MACHINE SHOPS
The shop floor is precise. The front office should match.
Job shops quote custom work all day and then run the business on tools less precise than the loosest tolerance on the floor. We build shops quoting, scheduling, and traceability systems that match the standard the parts are held to.
The way it works now
Quotes take days because routing, material, and machine time get estimated by the one person who can. The schedule is a whiteboard argument between hot jobs. Travelers are paper, and when an aerospace or defense customer asks for material certs and process traceability on a part shipped eleven months ago, it is an archaeology project.
What custom looks like
Quoting built on your routings and rates: material, setups, cycle time, finishing, and outside processes priced consistently, with margin visible before you hit send.
Finite-capacity scheduling that knows your machines, your operators' certifications, and which jobs actually promise-dated, surfacing conflicts before they become expedites.
Digital travelers with full lot and material traceability: heat numbers, certs, inspection records attached to the job and retrievable in seconds.
Where agents fit
RFQ triage: incoming prints and specs get pre-processed (material, tolerances, quantities extracted) so your estimator starts at step three.
Cert-package assembly for shipment, automatically, complete.
Customer status updates that answer "where is my order" before the email arrives.
Compliance
For shops in the defense supply chain, we build with ITAR data handling and CMMC-aligned practices in mind from the architecture step. This is our native environment, not a feature we bolted on.
