Streamlining Operations with Custom Software Solutions

Basis Lighting is a leading designer and manufacturer of commercial lighting solutions, catering to a range of industries such as museums, offices, historic buildings, and exhibitions. Their operations rely on a comprehensive system to manage their product range, customer details, quotes, orders, delivery notes, invoices, and more. The existing system had been developed internally, but they needed external expertise to optimize the platform, add new features, and improve integration with their accounting system and website.

What We Did

To enhance their internal systems and business processes, we provided technical support to improve the functionality and integration of their solution. Some of the key actions included:

  • Adding seamless integration with their WordPress website to allow automatic updates of product information, new products, categorization, and product images directly from FileMaker.
  • Ensuring that the website content remains fresh and updated regularly with minimal manual effort.
  • Collaborating with their internal team to troubleshoot issues and improve features, such as refining database functionality and connecting with external systems like their accounting program.
Owner
Basis Lighting

We have worked with Cutting Edge for many years. As a lighting manufacturer we have very specific requirements and linking our accounts software to our FileMaker solution means accounting actually can be fun. An oxymoron but true. Cutting Edge also embedded our web admin into our FileMaker solution. Updating our website is now a doddle.

The Results

The integration between FileMaker and their website allows automatic synchronization of product information and images, ensuring that the website is always up-to-date. Overall, Basis Lighting benefits from more efficient operations, faster updates to both their website and internal systems, and a smoother connection between their accounting software and product management system.

  • Basis Lighting’s accounting and product management workflows have been streamlined, reducing manual input and enhancing efficiency.
  • The website’s admin interface was embedded directly within FileMaker, simplifying the process of updating the site.
