FileMaker Go User Profile: Chelan Fresh

Today, Chelan Fresh Marketing’s inventory management system is supplemented with dozens of iPads and a custom FileMaker solution. Phase I started Fall 2013 with the conversion from clipboards to mobile inspection tools (i.e., iPads). Digitizing data sped up communications and decision-making and saved considerable time, which is critical in the fresh fruit business. Today, inspectors use iPads to check fruit quality, age, ripeness and other variables to determine where it goes next (immediate consumption, short term packaging, long term cold storage).
