Our mission is to help manufacturing companies improve their businesses and their communities
Built by Manufacturers, Designed to Solve Manufacturing’s Toughest Challenges
Decades spent on the floor of CNC shops taught us what it takes to run a manufacturing business — and how hard it is to do it well. We’ve lived the pain of inefficiencies, disconnected systems, and the constant pressure to deliver more with less. That’s why we built ProShop: to give manufacturers a better way to manage every detail of their shop — sustainably, intelligently, and without compromise.

Our story
From CNC Shop to Industry-Leading Platform
ProShop started where you are—on the shop floor. In 1997, we launched Pro CNC, a small machine shop aiming to deliver high-precision parts and exceptional service. But as we grew, our tools held us back. Disconnected systems, endless paperwork, and clunky ERPs were slowing us down.
So we built our own system. It was fully digital, paperless, and designed for how real shops actually run. We called it ProShop. It helped us triple revenue and scale faster—with zero extra headcount.
By 2014, other shops were asking for our software. We sold our machine shop and went all in on helping manufacturers thrive. Today, ProShop powers 500+ shops across North America—transforming the way they work, deliver, and grow.
