We find where your production loses money. Then we build the fix.
Apslo builds software around how small manufacturers actually work: quoting that flows from the showroom to the shop floor, live production tracking, cutting and nesting optimization. Every system is assembled from modules already running in real factories, so a bespoke fit is live in weeks and keeps working after we leave.
Currently building for furniture factories, metal fabricators and bespoke workshopsFirst the diagnosis. Then the build. Then we make it stick.
Find the biggest leak
We start on your workflow, not on software. A short fixed-fee review maps how an order really travels through your business, from enquiry to invoice, and puts a number on where time and margin disappear. You get a written report you can act on with or without us.
Build from proven blocks
We do not start from a blank page and we do not force you into a package. Systems are assembled from modules we already run in production: quoting, orders, product configuration, boards, time registration, nesting, client portals. You pay for the fit, not for reinventing the plumbing.
Stay until it works
Software nobody on the floor uses is a cost. We introduce systems in phases, train the people who use them daily, and adjust based on what actually happens in the first weeks. A care plan keeps the system moving with your business.
Built around your workflow
Quoting from showroom to production
Your sales people configure a product, the price calculates itself, the client approves, and production receives a complete, correct job. One flow from enquiry to shop floor.
→Quoting systemsLive production tracking
Board shows every job, every stage, every station, updated from the floor on phones or kiosks. Built for non-linear, made-to-order production.
→Explore BoardCutting and nesting optimization
From a weekly production plan to optimized cutting files for your machines. Fewer offcuts, less manual drawing, faster changeovers. Try the free DXF nesting tool and see the approach.
→Nesting toolsIntegrations and automation
We connect the tools you already use, so quotes, orders and stock stay in sync and nobody re-keys data between systems.
→Integration workToo big for spreadsheets. Too specific for ERP.
Most small manufacturers sit between those two worlds: several jobs running at once, priorities changing daily, and a workflow no package was written for. That gap is the only place we work, and the modules we build from were made inside it.

A selection from recent engagements, described the way we found them: a workflow, a bottleneck, a system.
Client projects are described without names while work is ongoing. When a project completes and the client agrees, it appears here with their name on it.
Try the craft before you buy it
We publish small, free tools taken from real client work. They are the fastest way to judge how we think.
