01 · What shop owners keep telling us

You already know this problem. So do a lot of other shops.

Real quotes, paraphrased from Practical Machinist and Reddit shop-owner discussions.

There isn't a place to look at what's late or coming up. I have to walk the floor and ask.

I forgot setup time on the second op, and the heat-treat lead time entirely. Same Excel sheet since 2019.

Three things ShopTrace does that Excel can’t

No modules you’ll never use. No consultants. Set up in an afternoon.

01 — DELIVERY RISK

See what's going to be late before it's late.

ShopTrace watches every job against machine load and flags delivery risk days in advance — and tells you exactly what a new rush job will do to your other promises before you say yes.

02 — AI JOB INTAKE

Forward the RFQ, skip the data entry.

Email or upload a drawing and ShopTrace drafts the job, routing, and due date automatically. You confirm it — you don't type it in from scratch.

03 — FLOOR-READY LOGGING

One tap from a phone, not a timesheet.

Operators log progress by tapping a job and speaking a status update. No terminals, no training, no logins to remember.

03 · How it works

Live in an afternoon, not a quarter

  1. 01

    Import what you already have

    Bring your Excel sheet, Access database, or job list — ShopTrace maps it in, no re-entry.

  2. 02

    Add your machines and people

    Tell it what runs what. Describe your workflow in plain English — no configuration screens.

  3. 03

    Open the board every morning

    See what's on track, what's at risk, and what a new job would cost you before you commit to it.

04 · Simple pricing
