Six reasons to use integrated shop management software

What if you could speed your contract and part manufacturing processes, from RFQ to part delivery? Zel X™ is machine shop management software that makes it easier to handle quotes, manage jobs, work orders, make parts and collaborate with teams of all sizes.

Every shop has essentially the same process for doing a job. You get an RFQ, cost it and quote it. Then you document job requirements, get a part program and send it all to the shop. The problem is when all the job information is in different places. Did the customer send a computer-aided design (CAD) file or just a drawing? Where is it? What machine(s) do I work on first? The customer just sent changes; where are we on the job? Does the shop have the most recent work instructions? When is it going to ship?

If this feels like your shop, you’re not alone. Every job shop experiences this kind of chaos. The difference is how quickly a shop can respond without making mistakes and still ship quality parts on time.
