Our First-Ever User Conference
Cutting Edge.
The industry is splitting in two.
We surveyed 144 precision shops this year. We didn’t find a bell curve — we found a fault line. On October 22, in one room, we reveal what the shops pulling ahead figured out.

The shift
The difference isn’t better people.
Every shop has good people. That was never the gap. The gap is whether what those people know stays in the building when they go home.
What Used to Work
The edge lived in people.
The veteran who knew the setup. The estimator who could feel the price. The quality lead who remembered the audit. For decades it worked —right up until that knowledge took a week off,walked out the door,or retired. Then the shop ran on one person’s memory,and the edge left with them.
What Comes Next
The edge lives in the shop.
The shops pulling ahead didn’t hire better people. They changed what their shop’s system remembers. The setup,the decision,the sign-off —captured once and reachable by the whole floor. The knowledge compounds instead of walking out the door. Every job teaches the next one.
On the floor
What you’ll see on October 22.
This is where it gets concrete. We’ll walk a real shop’s workflow — quote to close — live,in one room. It’s the first time we’re showing Chip,the intelligence layer built into ProShop,on real shop data.
Price from what actually happened
Quotes built on your shop’s real history —actual run times,actual costs —instead of last year’s memory.
A plan that survives contact
Scheduling that updates itself as the floor moves,so the plan still means something at 2pm.
A floor that documents itself
Execution,traceability and sign-offs captured as the work happens —an audit trail you don’t have to assemble after the fact.
Every job teaches the next one
See Chip turn a finished job into the knowledge that prices,plans,and runs the next one.
