ProShop ERP with Chip review

AI over the shop's own job history, aimed at setup knowledge and margin before the quote goes.

Verdict

ProShop's Chip is the AI on this page aimed at the symptom owners mention least and lose most to: knowledge that walks out with one machinist. The vendor says every job teaches the next one. Chip surfaces setup notes and the notes from the last perfect run, flags below target margins before a quote leaves, and flags expedited jobs, overloaded machines and late materials. Because it sits inside the ERP, the job history it reads is the shop's own. ProShop says onboarding drops from months of shadowing to days, a vendor claim.

What customers praise

Prime Manufacturing is named going from late 20 percent of the time to 95 percent on time delivery, and Roush Yates Manufacturing Solutions is a named customer. ITAR workflows and a CMMC Level 2 path are mentioned, which matters to a defence supplier. The vendor claims a 25 percent average throughput increase.

What customers criticise

No price. The pricing page says users, standard or government, and customised. The page doesn't say whether Chip is included or extra. The pages read name no third party integration, so the AI only knows what is inside ProShop. Moving to it is an ERP replacement.

Best for

An aerospace, medical or energy machine shop whose setup knowledge lives in two senior machinists, whose audits are a scramble, and who wants the AI to sit on the job history it already keeps.
