Custom Software for Manufacturers & Job Shops
Quoting tools, production scheduling, traceability and dealer or supplier portals for small and mid-size manufacturers and job shops, connected to the ERP or accounting system you already run.
Targeted software for the bottleneck, not another giant system
Small and mid-size manufacturers often have an ERP or accounting system that handles the books but not the work on the floor. Quotes are built in spreadsheets, the production schedule lives on a whiteboard or in one planner's head, and traceability means searching paper records when a customer asks.
Replacing the whole ERP is rarely the right first step. We build focused tools for the bottleneck, such as a quoting app, a scheduling board, a traceability log or a dealer portal, and connect them to the systems you keep.
What we build
Quoting and RFQ tools
Material, machine time, setup and finishing calculated from your own rates, producing consistent quotes in minutes.
Production scheduling
Jobs scheduled by machine, shift and due date, with a shop-floor view of what runs next.
Traceability and quality records
Batch and lot records, inspections and certificates linked to each order.
Dealer and supplier portals
Dealers place orders and check stock; suppliers confirm purchase orders and delivery dates.
Catalogue website with RFQ
A product and capability website that collects complete quote requests.
ERP and accounting integration
Orders, stock and invoices kept in step with the system of record.
What it costs
DevGlim custom software projects start from $1,500, and a full custom ERP starts from $2,000. Most manufacturers start with one tool for the biggest bottleneck and extend from there.

- Documentation, so another team could maintain the system later.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need to replace our ERP?
Usually not. Focused tools for quoting, scheduling or traceability can connect to your existing ERP or accounting system, which is faster and less risky than a full replacement.
Can you build quoting software for a machine shop?
Yes. We model your materials, machine rates, setup times and finishing costs so estimators produce consistent quotes quickly.
Can the schedule update when a job runs late?
Yes. Status updates from the floor move dependent jobs and show the knock-on effect on due dates.
How do we start?
With a short review of the process that costs you most time or margin. We scope one tool for it with a price and timeline.
