Conventions and large-scale events involve tight timelines, complex schedules, and hundreds of deliveries—all of which must be flawlessly executed. Between navigating venue restrictions, coordinating vendor drop-offs, and managing real-time changes, logistics can become chaotic without the right system in place.
Claris FileMaker offers a powerful solution to manage high-volume logistics with precision. By centralizing delivery schedules, route planning, and live status updates in a single platform, FileMaker enables event organizers, operations teams, and 3PL providers to work in sync and avoid costly missteps.
The Challenge of Large-Scale Delivery Coordination
Managing hundreds of deliveries to a single venue involves a lot of moving parts:
Vendor Scheduling Conflicts – Without a central schedule, trucks can arrive at the same time or miss their windows.
Last-Minute Changes – Delays, reroutes, or updated booth assignments are common and require flexibility.
Compliance and Security – Many venues require detailed manifests or timed access passes.
Communication Gaps – Lack of shared access to real-time info causes confusion among teams and vendors.
At this scale, relying on spreadsheets or manual processes is a recipe for bottlenecks and frustration.
