Job Shop Software
Job shop management software for machine shops. Quoting, scheduling, job tracking, and shop floor control in one job shop ERP built for high-mix low-volume.
Sound Familiar?
Quotes Built on Gut Feel
Every custom job is a one-off with no part master to lean on. Shops lose margin when estimates skip actual labor rates, material costs, and routing time. The damage stays hidden until the job closes.
One Slip Collapses the Schedule
A late delivery or machine breakdown cascades across every downstream job. Spreadsheet schedules can't reprioritize in real time, so owners reshuffle work orders manually while customers wait.
Shop Floor Is a Black Box
Supervisors walk the floor to get status because WIP, utilization, and scrap rates live in disconnected spreadsheets. Bottlenecks go undetected until a job is already late.
Generic ERP Fights the Job Shop Model
Standard ERP is built around part masters and repeat runs. Custom routings, variable BOMs, and one-time orders get forced into that mold, which means expensive customization and constant workarounds.
How WorkCell Fits
Job-Based Quoting Tied to Costing
WorkCell's job shop software builds estimates from actual shop rates, material costs, and routing steps. Quotes share the same structure the job runs on, so quoted vs. actual lands side by side at close and every next quote is sharper.
Finite Scheduling That Adjusts in Real Time
The scheduler accounts for machine capacity, operator skills, and live queue depth. When a job slips, WorkCell re-sequences downstream work automatically, so there is no manual reshuffling and no missed promise dates.
Live Shop Floor Visibility
Operators clock into jobs from the floor and supervisors see active work orders, machine utilization, and WIP status on one dashboard. Bottlenecks surface before they become late shipments.
Built Make-to-Order from Day One
WorkCell's job shop management software runs on jobs instead of part masters. Custom routings, one-off BOMs, outside operations, and variable lead times are first-class concepts in the data model, with no bolt-on workarounds required.
