Hey guys,

I run a small CNC shop and, like most of you, got tired of trying to keep track of jobs, tools, quotes, inventory, etc. using spreadsheets, sticky notes, and whiteboards. Most ERPs I looked into were overkill, overpriced, or just didn’t fit how small shops actually run.

So I ended up building my own ERP system — simple, web-based, and focused on what small shops actually need day to day. Some features:

Job tracking with live statuses

Tool lists and setup sheets per job

Quote and order tracking

Inventory & material tracking

Nonconformance logging (AS9100-style)

Attendance clock-in/out

Customer/vendor management

Simple production dashboard for shop floor view

It’s nothing crazy, but it works and has been super helpful in keeping our small team organized. I figured other small shops might benefit too, so I’m offering a free 90-day trial until June 1, 2025. No ads, no obligations — just trying to help others who are in the same boat.

Just a heads up: it’s just me behind this, and I mainly work on it after hours since my shop is the full-time gig. So if you reach out, please give me a little time to respond — I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Also, if anyone gives it a try and has ideas for new features, I’m very open to suggestions. If it helps your shop, there’s a good chance it’ll help mine and others too.

Happy to answer any questions or give a quick walkthrough — just reply here or message me directly.

Roman, what specific challenges did your CNC shop face in terms of workflow or customer demands that inspired you to prioritize certain features, like live job tracking or AS9100-compliant nonconformance logging, in your ERP system?
