Turn acceptance into a works order
Carry the agreed specification, quantities, dates and customer references into the job. Keep the accepted quote available alongside it.

Engineering job management with the right revision attached
Keep the accepted quote, works order, current drawings and completion evidence connected. We build around the way your engineering business releases and records work, so people can find the agreed job without asking the person who remembers it.

Honest boundaryKeep existing systems where they work
Where the time goes
The quote is accepted, but the production pack is assembled again by hand. A revised drawing arrives after release. Inspection evidence is saved in another folder. At dispatch, someone has to prove which version was made and find the records to go with it.
How the system works
The scope follows your existing work. These are the stages we would review together.
02
Control the document set
Attach drawing and specification references to the release. Preserve older versions and ask an authorised person to approve a change.
03
Record the production stages
Show the stages your team uses, the person responsible and any hold. Recorded progress gives the office a shared view of the job.
04
Track bought-out work
Keep supplier requests, expected returns and missing items against the works order. Show what is holding up the next stage.
05
Collect quality evidence
Link inspection records and certificates to the relevant job or batch. Missing documents remain a visible task, not a dispatch-day surprise.
06
Prepare the handover
Assemble the agreed completion pack and confirmed information for accounts. People still approve quality release and any customer concessions.
An example to make it concrete
Illustrative workflow: a machined assembly includes an outside finishing step. A drawing revision arrives while parts are away. The job is held for a named engineer to assess the change, and the recorded decision travels with the works order. The final pack links the applicable drawing, returned work and inspection evidence.
Working with your existing software
We look first at what your ERP, MRP, CAD storage and quality tools already do. A supported connection or a smaller job-record application may be sufficient. We do not promise to replace production planning, CAD or a quality management system as part of a small first build.
AI can help with extracting or finding information where it earns its place. Records, calculations and approval rules use ordinary software where that is the dependable choice.
Starting point and price
Start with one works-order route from quote acceptance to completion pack. Agree the document references, release roles, status changes and supported output. Capacity planning, machine connections and complex batch traceability need separate scoping.
Fixed-scope builds start from £1,495, with the actual deliverables and price agreed in writing. If the workflow needs measuring first, the Operations Audit is £895. Hosting, support, licences and any additional work are set out in the quote. See pricing and what is included.
Is a bespoke system worth it?
A good fit
Useful where job paperwork and revision control sit between otherwise useful systems. It is particularly relevant when every job varies but the handover stages repeat.
When we would suggest something else
If your ERP already supports the workflow, configuration and training may be the right investment. Software also cannot fix an unclear release authority: decide who can approve a change before automating it.
Does this make us compliant with a quality standard?
A system can support the records and approvals you specify. It does not certify your business or replace technical review. We agree the evidence you need with the people responsible for quality.
