Stop running your business on disconnected systems and double entry.
One platform — configure & quote, your ERP, delivery, auto-reordering and proactive pricing. Everything from first quote to trade-in, connected and automated.
One connected flow — live
Your CRM, quoting and ERP don’t talk to each other
Machine builders sell a highly configurable product on a patchwork of tools that don’t connect. Every gap is re-keyed data, a slower quote, and revenue that leaks after the sale.
Order to cash, connected at every step
This is the actual path an order takes, start to finish. Today most of it lives in separate tools and hand-offs. Connected, every step feeds the next automatically.

One connected system, six ways it pays off
Quote faster, quote clean
A machine builder & quoting tool with guardrails — any rep configures a valid, priced machine in minutes, with the BOM built automatically. True customs still route to engineering — with the spec already structured.
Connected quote-to-cash
Quotes flow into engineering and your ERP — Global Shop Solutions, Epicor, NetSuite and others — so inventory and BOMs update themselves. No double-entry.
Machine lifecycle tracking
Track every machine from build through ship and install, then through warranty, trade-in and upsell — inventory and status visible at every stage.
Hard-dollar ROI, every department
Not just a smaller software bill — Sales, Engineering, Accounting, Field Service and Support all stop doing manual busywork. Typically $100k–180k/yr combined, before the productivity gains. See the breakdown ↓
Automated inventory & reordering
Live inventory with tracked lead times — the system reorders long-lead parts automatically, so builds never stall waiting on material.
Proactive pricing intelligence
Track material price increases as they happen and get proactive machine-pricing recommendations — so margin holds when steel moves.

What a connected shop looks like
One connected platform replaces the disconnected stack — fewer tools, faster quotes, and revenue that used to leak. The savings aren’t just a smaller software bill — they show up on every team’s desk.
Every department stops doing the busywork
Illustrative example for a shop quoting ~150 machines a year — the same automation pattern, applied to what each team is still doing by hand today.

The questions owners actually ask
Do we have to replace our ERP?
No. Your ERP stays the system of record — the platform replaces the patchwork around it (CRM, quoting, order tracking, aftermarket) and keeps the ERP in sync so nothing gets re-keyed.
Our machines are engineered-to-order. Does a configurator even fit?
The configurator covers your standard models, sizes and options with guardrails — the bulk of quote volume. True custom work still goes through your engineering review; it just arrives as a structured spec and part-built BOM instead of a thread of emails.
Which ERPs do you integrate with?
Global Shop Solutions, Epicor and NetSuite are the named examples — the pattern holds regardless of which one you run: two-way sync on sales orders, BOMs and inventory levels, via API where your ERP exposes one or a scheduled file/database sync where it doesn’t. Your ERP stays the system of record; method, depth and timing get pinned down against your exact ERP and version before anything is promised.
How does a rollout actually work?
Phased: discovery on your models and pricing rules, configuration, data migration, training — then go-live running alongside your current tools until you choose to cut over. The timeline is scoped against your stack in the first call, not invented on this page.
What does it cost?
There’s no public price list because the build is scoped to your shop — models, volume, ERP and how much of the patchwork you replace. A short discovery gets you a straight number, not a season of meetings.
How much of this page is real?
The demo is a sandbox and the figures are illustrative — the disclaimers mean exactly that. What’s real is the platform itself, running in production at a working CNC machine builder today. Ask for live-portal test access and judge the real thing.
Is there a phone line?
No — email only. inquire@buildlabconsulting.com goes straight to Jake, the person who built and runs this platform — not a queue, not a ticket system.
