Run Your Shop on Systems, Not Spreadsheets.

Neither do we, and that is the point. We do not build systems that fire a firm price at your customer behind your back. We build an estimator: it reads the RFQ, gives a ballpark in minutes so the buyer knows if they are in the right zip code, and routes anything unusual straight to you with the drawing attached. You still price the job. What changes is that you stop spending your morning on the RFQs that were never going anywhere.

Custom work is exactly where the time goes, so that is where we start. We are not trying to price the weird one automatically. We are trying to sort the weird one from the eighty percent that looks like work you have already done, so your estimator spends the day on the jobs that actually need judgment. The rules for what counts as weird are yours, and you can change them any time.

You do, completely. Machine rate, setup fee, material minimums, order minimum, gross margin, quantity breaks, lead times: every number in the estimate comes from settings you own, and none of it is a black box you have to trust. On the live demos you can open the settings tab and change any of it yourself, then watch the quote reprice in front of you. Your real system works the same way, except the numbers start as yours instead of our demo defaults.

Yes, and this is usually the first thing we set up. You decide whether a customer sees a firm price, a range, a lead time only, or nothing at all until you release it. You decide which lines auto-send and which sit in a queue for you. Plenty of shops run it in silent mode at first, where the system prices everything internally and sends nothing, so you can compare its numbers against your own for a few weeks before you let it talk to anybody.

Wherever you draw the line, and you can move it any time. The usual rules are a complexity ceiling, a dollar ceiling, a quantity ceiling, a machine envelope, a tolerance limit, materials you do not stock, and a minimum confidence for anything read off a document. Any line that trips one of those routes to your estimator with the reason attached, so you know why it stopped rather than just that it did. The demos on this site let you drag those thresholds around and watch jobs move between the automatic lane and the human lane.

Every field the AI pulls off a document carries a confidence score, and anything under your threshold stops and waits for a person instead of flowing into your system. The arithmetic is recomputed in code, not guessed by a model, so line-item math errors get flagged rather than passed along. You can watch this work on the live demos on this site, including one that catches a real math error planted in a sample PO.

That's not what we build. Our systems take over the repetitive work nobody was hired to do, retyping data, chasing follow-ups, drafting the same email for the tenth time, so your people can spend those hours on work that actually needs a human. Most clients use the reclaimed time to grow without hiring, not to cut staff.

Most first systems go live in two to four weeks after the Blueprint. We start with one workflow, get it working in production, then expand. You're never waiting six months for a big-bang launch.

Your data stays in your systems, we connect to them, we don't copy them into ours. Integrations use each platform's official APIs with scoped credentials you can revoke at any time, and nothing you share with us is ever used to train public AI models.

The free audit is the tool on this page: five questions, an instant report, and a 4-day plan you can run yourself. It's automated and directional. The AI Workflow Blueprint is the paid version: a 45-minute working session on your actual process with a human, followed by a written map of what to automate, what to fix before automating, the real ROI math, and the build plan. Free audit finds it. The Blueprint maps it.

A 45-minute working session on your real workflow, followed by a written map: your biggest time drains ranked by impact against effort, what to automate first, what to fix before you automate it, and a 4-day start plan you can run yourself. It's credited back in full against your build if you move forward. If we can't find at least 5 hours a week worth reclaiming, you pay nothing.

Because it's real work, and because it's the part that determines whether AI will help you at all. Free assessments tend to be sales pitches in disguise. Paying for it means you get an honest answer, including when the answer is that your process needs fixing before any AI touches it. Start with a free 30-minute call first, and we'll only suggest the Blueprint if it's the right next step.

Every engagement starts with the AI Workflow Blueprint, which is credited back against your build. From there, a single managed AI system rolls hosting, AI usage and support into one monthly price. Custom automations are quoted fixed after the Blueprint, sized to your workflow and budget, and the number never changes mid-project. We scope the actual numbers with you on the call. Most customers start with one workflow and expand.

Yes. We'll deliver the source code, documentation and deployment so your team owns the system outright, with no vendor lock-in.

Usually, yes. We connect to what you already run rather than replacing it: E2, JobBOSS, Global Shop, Epicor, Fishbowl, QuickBooks, plus Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Where a system has no clean API, we work through exports, email and the file formats your team already moves around. Nobody is ripping out your shop software.

Yes. Our managed plans cover hosting, monitoring, improvements and priority support so your system keeps getting better.

Absolutely. Most customers begin with one workflow and expand over time.
