Spreadsheets with hidden logic. Tribal knowledge locked in one person. What worked at 20 jobs a week breaks at 50.
Quotes get slower. Margins drift. Errors compound. The bottleneck stops being the machines — it becomes the estimator.
Five components. Each maps to something that already exists on your floor — just captured, versioned, and operating at speed.
Define jobs as a sequence of real operations. Cut, print, bind, weld, finish, pack — each step carries cost logic tied to your shop. No abstractions. No guesswork.
Capture how your best estimator thinks. Reusable job templates, prebuilt routings, default pricing logic. Quotes start 80 percent complete — the remaining 20 is where judgment matters.
Every quote reflects actual production. Setup separated from run. Machine rates. Material yield. Volume scaling. Change the quantity — price updates instantly. No hidden spreadsheet formulas.

See margin in real time. Cost and price side by side. Target thresholds. Flags on risky quotes. No more blind quoting at the back of the shop.
Know what is happening in your pipeline. Quote status from draft to sent to won or lost. Version history on every quote. Win-rate trends by customer and product family.
Mixed materials, mixed equipment, mixed in-house and outsourced steps. If the work is physical, JAWS has a routing for it.
Laser, press brake, weld, finish — in any combination, with outsourced steps tracked alongside your own.
Offset and digital print with full finishing routing — the same system running daily at a working trade bindery.
Multi-step routing, mixed materials, job-shop environments. Whatever the combination of operations — it maps.
Four linear steps from first call to full adoption. Measured in days and weeks, not quarters.
Load your machines, rates, materials, and customer classes. Done with your team, not around them.
Build your first job templates from live jobs you already quoted last month.
First real quotes go out the door. Side-by-side with your old spreadsheet, until you stop needing it.
Front desk, estimators, and owners all in the same system. Spreadsheet goes away.
Bring a real job. We’ll model it live, next to your current spreadsheet. You’ll know in 30 minutes whether it works for your floor.
