JobShop OMS — Blueprint to Ownership Build Kit

**Stop renting your manufacturing software. Build it once. Own it forever.**

Most job shops are stuck choosing between two bad options: enterprise ERP that costs $24,000+ per year and is built for someone else's workflow, or spreadsheets that break the moment the shop grows past one person. This build kit gives you a third option: a custom AI-powered Order Management System designed for your shop, built by you, owned by you forever.

**You won't just get software. You'll build it.** With Claude AI as your coding partner, you'll go from a blank folder to a working production-grade application in 8 prompts. Every feature is yours to customize, modify, and extend.

### What you'll build

- **Delivery Dashboard** — week/month schedule, status badges, real-time YTD revenue stats

- **AI PO Extraction** — upload a customer PO PDF, Claude extracts every line item in seconds

- **Excel Import & Export** — bridge to your existing spreadsheets in both directions

- **Full Audit Trail** — every change logged with who, what, when, and old/new values

- **User Management & Roles** — admins edit, viewers read, full lockout protection

- **Document Management** — attach work instructions and supporting files to any PO

- **Mobile Responsive** — works from a phone on the shop floor

Plus four optional bonus features when you're ready: Write Locks, Smart Match auto-fill, Setup Checklists & Travelers, and an Insights Dashboard with quarterly trends.

### What's in the box

- **Blueprint to Ownership ebook** — 8 core prompts + 4 bonus, with explanations, decision points, manufacturing insights, and test checkpoints after every step

- **Prompt Pack** — every prompt on one page with 1-click copy buttons (no selecting text from a PDF)

- **8 Sample PO PDFs** — aerospace, medical, defense, and general manufacturing formats for testing AI extraction

- **Excel Import Template + 50-record sample data file** — populate your dashboard with realistic test data on day one

- **Complete reference app source code** — the finished app to compare against if your build diverges

- **Quickstart Guide** — skip the build, run the finished app today (5–10 minute setup)

- **Hosting Guide** — three deployment options walked through step by step

### Two paths to the same destination

**Path A — The Learning Path.** 8 prompts you paste into Claude in your browser. No software to install. The free tier of Claude works for the whole build (expect 4–6 short sessions over a few days; Claude Pro at $20/mo gets it done in one sitting). You learn the build loop while you build, and you walk away with skills you can apply to every future automation problem in your shop.

**Path B — The Express Build.** A single comprehensive instruction for Claude Code. Builds the entire app in 30–60 minutes. For experienced users or rebuilds.

### Who this is for

- Manufacturing job shops between 10 and 50 employees

- Operators trapped between expensive enterprise ERP and spreadsheet chaos

- Anyone whose Excel "system" has grown past what one person can hold in their head

- Shops that need software shaped to their workflow, not the other way around

### Who built this

Built by Steve Consoles — a manufacturing COO with 10+ years on the shop floor, not a professional developer. Every prompt, decision, and design choice in this kit comes from real shop experience. The kit was built with AI; the judgment behind it was earned the hard way.

### Five guarantees

1. **No subscriptions, ever.** One purchase, yours forever.

2. **No per-seat pricing.** Add ten users or a hundred — same price.

3. **You own the code.** Customize anything, anytime, with no vendor's permission.
