Every shop has one person
who knows everything.
Now the system does too.
ProShop is the AI that learns your machine shop. Built to capture your shop’s institutional knowledge, enforce compliance on the floor, and keep your best people’s expertise in the system.

“The longer it runs, the more you can grow”
— David Bamforth, Rennscot MFG
Every ERP Stores What Your Shop Did. None Learn From It.
Most ERPs do a fine job of storing what your shop did. The problem is what happens with that data afterward. For most shops, it sits in reports nobody reads, or gets pulled out when there’s a fire. None of it makes the next job easier, and none of it makes the next quote better.
Imagine the changes when the system you already trust starts learning from every job it runs.
That’s the shop we built ProShop to run.
Meet Chip.
Chip is the AI that learns how your shop runs, and it puts that knowledge to work for everyone on your team. Chip remembers what every job actually costs, surfaces what your team needs before they go looking, and flags problems before they hit the floor. Your shop gets smarter the longer it runs with Chip.
Intelligent shops grow more efficient, productive, and profitable by learning from past jobs. Chip ensures that every job teaches the next one to be better.
Chip puts the right knowledge in front of the right people at the right time.
Your data stays yours. Chip never shares your shop’s knowledge outside your environment.
Chip maintains a continuous audit trail of every access, every sign-off, and every logged change.
It captures your best people’s expertise and keeps it in the system so you’re always in control.
ProShop Learns Your Shop Like Any Experienced Employee, Putting Knowledge to Use Everywhere.
Every other ERP is a system of record, but ProShop is a system of execution. It enforces your workflows, compliance requirements, and rules so your people are always in control and the right thing always happens next.
Every person on the floor knows what to do
53% of owner/operators say running the shop has gotten harder, even if your best people know the shortcuts, the gotchas, and the things that aren’t in the traveler. Chip captures all of that tribal knowledge and guides every operator through the right path, every time.
What Changes: When your newest operator walks up to that machine, they get setup notes from the best run of that job. They’re not chasing down veterans or scrambling through binders because the system carries everything they need.
Tomorrow morning, when your inspector is out and someone steps in to cover, they don’t need to call anyone. Chip walks you through every AS9100 step, with every note your inspector would give in person.
Thirty years of expertise
that never retires
52% of shops would degrade within a single week without their key leader. Chip consolidates setup notes, routing decisions, and institutional knowledge as living, searchable data. It ensures that critical tribal knowledge isn’t only one-person deep.
What Changes: When your best estimator retires in the spring, the next person quotes their first job and nails it. They have every routing decision, cost note, and lesson learned from the last ten runs of that part already in the system waiting for them.
Tomorrow, when a new worker quotes a defense contract that hasn’t run in two years, the estimate is correct because Chip remembers your actual cost history.
Problems surface on Monday,
not Thursday
27% of shops declined a high-value bid because their compliance systems weren’t capable of supporting it. With Chip, audit-prep isn’t a stressful event anymore because the evidence is already there.
What Changes: When a high-value defense bid lands in your inbox, you’re not scrambling to determine if your compliance posture can survive the scrutiny that comes with it. With the evidence already in the system, the answer stops being a gamble, so you can stop passing on those bids and start winning them.
Tomorrow, a bid comes in from a prime you’ve been trying to work with for two years. A year ago you would have passed, but this time, your quality manager pulls up the records in two clicks and says yes before the deadline.
Built For The Shops Where Documentation Is As Critical As The Part.
Aerospace
AS9100 compliance that accumulates as you work. Every dimension, callout, and approval is captured. Chip makes sure the next quality manager walks in armed with knowledge to succeed.
Defense
ITAR-compliant workflows with system-enforced access controls. For shops pursuing CMMC Level 2, ProShop has a dedicated path built to get you audit-ready.
Medical
FDA-grade traceability built into every operation. Your team focuses on making perfect parts while the system builds the documentation trail your people used to build by hand.
Space
Zero-defect processes backed by a system that learns from every job. When the tolerance is measured in microns, ProShop ensures the margin for documented human error is zero.
What It Looks Like When
The System Carries The Load.
We have a machinist retiring soon whose son works here. He realized he could record videos of his setups, put them in ProShop, and his son would have that knowledge forever. They didn’t fight it; they loved it.
ProShop gave us the framework to be ready to support those aerospace customers. It allowed us to really easily have great traceability on our work orders
Both auditors said, ‘I don’t know why any machine shop doesn’t use this.’ Half an hour in, they said ‘this won’t even take a day.’
Run The Shop. Let The System Carry The Knowledge.
ProShop makes everyone as capable as your seasoned experts.
