New Client Story: Lab9 & ClickWorks
How do you scale internal systems to support a growing retail and service network; without losing agility?
From building their first FileMaker tool in-house back in 1993 to powering daily operations for 300+ employees today, Lab9 has always valued efficiency and innovation. When their internal platform needed a complete redesign, they partnered with us at ClickWorks.
Together, we reimagined their platform by refining design, improving day-to-day usability, and supporting teams across service, retail, and operations. It’s a collaboration that still continues today.

Work flow complete before bottom of second cup of coffee.
Ocean West posted a topic in AI Programming,
The task at hand was finding an API for one of our clients that could provide a comprehensive list of their clients stores. The goal was to cross-reference this with our database, ensuring each store was accounted for. Despite my efforts, the search came up empty. However, their website presented an intriguing alternative: a detailed directory segmented by state and country.
My initial approach was to examine the website's HTML, yet this only yielded the default data. Attempts to append the URL to load data from different countries proved futile. The website's dropdown appeared to use JavaScript to pull varying data sets. My initial assumption was that each selection triggered a new query. However, upon closer inspection, I discovered a JSON object nestled just before the closing body tag. Rather than querying anew each time, the JavaScript simply drew from different arrays within this pre-loaded object.

0 commentsOne of the greatest advantages of FileMaker's built-in charting tool is its immediate access to aggregated data. This is especially useful when you don't need highly customized charts. If you do require full visual control, using a Web Viewer with JavaScript typically offers much greater flexibility. The downside to that approach, however, is the development time required to extract the data from FileMaker and format it for use in JavaScript. Fortunately, with the help of AI, that process has been significantly streamlined. Still, if you’d prefer to avoid the longer JavaScript route, FileMaker’s native charts have a lot to offer.
While not particularly difficult to use, native charts come with some surprisingly powerful advantages. I recently had a project that called for a quick solution, and I was able to leverage a little-known trick that made native charts an exceptionally efficient choice.
If you need to visualize your data using any of FileMaker’s standard chart types, this short video might provide some new insights into just how useful native charts can be!
