Custom software for machine and fab shops
Whether you're running on spreadsheets or fighting an ERP that does everything except the one thing you need, we build the missing piece — the quoting tool that matches how you estimate, the job-status board your crew will actually check. We learn your shop first. Fixed price, you own the code.
Where shops actually get stuck
Some machine shops have quoting dialed in. Others lose a morning to it because the material cost, the price sheet, and last year's numbers live in different places, and a quote that's off by six minutes a part quietly eats the margin across a run of fifty. For fab shops doing food-grade or dairy work, it's often traceability and certs: proving the material and the welds on stainless that has to pass an audit. For others it's job status, knowing where a job actually is on the floor without walking out to check.
We don't assume which one is yours. We start by asking how a job goes from quote to cut to invoice, and where the number or the schedule gets fuzzy.
What we could build
If quoting's the soft spot, we'd build the tool that pulls current material and stock prices, applies your margins, factors setup and run time, and keeps the history so you can see what a job actually returned, not what you hoped. If it's traceability, we'd build the tracker that ties heat numbers, certs, and inspection records to the job so an audit is a search, not a scramble. If it's job status, we'd put the floor on one board everyone reads the same way. Whatever the real snag is, that's what we build.
Let's figure out what's worth building.
Walk us through how a job goes from quote to invoice, and where it snags. We'll find the piece worth building first.
