If you make to order and keep the certs, it fits.
Amplify ERP started in aerospace, but most of what aerospace demands is simply good practice for any shop that machines to a drawing for a customer who checks. The same system, without the parts you do not need.
What these shops share
Three things that are true whatever you make.
-
Truth 1
The quote decides the month
Estimates come from routing times, work-centre rates and material, with quantity breaks and margin worked out for you. A draft routing is enough to quote a part you have never made.
-
Truth 2
The date you give is a promise
A finite-capacity plan across every machine, in routing order, so the date on the acknowledgement is one the shop floor can hit.
-
Truth 3
Somebody will ask for the paperwork
Batch, heat number and cert carried from goods-in to the certificate of conformity, whether or not a standard makes you.
Sector by sector
The same system, leaning a different way.
Rules such as the first-article hold can be switched off, or set to warn, department by department, so a shop that does not need one is not made to work round it.
Motorsport
Ones and twos on short lead times, with drawings that change mid-season. Issue control keeps the right revision on the machine, and the plan shows at once what a rush job pushes out.
Medical devices
Lot traceability from bar to box, inspection reports against limits, shelf life on stock, and NCRs that cannot close without a corrective action.
Oil, gas and energy
Material certs and heat numbers on every batch, and subcontract processes such as NDT and coating that cannot come back in without their cert reference.
General subcontract machining
Repeat work batched to save setups, customer free-issue material kept apart from your own, and job costs that tell you which work is worth winning again.

Beta partner programme
We're building this with machine shops, not just for them.
A small group of precision engineering firms is using Amplify ERP early and shaping what gets built next. There is room for a few more.
- Early access to the full system
- A direct line to the people building it
- A say in what gets built next
