ShopJig

ShopJig for machine and job shops

Job shops need to know what a part takes to make and whether the quote was right. ShopJig tracks every operation on the floor against the routing, then carries the real cost through to the invoice and the books.

What eats the day, and what ShopJig does about it

Quotes that were wrong and nobody knew

Actual vs standard cost on every fab order shows where the time and material really went.

Paper travelers that go missing

Printable travelers with QR codes tie the paper on the cart to the order in the system.

Time nobody can attribute

Operation timing inside each person's day clock, so labor lands on the right order.

Material bought twice

Stock by location, reorder points and purchase orders from one costed ledger.

In practice

An order through a job shop on ShopJig

A repeat customer orders a batch of brackets. The part already has a BOM and a routing, so the work order comes straight from them, with material coming out of stock. Anything short goes on a purchase order.

A traveler prints with a QR code for each operation. On the floor, the operator scans it and starts the operation; their time lands on the order inside their day clock. When the batch ships, the order shows actual vs standard cost, the invoice goes out with a pay link, and the margin is there in the reports, from real numbers.
