What we automate · late job alerts for manufacturers

Find the late job before the customer does.

The worst way to learn a job is late is the phone ringing. This agent watches every open order against its promise date and the work still in front of it, flags the ones that are going to slip while there's still time to do something, and drafts the heads-up to the customer for your approval.

What the agent does

Reads the open order book

Promise dates, routing, what's done and what isn't, from the systems you already run. No new data entry.

Flags the slip early

When the remaining work won't fit before the promise date, the job shows up in your morning queue with the reason — not a red cell nobody looked at.

Drafts the customer note

A straight note with the new date and why. You approve it or change it. Customers forgive a late job they heard about on Monday far more easily than one they discovered on Friday.

Keeps the history

Which jobs slipped, why, how often — written down, so the pattern is visible at month end instead of felt.

Proof, not promises

These agents run inside an 80-person precision-machining operation every day; the numbers on our home page come off that system's meter, measured against a baseline the team countersigned.

Figures come off our own agent system's meter, running in production at an 80-person AS9100 precision CNC manufacturer. Results for your business are measured against a baseline your team countersigns — never promised in advance.

How it works for you

1. Audit — two weeks, remote

About three hours of your time. We map where the hours go, dollarize it, and rank what to automate first. You keep the 90-day roadmap whether or not you build. Free for five companies through December 1.

2. First agent — quoted up front

One agent, one fixed quote before we start. If the build comes in under it, you pay the lower number. It runs on a computer you control, in Shadow mode first, so you see every proposal before anything is live.

3. We run it with you

Monthly, per agent, first 90 days included. We watch it, repair it, and improve it; you approve what matters. Walk away any time and everything you own keeps working.

Not cookie-cutter software

Your columns, your views, your words for things. Each agent is built around how your business actually runs — that is the point, not a nicety.

Questions owners ask

We run on spreadsheets, not an ERP. Does that matter?

Not much. If the promise dates and job status exist somewhere readable, the agent can watch them. The audit confirms it before anything is built.

Does it contact the customer by itself?

No. It drafts; a person approves; and it can only address contacts you've approved.

Is this only for machine shops?

It started there. Any business that promises a date and does the work in stages — fabrication, print, repair, installation — has the same problem.
