AUSTIN, Texas—Whole Foods Market programmer analyst Bryce Bartley said FileMaker Pro allows the company to save time and be more organized. Whole Foods Market has used FileMaker Pro to create, manage and find all in-store signage and sales flyers for more than six years. "Most of what makes us excited about FileMaker Pro 11 is the attention to detail and refinements to the program. Things like Layout Folders and the consolidated tools in the new Inspector really save us time when building our FileMaker files."
Bartley added, "The feature I am most excited about is the Quick Find field in FileMaker Pro 11. Our FileMaker files contain all the signage for our stores. With large files covering tons of products and ingredients, it has been a hassle in the past using scripts to search multiple fields for the same criteria. With this new feature, we have one universal place in every file that we can use to find whatever we need. Whether it's an allergen statement, an ingredient, or a product name, we can easily find it without having to script a thing."
FileMaker Pro 11 allows the company's programming staff and the employees to be organized. "Layout Folders let us organize our layouts much better,” Bartley said. “Before we had an ever-growing list of sign layouts, but now we can keep it organized and help our stores find the exact sign layout they need-in a fraction of the time."
