We connect the systems a small manufacturer already runs, so quotes are built from your own costs, orders flow into the shop without retyping and the numbers on the floor reach the people who need them. The scope is written down and agreed before we start.
Tell us what you needSee example projectsWhat manufacturers tell us before a project starts.
Each one is a working piece you can open and check when it's done.
Material, labor and machine time rules turned into a quoting sheet or small app, with a clean quote ready to send.

Example project
Example: a metal fabrication shop prices jobs from material weight, cut time and setup. The rules move from one person's workbook into a tool the whole sales team can use.
Excel, VBA, PDF outputExample project
Example: a custom parts maker receives POs by email. Each is read, and a draft work order is created for the planner to approve.
Gmail, PDF extraction, ERP importExample project
Example: a small plant exports open orders from its ERP every Friday. A script builds the on-time and backlog report and emails it to the owner.
ERP export, Python, Google Sheets

Excel VBA, custom ribbon XML, Power Query, Outlook automation, QuickBooks Online API
No. Most small manufacturers are better served by connecting the ERP they have to the sheets, forms and reports around it.
We design the floor forms to be large and short, and test them on the kind of device you use.
You do. It is built in your own accounts, and you get plain notes on how it works so your office can change it without us.
Tell us the systems you use and the report or task that eats the most time. We reply with questions or a written scope.
