Thank you so much for your review. It's feedback like this that makes our work meaningful and excited to go to work every day.
We'll share this with our whole team and toast you at our next virtual happy hour! Cheers and thank you again! The ProShop Team. Overall experience has been positive. I would highly recommend this software to any company small or large who want an easy to use software the will make them more efficient and better. The software is very user friendly for people at all levels of the organization. The single software manages all aspects of our manufacturing company beginning with estimating and ending with invoicing.
It is completely paperless and eliminates many unneeded man hours for tasks like data entry or collecting out of rev prints from the shop floor. It also manages our entire QMS to ensure compliance with AS and incorporates the requirements of the QMS into standard workflows for all employees.
This makes audits very easy to prepare for. It also integrates easily with Quickbooks for ease of accounting functions. Finally, the cloud based approach makes the IT aspects so simple and worry free, plus I can easily access the software when I'm away from the shop!
So many additional positives to list, I could go on and on I really don't have any cons to list. If I had to list one thing for improvement it would be to have just a little more flexibility of category fields in the estimating module so I could adopt costing for the composites industry easier. That being said, my implementation specialist was able to help me come up with some work arounds to accomplish what I need.
Hi Jeff, You've made our day over here in the office! Thank you for this great review. Helping companies like yours is exactly why we're so excited to come to work every day. It's our mission and our passion to lift up manufacturers like Fort Ord Works - the backbone of our economy. You'll be excited about some new features we're coming out with this year specifically for composites companies. Stay tuned. And we'd love to get your feedback on them and how to make them better.
Cheers and thanks again! It is pretty easy to learn. Not much of a learning curve with this. Saves you a lot of time in the end as well by eliminating paper trails. The interface is a little too much, needs to be a bit cleaner. Sometimes it can be hard to find what you are looking for, but that is just part of the learning curve. We switched from another ERP software that was really complicated and misleading.
It would take me 30 plus minutes to process an order and enter it for the production team to see, but with ProShop it takes me minutes to have everything relating to the order entered and sent to the production guys. Everything about this software was easy to understand and quick to follow. ProShop Lean Setup Process When a machinist starts to setup a machine, they should never have to leave the machine before they have a good part. In Association With: These shops have improved their operations with ProShop, watch their videos below!
We very easily and intuitively help you manage the manufacturing process. The results? That means you can make more money with the same machines and people. Scheduling Get the real-time information you need to make decisions on the fly to keep your jobs on schedule. Scheduling is updated automatically by the factory activity and always shows the latest status. If you need to print a one-off mailing or shipping label or have a list of them.
This software makes it super easy. No trying to figure out margins, and gutters and whatever just to print a couple labels. Need to create custom printed labels, name tags, or stickers quickly and easily? To get started, just create an Avery. You can see all outstanding POs, late orders, and time sensitive orders. Purchase orders are typically initiated using a shopping cart system which collates all the purchasing requirements of active work orders and then are assigned to a vendor for ordering.
Upon receipt, all certs for purchased items are scanned and attached to each line item, setting the stage for easy retrieval of certs as described in the WO module. See at a glance how much inventory you have in your company, the value and where it is located.
See every movement in and out of inventory for full traceability. From any part number or assembly, you can see exactly which Work Order it was created on. You can also look back in history for any job that was shipped from inventory and see a full traceable history of where every component came from. All inventory includes a full cost accounting of how much the original cost was, and what the discounted value currently is.
It serves the dual function of managing and tracking all maintenance for any equipment as well as calibration requirements for precision instruments. Responsible parties can be assigned to any equipment or specific maintenance item. For example, members of your maintenance staff can be assigned as responsible for machine tool oil and filter changes, while quality department staff may be assigned to machine calibration.
Responsible parties will be proactively alerted when their respective assignments are nearing their due dates. Complete work instructions including videos, photos and more can be created for any action item. A complete history of all equipment actions is always available for reporting or audits with linked certs back to NIST.
Any important attribute can be recorded, searched, etc. In addition to seeing a complete inventory of all tools in the tool crib, users can also see any tool that is currently in use in a Workcell machine tool or tool caddy and what is forecast to be needed from any current Work Orders.
A full cost and purchasing history is available for all tools showing vendor, cost, lead time, which Work Order they were purchased for. Active tooling requirements as well as triggers for minimum inventory values are managed in the Purchasing module using the shopping cart system. For shops using Mastercam, tool information can also be exported into Mastercam individually or for an entire job.
Tool lists can then be used to set-up a caddy or CNC machine offline and will accept tool length and diameter data directly from your presetter and then will generate the appropriate offset file to upload into your machine. Please read about one customer who shared the impact the Tooling module has had for their company here. Storage locations as well as all applicable Parts and active Work Orders which use the fixture is just a click away.
By using the Equipment module alongside the Fixture module, complete maintenance of fixtures can be managed with scheduled maintenance and replacement schedules, ensuring your fixtures are always ready. It is where all non-custom items such as fasteners, fluids, materials, consumables and hardware are handled.
The COTS module is tied into WO and Purchasing modules and tracks all incoming orders and outgoing usage of items including economic batch size, safety stock, costs, inventory quantity and value. Full traceability for all COTS items is handled without any extra work by purchasing or manufacturing staff, allowing for certifications to automatically flow into document packages when jobs are shipped. This module is specifically for companies who perform machining and manages a combination of tool holder, collet, cutting tool, inserts, and out-of-holder length.
By standardizing and managing common tool assembly configurations, shops can get the most consistent performance from their tools and machines.
Integration with our Workcells module will alert users if an RTA is measured to be out of tolerance on offline presetters. Any machine tool, workbench, equipment, or even person can be assigned as a workcell.
Once assigned as a workcell, the number and timing of available hours per day can be managed using the schedule to allow unlimited work shift schedules. Workcells can also be categorized by department, class, assigned standard lead times, and provide alerts when jobs are queued. Workcells can also be tied in with our Training module with specific training records for equipment operation. For companies involved in machining, the Workcell module fully supports tool height offset management and direct communication to CNC machine controllers so human entry errors are eliminated during the process of offline tool presetting through uploading offset files into the machine controls.
The User page gives HR and management a place to record important information about employees including employment information, benefit summary, contact information and more. Approved managers can also find direct links to all time tracking and clock punches, effectiveness, training records, positions held, quality performance such as NCRs, CARs, PARs and more. Employees can also see where in the Org Chart they belong and what training they are in need of. Access levels to ProShop modules, fields and information is tightly controlled for all users so very finite control is available to allow employees just the right amount of access to data.
A very fast interface allows any user to clock in or out from any device quickly using a password. Employees and managers can very easily see current and historic clock punches for any time frame.
A system for missed punches allows managers to review and approve when an employee forgets to punch at the correct time. Managers are also alerted to any anomalies. All time clock data can be easily exported into accounting packages such as QuickBooks, Sage, or 3rd party processors for payroll.
The Time Tracking module was designed to take just a few seconds to interface with and allows employees to record which Work Orders they are working on if any , what type of work they are doing such as set-up, running, programming, troubleshooting, how many parts have been made and more.
Multiple time tracking entries can be simultaneously made to allow flexibility for users to run more than one piece of equipment or Work Order at a time.
