Partnership delivers the “holy grail” of job costing by automating true machine costs for each job run with clear targets for margin improvement.
[Bellingham, Washington – September 9, 2022] – ProShop ERP, the leading supplier of digital manufacturing management systems and Datanomix, the leader in Automated Production Intelligence™, announced a partnership to help manufacturers deliver more insights from their operational data. The first of many new features delivers automated job costing analytics that compare ProShop target takt times for part production to actual part performance at the machine. The ProShop Datanomix partnership offers complete clarity on gross margin performance on a per part basis. The calculated data is relative to machining operations, highlighting the greatest opportunities to improve margins.
“Partnering with vendors like Datanomix is a larger data integration strategy for ProShop,” stated Paul Van Metre, co-founder of ProShop. “We continue to deliver on our vision of being the central platform for all the enterprise, manufacturing data, quality management and manufacturing execution data to our clients. The data and reporting we provide to clients are made more precise with the actual machine data from Datanomix. Our partnership with Datanomix brings two leading vendors together who share values relative to the manufacturing experience. And this is just the beginning of the possibilities we’ll deliver to our clients soon.”
What does the ProShop Datanomix Integration Provide?
A ProShop ERP integration is now available inside the Datanomix platform. Datanomix matches part numbers in the machine code to ProShop and extracts target takt times. These targets are integrated into the Datanomix Quote Calibration Report. They quickly identify opportunities for margin improvement, comparing ProShop target takt times to Datanomix actuals and benchmarks.
Pre-packaged filters in the report show exactly which jobs to work on. The platform highlights:

That Gross Margin data combines all other job costing data within ProShop. This includes direct labor, all procurement costs, direct machine overhead, and indirect overhead costs, creating a complete profitability picture.
“ProShop ERP is built to store and manage the data that’s vital to running a factory, helping manufacturers make better decisions for both their front office and their shop floor,” said Van Metre. “What’s important to our customers is what’s important to ProShop. Our partnership with Datanomix helps customers tie true machining costs back into existing job costing and profitability workflows. We refine machine utilization, augmenting current labor, out-of-pocket costs, and overhead costs. This gives our shared customers a massive advantage to improve job margins and remove the guesswork from this process.”
“Knowing how much it really costs to produce parts is the holy grail for precision manufacturers when it comes to job costing and quoting,” said Greg McHale, Chief Technology Officer, and co-founder of Datanomix. “With Datanomix, manufacturers get operations data directly from CNC machines. It offers an incorruptible window into actual job performance derived while running parts because there is no operator input required. Our partnership with ProShop creates a secret weapon for job margin improvement and, ultimately, EBITDA improvement. And it’s just the beginning of our plans to accelerate and automate insights for manufacturers.”
Client Response to the Partnership
Hill Manufacturing in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, is one of many shared customers excited about the ProShop Datanomix partnership. According to Mike Payne, president of Hill Manufacturing, “We’ve been a ProShop ERP customer for a while, and our ProShop rep suggested Datanomix. We loved the real-time operations data with no operator input, and the integration between the two companies. I can see right in Datanomix if I’m running profitable jobs, and I have the feedback in ProShop when I go to quote the same job again or I’m working on a similar part. This puts me in the driver’s seat in controlling my job performance and profitability.”
