AI score: 59 / 100 Proceed with caution

Job shop and make-to-order ERP for small manufacturers

Type: growing (ops / MRP)  ·  Tech: legacy  ·  Budget: SMB friendly ($10k–$70k/yr)
Core verticals: job shop / machine shop
General fit: metal fabrication, OEM / industrial
Functions: accounting, purchasing, inventory / WMS, manufacturing / MES, scheduling / planning, reporting / BI

ProMan is a focused ERP for small custom manufacturers and job shops. Covers estimating, work orders, scheduling, purchasing, and basic accounting in a single system. Aimed at shops with under 100 employees that need an integrated alternative to QuickBooks plus spreadsheets.

Purpose-fit for the micro job shop segment but the legacy architecture and limited online presence make pre-sales evaluation difficult, a product you discover through word-of-mouth in the job shop community rather than digital research.
