ProShop is a revolutionary software for small to medium manufacturing companies to help them realize considerably more profit and throughput with far less frustration. Our software was built over 17 years while my partners and I grew and sold Pro CNC (see below) and includes all the traditional functions of ERP, MES and QMS, but it is a completely novel approach that works considerably better than other products on the market. We also take a very intimate approach to helping our customers implement and realize improvements in their business.The ProShop team is made up of two corporate entities. Adion Systems in Vancouver, and ProShop USA in Bellingham WA. About half the team is employed in each location.

DFM Partners consults with companies to improve their bottom line profitability through deep engagement with Design for Manufacturability on the engineering of mechanical products and the manufacturing processes to make those products. Two decades of engineering and manufacturing experience, including 5 years of directly advising customers on how to reduce the manufacturing cost of their products, gives us a unique background to affect significant change through the value stream. We can engage deeply with your engineers in a humble and non-threatening way to improve the mechanical design of your products so they are less expensive to manufacture. We can then engage with your manufacturer to improve their process to eliminate cost and lead time. In one notable example we were able to save 20% of the machining cost of a very high volume part - roughly $5M per year in just a few days work.
