ProShop ERP
Web based ERP, MES and quality system written inside a working CNC machine shop
As of 31 August 2026, ProShop ERP's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. ProShop was built by a machine shop that needed AS9100 paperwork to stop consuming its staff, and quality management is in the core rather than sold as a module. Softwr lists it under Manufacturing. ProShop ERP is made by Adion Systems Inc., available on Web, Windows.
Overview
What ProShop ERP does
ProShop ERP is a browser based enterprise system for precision machining and fabrication shops, published by Adion Systems and developed out of Pro CNC, a contract machine shop in Washington state. It combines ERP functions such as quoting, purchasing, scheduling and job costing with manufacturing execution features including digital travellers, tool and gauge control, and shop floor time capture, and with a quality management system aligned to ISO 9001 and AS9100. The distinguishing point is that the quality system is not an add on. In most shop ERP products, document control, non conformance handling, corrective actions, calibration records and audit evidence are either extra modules or a separate application, and the shop maintains a parallel paper trail to satisfy its auditor. ProShop keeps that evidence attached to the job, the part and the operation as work happens, which is why aerospace and medical suppliers pursuing AS9100 or ISO 13485 registration are its strongest segment. The commercial consequence is measurable: shops report audit preparation shrinking from weeks of assembly to producing records on demand, and that saving, not scheduling, is what usually justifies the purchase. Buyers are machine shops from roughly ten to two hundred employees running high mix low volume work under a quality registration. The trade offs are real. It is opinionated software that expects the shop to adopt its way of working, it demands disciplined data entry at every operation, and it is not a machine monitoring product, so it collects what operators enter at kiosks rather than reading signals off controllers.
What people use it for
- A machine shop pursuing or holding AS9100 registration that currently maintains quality records separately from its ERP
- A high mix low volume shop where every job has different routings and paper travellers keep going missing
- A contract manufacturer needing material certification and lot traceability from receipt through to shipped part
- A shop with 1990s machines that wants shop floor data capture through operator kiosks because the controllers cannot be read

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about ProShop ERP.
- It runs on a Microsoft stack with Internet Information Services and SQL Server, so a shop choosing on premises deployment needs a Windows server and someone to maintain it, which is not what buyers expect when they hear browser based.
- The software is opinionated and expects the shop to adopt its processes, so a shop determined to keep its existing habits gets a poor result and blames the tool.
- Everything depends on operators entering time and status at each operation, and a shop that cannot enforce that discipline ends up with costing and scheduling data that nobody trusts.
- It is not a machine monitoring product and does not read controllers, so spindle utilisation and automatic cycle counting require a separate product such as a monitoring platform.
- The partner ecosystem is very small, so implementation, training and any customisation come from the vendor, and there is no market of independent consultants to fall back on or to price against.

Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Is it cloud software?
It is browser based and can be vendor hosted, but many customers run it on their own Windows server, which carries the usual infrastructure obligations.
Does it replace my accounting system?
No. It handles costing and purchasing and integrates with QuickBooks or similar for the general ledger.
Will it work with old CNC machines?
Yes, because it takes operator input at kiosks rather than reading machine controllers. That is a strength for shops with older equipment.
Is it suitable for process or batch manufacturing?
No. It is built for discrete machining and fabrication with routings and travellers.
