The schedule is a whiteboard and a guess.
When something slips, the whole week ripples. There's no visibility. The shop floor and the front office aren't on the same page until someone walks back and asks.
Who we serve
For the people who make things.
Manufacturing
Production schedules, parts inventory, custom orders, quality control. And the spreadsheets nobody trusts anymore. We build the tools to run a small shop like a small shop, not like a Fortune 500.
What we hear from manufacturing
Sound familiar?
Job shops, fabricators, custom manufacturers, light assembly. Different products, same friction. Here's what we hear most.
Inventory is "ask Mike."
Mike's been here 22 years. Mike knows where everything is. Mike is also retiring next year. The data lives in Mike's head. The risk grows every quarter.
Custom orders eat the margin.
Every "small change" turns into 3 hours of re-quoting and re-routing. The system isn't built for one-offs. But one-offs are the business. The math gets worse every year.
QC is a paper checklist.
Then a stack of paper. Then someone keys it into a spreadsheet. Then nobody looks at it again until something goes wrong. The data exists, but it isn't doing any work.
How we help
What we build for manufacturing.
A short list of the builds most shops ask us about first. Not a fixed menu, just a starting point.
Custom Operations Apps
Production scheduling, work orders, inventory, all built around your shop's actual workflow. The system fits the shop, not the other way around.
Smart Quoting & Estimates
Catalog plus labor plus materials, quote in minutes. AI assistance on unusual jobs that matches similar past work and flags edge cases.
Service Reports & Field Capture
QC checklists that auto-file and roll up to dashboards. Photo logs, exception tracking, and trend analysis. The data finally goes to work.
Workflow Automations
ERP, accounting, scheduling, production, all talking. The same job stops being typed five times. Reorder triggers fire automatically.
KPI & Analytics Dashboards
Utilization, on-time delivery, scrap rate, margin per job. Owner dashboard, manager dashboard, daily digest. Decisions on data, not gut.
Internal Knowledge Assistant
SOPs, machine manuals, supplier history, and pricing data, all in plain-English Q&A. Mike's institutional knowledge, externalized.
