Proshop ERP : Workshop Management Software for Machine Shops

ProShop ERP is a cloud-based and on-premise workshop management system designed specifically for CNC machine shops, fabrication shops, contract manufacturers, and other discrete manufacturing businesses. Unlike generic ERP platforms, ProShop was developed by machinists and engineers to address the unique needs of precision manufacturing environments. It combines ERP, MES (Manufacturing Execution System), and QMS (Quality Management System) in a single platform, offering tight integration between production, compliance, scheduling, inventory, and customer requirements.

Key benefits of ProShop include real-time visibility into shop floor activities, embedded quality management, and granular traceability of parts, processes, and certifications—making it especially valuable for highly regulated industries like aerospace, medical devices, and defense.
