What ProShop ERP is

One web-based system carrying ERP, manufacturing execution (MES), and quality management for precision machine shops; the vendor calls the combination a Digital Manufacturing Ecosystem. The design order matters. Rather than hanging a shop-floor module off an accounting core, the product grew around the working day of a CNC job shop, from estimating and routing through scheduling, execution, and the quality documentation regulated customers demand. The stated destination is a paperless shop where work instructions, inspection records, and certifications live beside orders and inventory.

Company and product background

ProShop spent roughly 17 years as in-house software at Pro CNC Inc., a machine job shop in the Pacific Northwest. When the owners sold the shop in 2014, the software became the business. Development still sits with Adion Systems in Vancouver, British Columbia, while ProShop USA Inc. in Bellingham, Washington runs the US operation.

Outside capital followed. In July 2023 the company took a $32 million growth investment from Mainsail Partners, a growth equity firm focused on bootstrapped software companies; ProShop remains privately held and has not been acquired. Alison Hawkins took over as CEO in June 2025, and in June 2026 the vendor introduced Chip, an AI assistant aimed at precision manufacturers.

Functional scope

  • Estimating and quoting with cost models for machining work
  • Work orders, scheduling, and capacity planning
  • Purchasing and inventory with lot and serial traceability
  • Shop-floor execution: digital work instructions, time tracking, job and machine status
  • An integrated QMS covering document control, training records, and tooling and gauge management, built to support AS9100, ISO 9001, and ISO 13485 audit requirements

Financial accounting is not part of the package. Customer invoices and vendor purchase orders are pushed to an external accounting system, most commonly QuickBooks.

Fit, deployment, and cost

The buyers are small and midsize CNC machine shops and precision manufacturers, with a clear center of gravity in the US aerospace and defense supply chain, medical device machining, and space-sector work. The product's origins in an aerospace-oriented shop show in the depth of its compliance documentation; process manufacturers, distributors, and assembly-centric plants are not the audience. Delivery is fully web-based, in the vendor-hosted cloud or on a customer server on-premises. Pricing is not published, and quotes are built per shop from user count and scope. Implementation and data migration belong in that arithmetic, which our ERP TCO calculator makes easier to lay out.

Our take

MES depth plus an audit-ready QMS in a single system is the whole argument, and for an AS9100 shop still running quality out of separate software and paper binders it is a strong one, provided keeping the books in QuickBooks is acceptable. Shops that want one system for the entire business, accounting included, should skip it; the boundary is a design decision, not a gap awaiting a release. Comparisons against Fulcrum or Cetec ERP belong in a structured selection process that weighs QMS depth against overall breadth.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of shop is ProShop ERP built for?

CNC job shops and precision manufacturers in the small and midsize range, particularly those feeding the US aerospace and defense supply chain, medical device machining, and space work. Its 17-year gestation inside a working Pacific Northwest machine shop explains the fit; it also explains why process manufacturers, distributors, and assembly-heavy plants are outside the target.

Does ProShop include financial accounting?

No, and that is a deliberate design choice rather than a missing feature. Invoices and purchase orders flow to an external package, most commonly QuickBooks, while the product concentrates its depth on MES and quality management. Price the accounting integration into the project from day one.

How does ProShop support AS9100 and ISO compliance?

Quality management is native, not bolted on: document control, training records, and tooling and gauge management sit in the same web-based system as work orders and inventory, with lot and serial traceability through purchasing. For shops audited against AS9100, ISO 9001, or ISO 13485, replacing paper binders and standalone quality software with one audit-ready environment is the core purchase motive.

What are the deployment and pricing options?

Fully web-based either way, hosted by the vendor or installed on a shop's own server. No prices are published as of August 2026; each quote is built from user count and scope. Add implementation and data migration before comparing offers, and use the ERP TCO calculator to keep vendor quotes on one common denominator.

Who owns ProShop, and where is the company headed?

Still privately held, never acquired. Mainsail Partners put $32 million of growth capital in during July 2023, Alison Hawkins stepped in as CEO in June 2025, and June 2026 brought Chip, an AI assistant for precision manufacturers. Taken together the signals describe a company scaling up; for a buyer that cuts both ways and simply belongs on the watch list of a long-term commitment.
