The ProShop ERP digital ecosystem is a combination ERP/MES/QMS solution developed to address the needs of job shops by people with first-hand knowledge of the shop environment. This paperless digital operating platform (DOP) is said to integrate every job shop department — from those estimating projects to shipping. Engineered for small- to medium-sized manufacturing companies, ProShop is said to replace up to five software programs, simplifying project management from start to finish.

Customized ERP modules help get jobs off to a cohesive start, the company says. The integrated MES system picks things up by tracking time, tooling, fixtures, work cells, personnel, part programming information and more in real-time. The QMS function features numerous modules grabbing data from the ERP/MES systems, which then create reports reflecting preventive and corrective actions, and generate audits, capturing every aspect of the manufacturing process for complete quality reporting. ProShop’s 25-plus dashboards provide shops with an overall view of the entire operation, identifying waste and ineffective procedures in one digital ecosystem.

According to the company, customers report setup reductions of up to 50% and total labor savings of 25% or more. This means leaner production with the same number of employees, enabling companies to expand capabilities and grow shops without incurring extra costs and losing profits.
