ProShop Alternative · K+G Ai ERP

A modern machine shop ERP that doesn't need a QuickBooks bolt-on.

ProShop built a great digital binder. We built the operating system. AI quoting, predictive scheduling, live job costing, and a full general ledger — all in one place, with native iOS and Android. The ProShop alternative for shops that have outgrown paperless and want intelligent.

01 · Why shops move

What ProShop gets right — and where it leaves you stuck.

ProShop deserves real credit: the QMS workflows, audit trail, and AS9100 readiness are solid. But every ProShop shop we've talked to runs into the same four ceilings — and they're not "configuration" problems, they're product gaps.

Gap 01

ProShop has no built-in accounting. Every shop also pays QuickBooks, every shop maintains a sync, and every reconciliation discrepancy becomes someone's evening.

→ K+G Ai ERP

Full double-entry GL, AR/AP, P&L, balance sheet, Plaid bank feed, and continuous AI-driven close. Retire the QuickBooks subscription and the manual sync.

Gap 02

ProShop quoting is spreadsheet-style. Estimators key in features manually; the system doesn't learn from completed jobs; your senior estimator's knowledge is still trapped in his head.

→ K+G Ai ERP

AI reads the print — 2D or 3D — extracts material, dimensions, tolerances, generates a full multi-op routing with cost per op, and calibrates against your actuals every job.

Gap 03

ProShop tells you a job IS late, after it's late. The schedule is a list, not a model — there's no risk score, no root cause, no "what if Mazak goes down Thursday."

→ K+G Ai ERP

Predictive risk engine flags slipping jobs three days out with root cause and mitigation options. Dual-mode scheduler (greedy + AI) auto-calibrates from real clock data.

Gap 04

ProShop is essentially browser-only. No real mobile app, no driver delivery app, no operator iPad lobby. Your CRM lives somewhere else entirely.

→ K+G Ai ERP

Native iOS + Android apps for the shop floor (PIN-login kiosk), accounting (mobile receipt capture), CRM (business-card scanner), and driver delivery with e-signatures.

03 · Switching from ProShop

Live in two to three weeks — without losing your binder.

ProShop exports cleanly. Our AI handles the schema mapping. Your specialist spends their time on your people, not on data entry.

Export from ProShop

Customers, vendors, parts, routings, jobs, quality records, BOMs — straight out of ProShop's export tools. CSV, Excel, or direct database dump.

AI maps your data

Our AI reads ProShop's structure, maps it into K+G's schema, flags anomalies for review, and imports the full history — including inspection records and NCR/CAPA chains.

Train your people

100% of your specialist's time goes to role-by-role walkthroughs. Estimators, schedulers, machinists, accounting, leadership — everyone is fluent before go-live.

04 · Common questions

What ProShop customers ask us first.

How long does it take to migrate from ProShop to K+G Ai ERP?

Most shops are live in 2–3 weeks. Our AI maps your ProShop export — customers, parts, jobs, routings, quality records — into K+G's schema automatically, and our specialist spends 100% of their time training your team rather than re-keying data.

Will I lose my historical job and quality data?

No. Full job history, routings, inspection records, CoCs, and NCR/CAPA history come across. Anything you've stored in ProShop's digital binder ends up in K+G's Part DNA system — where it actually feeds future quotes and schedules instead of sitting in a folder.

Do I still need QuickBooks if I move from ProShop to K+G?

No. K+G includes a full double-entry general ledger, AR/AP, P&L, balance sheet, bank feed via Plaid (12,000+ banks), and automated month-end close. You can retire the QuickBooks subscription and the manual sync between systems.

Is K+G Ai ERP AS9100 and ISO 9001 ready?

Yes — and this was a non-negotiable for us because we run AS9100 and ISO 9001 work ourselves. Inspection plan builder, CMM import, CoC generation, NCR with CAPA, and a system-wide audit trail are built in, not modular.

How does K+G's pricing compare to ProShop?

K+G Ai ERP is flat platform pricing starting at $1,995/mo (single location, up to 15 employees), with every module — production, accounting, CRM, HR, mobile apps — included. ProShop is per-user with modular pricing; a 15-user shop typically pays meaningfully more once you add the QuickBooks subscription and the integrations to keep them in sync.
