📋

Jobs fall through the cracks

Sticky notes, texts, and memory. One busy week and something ships late — or not at all.

💸

No idea where the money is

Invoices in email, expenses in a shoe box. You're profitable on paper but always cash-tight.

🔧

Staff doing different things

No single source of truth. Everyone's version of the job status is slightly wrong.

📦

Inventory surprises

You find out you're out of something when a customer asks for it. Not before.

Built for shops like yours

Real shops. Real outcomes. No marquee customer names — just the shape of the operation and what changed.

Great Lakes Manufacturing 52 employees · custom weldments · Great Lakes region
22% → 38% bid win rate
4 days → same day quote turnaround
Before CBS

Three to four hours per quote. Estimator cross-referencing labor rates and material costs from memory and a spreadsheet. Jobs lost not because price was wrong — but because they were too slow to answer.

With CBS

Same-day quoting with margin guardrails. The system flags thin margins before the quote goes out. Jobs lost to slow turnaround dropped from 30% to under 10%.

Tri-State Tool & Die 84 employees · structural steel · Tri-State region
71% → 94% on-time delivery
11 → 2–3 schedule reshuffles/week
Before CBS

The scheduler was reshuffling the board eleven times a week. Every time something slipped, nobody knew until the customer called. On-time delivery sat at 71% — apologetically late, every single week.

With CBS

Connected schedule + floor-wide visibility. Problems get seen before the customer has to report them. Schedule reshuffles dropped to 2–3 per week. Customer "where's my order?" calls went from weekly to rare.

Midwest Precision Machining 28 employees · aerospace + medical CNC · Midwest
18% → 6% rework rate
3–4 days → 1–2 days quote turnaround
Before CBS

Three spreadsheets. One rework rate. No margin visibility until after invoicing. Jobs fell through when things got busy — and nobody knew the real margin on a job until after it shipped, if then.

With CBS

Actual margins visible before the next quote goes out. Live project status across the whole team. Scheduling that holds — and when something slips, everyone adapts before the customer asks.
