WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en-US 00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.040 I had no idea this was going to become this. 00:00:04.780 --> 00:00:07.500 This business started off as a way to help my wife. 00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:12.460 She couldn't ride in any of our UTVs or anything that we had, so we kind of dove in 00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:16.660 to the shocks and tried everything we could do to make the car ride smooth and soft, 00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:19.280 so that she could actually go on a ride. 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:20.800 And she did. 00:00:28.660 --> 00:00:34.180 The personality of our company is enthusiastic because we're all enthusiasts in this market. 00:00:34.190 --> 00:00:39.100 We all own UTVs and got into this business to try and make our personal cars ride better 00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:42.780 and that's blossomed into something that most people in the industry want, 00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:47.120 need, and it's allowed us to grow. Plus, it's a lot of fun. 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:51.420 Very serious, though, when it comes down to getting to our deadlines. We do anywhere from 00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:55.320 10 to 13 cars a day. It's just, it's a constant, you know, go go, go. 00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:05.360 What struck me when I started working with Claris FileMaker was 00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:09.680 there was an overwhelming sense of...ah...paper. (Laughs) 00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:12.060 There was a lot of paper flying around everywhere. 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.940 Constantly people needed to know what someone was told 00:01:14.940 --> 00:01:19.360 or was a customer called, or did you file this or did you run that deposit? 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:24.440 Where's the parts I needed? The process worked great for when you know, it was just a few people, but 00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:28.820 as the company grows, the paper stacks just started growing and growing and... 00:01:28.820 --> 00:01:31.840 Nobody--nobody really wants change, I mean I know we do, but deep down 00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:35.780 you like, "Ah, we've been so used to this paper system. I don't want digital." 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.440 Um--I'm gonna be--I was one of the ones that was like "No, I don't want 00:01:40.440 --> 00:01:46.380 this system at all," but the more I used it and I had it in front of me and it was just 00:01:46.380 --> 00:01:49.070 just clicking on everything like hey, this is this person. 00:01:49.070 --> 00:01:51.180 This is, it was literally right there, I had to do nothing. 00:01:58.160 --> 00:02:01.960 Now when I walk into the shop, I just see everybody on their iPads and they know exactly what 00:02:01.961 --> 00:02:05.950 to do, and everybody's getting notified major milestones are happening and the neat part 00:02:05.950 --> 00:02:10.060 about Claris FileMaker is that we, we are able to take that attention to detail, 00:02:10.060 --> 00:02:15.260 we're able to work in an agile format where we can focus on solving one thing at a time, 00:02:15.260 --> 00:02:17.620 and over time, we're able to streamline the whole business. 00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:21.620 Gina, the Operations Manager, she put up with a lot. 00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:28.220 A year ago, it looked like a paper graveyard on her desk and now, you can breathe. 00:02:28.620 --> 00:02:34.480 We knew how amazing it was going to be. We knew how much it was going to cure for us. 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:40.660 But we had no idea what it really was going to do once it was in place. 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.640 And it's been 10 times better than we thought it was going to be, even through that design process.
