The challenge

The California Alliance for Jobs is required to report on critical incoming economic data quickly and accurately. Their previous FileMaker system had a feature to automatically match imported data with existing data; however, its inaccuracy required hours of tedious double-checking.

The Beezwax solution

Instead of trying to improve a system based on old logic, Beezwax recommended a full redesign. Beezwax’s own PiVOT template formed the core of the new solution, saving many hours of development time. Optimized for FileMaker 10, PiVOT’s sophisticated structural foundation and feature-rich interface provided a superior environment for a streamlined workflow

The success story

Beezwax reduced the run-time of the automated matching function from fifteen minutes to one minute, while vastly improving its accuracy. Further, we improved the review process by offering better visualization of possible matches, ranking them with a “relevance bar” – thus making the manual finishing process much faster and easier.
