Running a machine shop means juggling quotes, suppliers, materials, and deadlines — often across spreadsheets, emails, and whiteboards.
Forge brings it all into one place.
QUOTATION
Slow quotes lose jobs. Be the first to respond.
Every hour spent building a quote in a spreadsheet is a job that could go to someone faster. Forge lets you quote in minutes with accurate costs — so you close more work and leave less money on the table.
PURCHASING
Stop chasing emails. Start managing suppliers.
Purchasing in a machine shop means scattered emails, missed follow-ups, and no idea where your order stands. Forge puts RFQs, supplier responses, POs, and receiving in one place — so nothing falls through the cracks.
PRODUCTION
Idle machines cost money. Keep them running.
Every hour a machine sits waiting on a missing part or a scheduling mix-up is revenue lost. Forge gives you a clear picture of your shop floor so you can spot bottlenecks, reduce downtime, and push more parts out the door.
Built different from legacy MRPs.
Traditional systems were designed for IT departments. Forge was designed for the people who actually run the shop.
AI that actually helps
Upload a drawing and watch specs fill in automatically. Create tasks, ask questions about your shop, and let AI handle the busywork.
Designed for speed, not training
Clean, intuitive interface you can learn in a day. No six-month rollout, no consultant fees.
A fraction of the price
Enterprise MRPs charge thousands per month. Forge delivers the same power at a price that works for shops of any size.
