CNC & Precision Machine Shops

AI Employees for CNC & Precision Machine Shops.

CNC and precision machine shops run on fast, accurate quotes and reliable customer communication. Your AI Employee handles every RFQ reply, job status update, and document request — so your machinists and estimators stay on the floor, not in their email.

The Problem

What machine shop teams spend time on that they shouldn't.

"I'm the owner, the estimator, and the customer service team. I spend two hours a day on emails that don't require my actual skills."

Owner-Operator CNC Machine Shop · 12 staff

"A customer needed a first-article inspection report and material cert before they'd release their next PO. Found them eventually — after 45 minutes of digging."

Quality Lead Precision Machining · 28 staff

"We lose jobs not because our price is wrong but because someone else replied faster. We're not slow — we're just too busy to be fast."

Shop Manager Contract Machine Shop · 35 staff

"I have accounts I haven't spoken to in six months. Not because the relationship is bad — because nobody has time to reach out."

Sales Rep Precision CNC · 20 staff

Common Questions

Questions from CNC and precision machine shops.

Q1
Rate Card & Setup

Can the AI Employee quote from our real rate card and setup times?

Yes. We configure it against your actual rate structure — hourly rates, setup times by operation, material markup rules. It quotes from your numbers, not generic estimates.

Q2
Job Shop Software

What job shop software does it integrate with?

It connects to most shop management systems — Shoptech E2, JobBOSS, ProShop, MachineMetrics, and custom systems — via API or export. We confirm compatibility during discovery.

Q3
Small Shops

Does it work for small shops without a formal ERP?

Yes. For shops running on spreadsheets or simple job tracking software, we build a lightweight integration. The AI Employee works with what you have, not what you wish you had.

Q4
NDAs & Data Security

How does it handle jobs with NDAs or controlled technical data?

All data is hosted in Canada or the US on your choice. We sign mutual NDAs and DPAs. The AI Employee only accesses the data stores you authorize — it doesn't pull from external sources.
