OVERVIEW

 

AFD has been the leading provider of display showcases for over 100 years. They operate on a very large scale and can supply tens of thousands of cases upon demand.

AFD are a family-run company that provides a complete line of high-quality showcases, which can be used to display all kinds of products, including jewelry, antiques, collectibles, and more. Cases are rented for trade shows and exhibitions across the United States.

Exhibitors consider AFD to be the top choice for satisfying all exhibition needs; from thousands of display cases at major jewelry industry trade shows to a single showcase at a private auction, they provide exhibitors and show managers with personalized, professional service and high-end products. They are the official showcase provider for the country’s most renowned trade shows.

 

PROBLEM

 

AFD faced three situations calling for a change. First, their core order tracking system needed significant upgrades and did not have the required capabilities. Second, the company wanted to add a web portal to support clients, present their wide range of showcases, and allow online ordering. Third, the company wanted a new, modernized system to automate processes, track inventory and assist in these transitions.

 

TASK

 

In looking for a replacement system, AFD reached out to many vendors to offer alternative approaches for modernizing their system. A key requirement was having up-to-the minute inventory control over multiple warehouses and active venues at any given time. In addition, since the company offers rentals not final sales, the company required a sophisticated inventory forecasting system to know the availability of every case for many months in advance.

 

The primary task was for Kyo Logic to develop a design for this tracking system in conjunction with AFD leadership. The business requirements were very detailed and precise reflecting the century of experience that AFD has in this business. In addition, Kyo Logic planned the design interface for a customer portal that would allow clients to handle orders online. Given the detailed logistics associated with this nationally scoped rental system, the integration requirements were extreme.

 

Finally, AFD wanted a control system to support hundreds of clients while onsite at a show. Technicians are texted a link to the service ticket (this step supports multiple languages, so these texts are sent in the technician’s primary language). The technicians can then update the status of the ticket and even add notes in their web browser.

The most recent addition is the ability for AFD customers to design their both layout through the web portal. Booth designs are sent to the AFD support team with detailed instructions on exactly where each case should go in the booth. This negates the need for hand-written layout designs and removes the guesswork from the process, saving hundreds of hours.

 

PROCESS

 

Kyo Logic worked closely with AFD to plan the new system and then built the core order processing system. This work included a multi-member development team working in Claris FileMaker in addition to integrating with other vendors such as payment processing banks, and other accounting systems. The initial system was developed in conjunction with the customer web portal. By business necessity, the system went live quite early in the process and led to a lot of learning on demand as process requirements emerged. Kyo Logic worked very closely with AFD during this period and continuously managed to improve timeliness of reporting and access to real-time statistics about case availability.

 

RESULTS

 

The new system now handles all elements of the case rental business. The web portal handles a third of all orders and the system works in a reliable and timely manner in a very high volume environment. The cloud-based system is available 24/7 and operates anywhere across the nation. A challenge has been the quality of wireless service at live conferences and shows. Kyo Logic continues to work with AFD to identify solutions to this essential wireless problem at shows. 

 

Currently, the company is having record rentals and the integrated operating environment has allowed the company to operate with a lean staff while maximizing utilization of its case inventory. Not only can the company forecast demand by case type for future shows, but it can also forecast inter-warehouse transfers. In addition, warehouse schedules are displayed on large monitors allowing staff to manage loading priorities. All this happens in a mostly paperless environment.

 

 

In fast-moving environments like conventions, field service, or equipment rentals, staying on top of inventory is crucial. Missing or overbooked items can lead to project delays, lost revenue, and unhappy clients. To operate efficiently, businesses need a way to track every delivery and return as it happens—with total accuracy and visibility.

Claris FileMaker offers a powerful way to track inventory in real time. With a custom FileMaker app, your team can monitor stock levels across multiple locations, log item deliveries and returns on the go, and reduce manual errors with barcode scanning or automated workflows. The result is a streamlined process that keeps everyone aligned—whether they’re in the office, on the warehouse floor, or at a client site.

Why Real-Time Inventory Tracking Matters

Outdated or manual tracking methods often lead to:

• Inaccurate Stock Counts – Items go missing or are double-booked.
  
  

• Delayed Deliveries – Teams lose time locating available inventory.
  
  

• Lost Revenue – Unavailable or forgotten items cause missed opportunities.
  
