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.
Stop retyping specs — Upload a drawing and Forge AI reads the PDF — part details, materials, and dimensions filled in automatically
No more guessing on price — Operations, materials, markup, and tax calculated in real time — every dollar accounted for
Four ways to source materials — Inventory, saw-cut, standard stock, or custom — pick the right mode and Forge handles the cost
Send it before they call someone else — Generate a professional quote and email it to the client in one click
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.
No more copy-paste RFQs — Send requests to multiple suppliers at once — straight from your purchase requirements
Suppliers help themselves — They respond through a portal, no login needed — you stop playing middleman
Compare without spreadsheets — See every response side-by-side, pick the best price, and generate the PO in one click
Know where every order stands — Track from draft to delivered, record what arrived, and flag what’s late — before it’s a problem
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.
See everything at once — Every work order on a visual board, organized by machine — no more walking the floor to check status
Reschedule in seconds — Drag and drop to rebalance the load when priorities shift — keep machines cutting, not waiting
Catch problems early — Filter by due date, priority, or status to find what’s behind before it holds up the next job
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.
