Shop-floor visibility systems built from real production friction.
Convergent Shop Systems is being developed around the planning and visibility problems that make technical shops hard to manage: machine load, setup time, staged work, changeovers, delivery pressure, and the gap between what the shop knows and what the system shows.
DEVELOPMENT FOCUS
The problem is not just scheduling. It is knowing what the schedule actually means.
Most shops can create a schedule. The harder problem is seeing what that schedule means once real work hits the floor: where capacity is being lost, which jobs need attention, what constraints are forming, and which decisions need to be made before small delays become expensive problems.

SYSTEM MODULES
Built for the gap between spreadsheets and ERP.
Convergent Shop Systems is being developed for production floors that have outgrown spreadsheet-based coordination but do not need another rigid, expensive, or disconnected ERP layer. It is a suite of practical shop-floor modules for improving visibility into work, capacity, constraints, progress, and decision points — with the goal of helping teams identify and realize additional production capacity from the resources they already have.
The first active module is Convergent Shop Scheduler, built to expose the production details ordinary schedules often miss: setup time, changeover impact, machine utilization, staging delays, delivery pressure, and the difference between scheduled work and real usable capacity.
Convergent Shop Scheduler
A developing scheduling module for visualizing machine time, staged work, conflicts, projected finish dates, setup/changeover effects, and production status.
Capacity visibility layer
Practical views that help teams see what is running, what is next, what is late, where capacity is being lost, and what can be adjusted before constraints become expensive problems.
Beyond spreadsheet control
Planned modules extend into production rate analysis, part projection, job setup intelligence, material visibility, costing support, and other tools that reduce shop-floor friction.
Find the capacity your current systems are hiding.
A useful Convergent Shop Systems conversation starts with the production floor reality: overloaded machines, unclear priorities, spreadsheet workarounds, missed handoffs, late work, or capacity that seems unavailable but may not be fully understood.