  

• Disjointed Workflows – Teams rely on phone calls or emails to confirm stock status.
  
  

These issues are magnified when your operations involve multiple events, frequent shipments, or 3PL coordination.

How FileMaker Simplifies Real-Time Inventory Management

With Claris FileMaker, your inventory system can be built to match your exact workflows. Here’s how it helps:

• Live Inventory Dashboards
  FileMaker apps show current item counts by category, location, and status. Warehouse teams and project managers can instantly see what’s available.
  
  

• Mobile Check-In/Check-Out
  Staff can scan items in and out using iPads or iPhones, automatically updating inventory in the central database.
  
  

• Track Deliveries and Returns
  Document the delivery, return, and condition of each item. Attach photos or notes to create an auditable chain of custody.
  
  

• Automate Notifications
  Trigger alerts when inventory is low or when returns are overdue, helping you stay proactive.
  
  

• 3PL Integration
  Coordinate inventory movement with third-party logistics providers by syncing FileMaker with external tracking systems or importing manifest data.
  
  

Designed for Your Operations

Unlike rigid out-of-the-box systems, FileMaker lets you customize every field, status, or report. Need to track serial numbers, condition reports, or upcoming reservations? Want to generate usage reports by event or client? You can build it all into your FileMaker solution—no coding team required.

Introduction: A Native FileMaker Solution for Exporting Container Data on Server

For years, exporting container data in FileMaker Server was a challenge. The standard method—Export Field Contents—is not server-compatible, meaning developers had to find workarounds, rely on plugins, or move data processing to the client side.

But now, thanks to FileMaker’s native Data File script steps, you can export container data directly on FileMaker Server—without additional tools, without the container field needing to be on the layout, and without complex scripting workarounds.

If you’ve ever searched for:

• How to export PDFs in FileMaker Server

• How to extract container data on a FileMaker scheduled script

• How to handle container exports without client interaction

… then this guide is for you.

Why This Method Matters

Key Benefits of Using the Data File Script for Container Exports:

• Works on FileMaker Server Scheduled Scripts & Perform Script on Server (unlike Export Field Contents)

• No need for third-party plugins

• Container fields don’t need to be present on the layout

• More control over file handling & automation

When Should You Use This?

This method is ideal for:

• Automating scheduled exports of PDFs, images, or documents stored in containers

• Processing large volumes of container data on the server without client-side scripts

• Exporting files in a multi-user system where container access needs to happen in the background

• Generating server-side backups of container data

• File transfers between FileMaker and external systems

Step-by-Step Guide: Exporting Container Data Using the Data File Script

1️⃣ Determine the File Name & Path

First, define a file path and file name that the script will use. Any valid FileMaker file path will work. In these instructions (and our demo file), we use:

plaintext

CopyEdit

$filepath

 

This variable will store the full file path of the exported container data.

 

2️⃣ Check for Existing Files

Before creating a new file, check whether the file already exists at $filepath.

💡 Use the Get File Exists function to determine if the file is present:

plaintext

CopyEdit

If [ Get File Exists ( $filepath ) ]

    Delete File [ $filepath ]

End If

 

If the file exists, Delete File ensures that the script removes the previous file before proceeding.

 

3️⃣ Create the New File & Write Data

Now, create a new data file and export the container’s contents.

Step 1: Create the Data File

Use the Create Data File script step to generate the new file. However, note that this does not automatically open the file for writing.

Step 2: Open the Data File

Once the file is created, use Open Data File to make it available for writing:

plaintext

CopyEdit

Set Variable [$fileReference; Open Data File ( $filepath )]

 

Step 3: Write Data to File

Use Write to Data File to write the actual container data into the newly created file:

plaintext

CopyEdit

Write to Data File [ $fileReference ; Data Source: <ContainerField> ]

 

This step directly points to the container field you want to export.

Step 4: Close the File (VERY IMPORTANT!)

After writing the data, ALWAYS close the file using Close Data File to ensure proper handling:

plaintext

CopyEdit

Close Data File [ $fileReference ]

 

Failing to close the file properly may result in corrupted data or issues accessing the file.

 

How This Method Compares to Export Field Contents

 

 

If you need WebDirect compatibility, stick with Export Field Contents. Otherwise, the Data File script offers a more robust server-compatible method.
