Quote to cash
RFQs, estimates, orders, jobs, shipments, and invoice readiness stay connected.
Built for the floor
Capacity, travelers, operator time, WIP, scrap, rework, tooling, and maintenance are visible.
QMS-aware release
Inspection, NCR, certificate, and material-cert gates can block the right ERP step.
Control room view
The handoffs that usually hide in spreadsheets, pulled forward.
A job shop does not fail because one screen is missing. It fails when quoting, material, routing, setup, inspection, shipment, and invoice release all tell different stories. GaugeFlow ERP is shaped around those handoffs.

ERP modules
A tighter operating system for machine-shop work.
Use the sample modules to see how quoting, engineering, planning, production, quality, and finance fit together.
Quote and Estimate
Build RFQs with material, setup, run time, outside process, tooling, margin, and revision risk.
Plan and Schedule
See finite capacity by work center, reserve inspection time, and spot shortages before they hit the floor.
Run the Shop Floor
Use travelers, operator clocking, WIP moves, scrap capture, rework routing, and operation signoff.
Trace Every Lot
Connect purchase orders, heat lots, inventory, work orders, QMS inspection records, CoCs, and shipments.
Control Job Cost
Compare quote to actual material, labor, machine time, outside services, overhead, scrap, and rework.
Link to GaugeFlow QMS
Block shipment or invoice when final inspection, NCR disposition, or certificate release is missing.
Support ITAR Programs
Mark controlled data, limit access to authorized U.S. persons, block exports, and keep audit evidence.
Sample production flow
One job, one thread of truth.
The sample job follows the path most shops care about: estimate accurately, schedule realistically, capture work on the floor, and block release until quality records are ready.
RFQ
Estimate the work
Apex Aerospace requests 25 valve body kits. The quote includes 6061 bar, 8 routing steps, FAI, anodize, and target margin.
WO
Release the traveler
WO-2234 reserves VMC-1, pulls material lot H-7720, stages fixture FIX-VBK22, and schedules the first article gate.
QMS
Inspect before release
GaugeFlow QMS receives the job and inspection gate, then returns FAI and final inspection status to ERP.
Ship
Close the loop
The shipment packet requires the CoC, material certs, packing slip, and invoice-ready release state.
Demo-ready
See the sample ERP, then shape it around your shop.
The public website is set up for organic search and paid traffic: fast pages, useful manufacturing content, clear navigation, working contact paths, policy pages, and crawlable product routes.
Machine shop ERP questions
What kind of manufacturers is GaugeFlow ERP built for?
GaugeFlow ERP is designed for precision machine shops, job shops, contract manufacturers, and manufacturing teams that need quoting, scheduling, travelers, inventory, traceability, costing, and quality release gates.
Does GaugeFlow ERP replace GaugeFlow QMS?
No. GaugeFlow ERP is the commercial and production system. GaugeFlow QMS remains the quality system for inspections, certificates, NCRs, calibration, and controlled quality records.
Is Gauge Flow ERP the same as GaugeFlow ERP?
Yes. GaugeFlow ERP is the product name, but some people search for it as Gauge Flow ERP with a space. Both refer to the same machine shop manufacturing ERP.
Can it support lot traceability and certificates?
Yes. The sample workflow tracks material lots from purchasing and inventory through work orders, inspection, certificates, and shipment packets.
Is the website data real?
The website uses sample data to demonstrate common manufacturing workflows and does not represent a live customer environment.
Does GaugeFlow ERP make a company ITAR compliant?
No software can certify ITAR compliance by itself. GaugeFlow ERP can support an ITAR compliance program with self-hosting, data marking, access controls, release gates, and audit evidence, but each company remains responsible for classification, registration, authorization, policies, and legal review.
