Machining

CNC machine shop software that runs the whole shop

For machine shops between 10 and 150 people that have outgrown the whiteboard and the scheduling spreadsheet. Know exactly where every job is, see the ones about to go late before the customer does, and give everyone the same picture — without an implementation project or a setup fee.

The demo opens a read-only manufacturer workspace with your email — no password, no card.

Know exactly where every job is

One live view of the work in the shop, by value stream and by cell. Status is set by the people doing the work, so the board reflects the floor rather than last week's meeting.

  • Daily boards covering safety, quality, delivery, cost and people
  • Hour-by-hour plan versus actual with a reason code when there is a gap
  • Kiosk Floor View for line-side tablets and shop TVs
  • Escalations that carry an owner and a due date, not just a complaint

Schedule production in minutes, not hours

A rolling 0 to 12 week schedule with capacity by work centre and material readiness, so you can see the collision before it happens instead of reshuffling a spreadsheet every Monday morning.

  • Capacity by work centre across a rolling horizon
  • Material and kitting readiness flagged against each job
  • Load levelling so a hot job does not silently sink three others

Stop the same problem coming back

Late deliveries and scrap usually have four or five repeat causes. Loss codes and red-day reasons build the Pareto for you, and the structured problem-solving tools turn the top ones into a fix with an owner.

  • Loss Pareto by machine, cell, shift or period
  • 3C escalations, A3 and 8D for the problems that deserve them
  • Improvement benefit tracked in dollars, not in good intentions

One monthly subscription, no implementation project

Sign up and have your first board live the same day. There is no setup or implementation fee, no consultants to schedule, and no migration required to start. Turn on the rest of the system only when you want it.

  • Free sandbox with a full worked example to click through
  • Published pricing — no quote process
  • Modules on and off as the shop changes

Frequently asked questions

What does machine shop software need to do?

It needs to answer the three questions a shop owner asks every day: where is every job, what is stopping the ones that are late, and will we ship this week. Anything that does not make those three answers faster is overhead.

Will this replace our machine monitoring or CAM software?

No. DO.Impact is the management layer around them. It captures how the day actually went, why output fell short, and what is being done about it — then rolls that up into scheduling, KPIs and leadership reviews.

We only have 25 people. Is this too much system?

Modules switch on and off individually. Plenty of shops start with a single daily board and hour-by-hour tracking, and never turn on anything else until they want it.

How do machinists use it without feeling watched?

Floor View is a kiosk screen built around barrier removal rather than surveillance. Operators log what blocked them, escalate in two taps, and see how many of their barriers have been cleared.
