Growth-oriented machine shops often reach a point where existing systems begin to limit progress.
Contents
As customer requirements become more complex and expectations around delivery and quality rise, manual processes and inflexible ERP systems create friction across planning, scheduling, and execution. For precision manufacturers, even small inefficiencies can lead to missed deadlines, higher costs, and lost opportunities.
This whitepaper from ProShop examines how East Branch Engineering and Manufacturing, a Connecticut-based precision machining company, replaced legacy ERP systems with a paperless manufacturing platform built specifically for machine shops. The transition enabled East Branch to streamline workflows, improve visibility, and support growth without adding overhead.
Drawing on East Branch’s real-world experience, the paper highlights how replacing static, paper-based travelers with real-time digital workflows improved setup efficiency, reduced downtime, and strengthened customer confidence.
You will learn how:
- Legacy ERP systems limit visibility and slow execution on the shop floor
- ProShop enabled East Branch Engineering to move to a fully paperless workflow
- Setup time was reduced by approximately 50 percent through better planning and documentation
- Revenue increased by 18 percent as delivery performance and efficiency improved
- Real-time visibility helped achieve 100 percent on-time delivery
The whitepaper also explores how ProShop supported East Branch in securing larger orders from new and existing customers. By demonstrating structured processes, real-time data access, and audit readiness, East Branch increased trust and expanded its role with key accounts.
This whitepaper is designed for machine shop owners, manufacturing leaders, and operations teams seeking insight into how paperless systems can drive efficiency, improve delivery performance, and support sustainable growth.
