FileMaker Delivers Mission Critical Sales Solution for Monster Cable

Brisbane, CA - based Monster Cable is the world's leading manufacturer of audio, video and stereo speaker cabling products. FileMaker Pro, the award winning database software from FileMaker, Inc., serves as a workflow backbone for mission critical sales and marketing applications that keep Monster Cable the leader in its industry.

'We've used FileMaker Pro for years and the product is the heart of our sales effort,' says Peter Radsliff, director of marketing with Monster Cable. 'We've used it to automate and customize our communication and marketing business processes, an effort that has contributed significantly to a five-fold increase in sales during the past five years.'

Monster Cable deploys more than 90 Windows and MacOS FileMaker Pro databases that are the engine for marketing-centric applications that include:
* an internal communication, word processing and task management application for bringing new products to market;
* a product archive and publishing application for the company's 3500 products addressing 12 markets; and
* a product personalization tool that identifies and aggregates the optimal Cable Monster product mix for each retailer

FileMaker Pro's ease of use and diverse capabilities enable Radsliff and his staff to manage specific projects such as track photographic images, create and route new product work orders, develop and publish client presentations - even remind a sale representative an opportunity is ripe for closing.

'We've standardized on FileMaker Pro because it reduces staff time spent on any task, increases efficiency wherever deployed and delivers sales results that greatly impact our company's bottomline', says Radsliff.
