Custom Shop Floor Software & Integration
Small tools that solve specific problems. Production tracking, job scheduling, system integration — built around how your shop actually operates.
Your shop has workflows that don't fit off-the-shelf software. A quoting calculator matched to how you actually estimate jobs. A setup sheet generator that pulls from your CAM data. A tool crib tracker your operators will use. A production board that replaces the whiteboard everyone ignores.
I also build bridges between systems you already have. Your CAM, ERP, quality records, and machine data shouldn't be separate islands. Automating data flow so your team stops re-keying information is often the highest-value work I do.
