In short
Agenbord Make is a proposed ERP for make-to-order manufacturers: machine shops, metal fabricators and sign shops. It covers quoting, routings, scheduling, shop-floor time capture, purchasing and job cost. It is a concept shown with illustrative designs, delivered today as a custom build on our ERP engine's job-costing and inventory modules.
Job shops win or lose on two things: how fast they can quote accurately and whether jobs finish at the cost they were quoted. Most run quoting in spreadsheets and learn the real cost of a job weeks later, if at all.
Agenbord Make is our proposed answer: quotes built from the shop's own history and rates, routings that drive the schedule, and time captured at each operation so actual cost lands on the job as it happens.

Agenbord Make: common questions.
Is Agenbord Make a product I can buy today?
Not as a ready-made product. It is a concept delivered as a custom build on our ERP engine. Established job-shop ERPs exist and may suit you better if you want something off the shelf now; the edition pages compare them fairly.
Can AI really quote from drawings?
It can help: extract dimensions, materials and features from drawings and find similar past jobs so the estimator starts from real history. It doesn't replace the estimator's judgment, and we test accuracy on your own drawings before relying on it.
