Core verticals: job shop / machine shop, metal fabrication

Modern cloud-based MRP and shop floor management for small job shops. Covers quoting, work orders, scheduling, and time tracking without requiring a full ERP investment. Designed for shops graduating from spreadsheets.
Genuinely modern cloud architecture targeted at the under-served small job shop segment, solid quoting-to-floor execution, transparent enough pricing for the tier, but limited accounting depth means it typically sits alongside QuickBooks rather than replacing it.
