The customer needed to automate the process of entering transport orders from various partners. Previously, orders had to be manually retyped into the system, which was time-consuming and error-prone. The goal was to create a system that would automatically retrieve order data from partners.
We developed an automated system that regularly checks partner FTP servers. Using our ToolBox plug-in, a FileMaker script logs into the FTP, analyzes the files, and parses their content according to the predefined Fortras format. Each new order is then automatically created in the system without manual input.
This solution greatly simplified administration and eliminated human errors. Now, partners simply upload a file to their FTP server, and the system takes care of the rest.
