The Real Problem

Your numbers are all there. You just can't see them.

Job costs in one system. Cash in QuickBooks. Quotes somewhere else. The rest on a whiteboard and a spreadsheet that doesn't scale. The gap isn't data — it's visibility. So you find out a job lost money months after it shipped.

Shop-Wide Operations Hub

We build you a single, custom dashboard showing active job profit metrics, invoicing statuses, and CNC queue health.

Ask Centiments

AI analyst

Ask anything about your shop — in plain English.

Which jobs are losing money?

Two open jobs are below your margin floor right now: • J-10468 (John Deere) — 14% margin, due in 5 days, flagged At Risk. • J-10477 (Brunswick Marine) — 19% margin and already 2 days late. Both are pulling your blended margin down. Worth a hard look before you quote either customer again.

Who builds it

Builders who've run the systems you run.

We come from building real products and the dashboards that run them. We're not resellers — we build it ourselves, wire it to the QuickBooks and shop system you already run, and stand behind it. Hands-on, done for you, built around your shop.

How it works

Three steps. No upfront. Cancel anytime.

We learn your shop

A brief discovery call to see where your operations data lives and map out the highest priority visibility gaps first.

We build it around you

We deliver your free site and then begin wire integrations (QuickBooks + ERP) incrementally as you approve.

You run on it

Sustain operations with a dedicated live dashboard and active notifications. Simple month-to-month terms, cancel anytime.
