and integrations.
“The impact that Claris has had on our business is invaluable. FileMaker has really given us the backbone of our digital operations and the data to support our business growth.
Claris FileMaker helped us build a series of connected services that no one has a template for. Thanks to Claris, we’re now a tyre shop for the digital age.”
