THE 8 SERVICES MACHINE SHOPS OFFER — ON ONE SYSTEM
From the first CAD model to the signed installation ticket, a machine shop's work falls into eight service lines. Workover ERP is built to run every one of them on a single job record — so a part can be designed, permitted, machined, turned, fabricated, welded, finished, and installed without ever leaving the system.
Quick answer: Machine shops typically offer eight services — design, permit & compliance, CNC machining, turning, fabrication, welding, general machining, and installation. Workover ERP supports all eight, individually or end-to-end.
EACH SERVICE, EXPLAINED
What the service line is, and what Workover ERP does for it. Every card opens the full page for that service.
Design
WHAT IT IS
Engineering and CAD work before the first chip: models, prints, revisions, and engineering BOMs.
HOW WORKOVER RUNS IT
Priced from CAD-to-quote, clocked to the job, and revision-controlled to the floor.
Permit
WHAT IT IS
Compliance work — API monogram documentation, customer specs, MOC, and regulatory sign-offs.
HOW WORKOVER RUNS IT
Holds gate the workflow; the audit package compiles itself from the job.
CNC Machining
WHAT IT IS
Milling and machining centers running programmed parts in volume or one-offs.
HOW WORKOVER RUNS IT
Finite machine loading, tool-life tracking, and PMs triggered by spindle hours.
Turning
WHAT IT IS
Lathe work — shafts, pins, couplings, valve internals, bar work.
HOW WORKOVER RUNS IT
Lathe loading, in-process checks by piece count, and insert control by scan.
Fabrication
WHAT IT IS
Cutting, forming, and assembling plate and structural material into weldments.
HOW WORKOVER RUNS IT
Cut lists with remnant tracking, outside processes on the Gantt, weld maps in the record set.
Welding
WHAT IT IS
Code and production welding with procedures, qualifications, and NDE.
HOW WORKOVER RUNS IT
WPS/PQR control, welder continuity checks at dispatch, rod and wire issued by lot.
General Machining
WHAT IT IS
Job-shop machining — repairs, one-offs, and short runs across mixed equipment.
HOW WORKOVER RUNS IT
Travelers that cost themselves live, scrap logged with causes, quotes from routings.
Installation
WHAT IT IS
Field installation and commissioning at the customer's site.
HOW WORKOVER RUNS IT
Offline crew tablets, signatures on glass, and same-day invoicing from signed tickets.
MACHINE SHOP SERVICES — COMMON QUESTIONS
A full-service machine shop typically offers eight service lines: design (CAD and engineering), permit and compliance work, CNC machining, turning (lathe work), fabrication, welding, general machining, and field installation. Workover ERP runs all eight on one job record.
Can Workover ERP handle a shop that only does some of these services?
Yes. Modules activate per service line — a machining-only shop uses scheduling, routing and quality without the field-installation features, and can turn on more lines as the business grows.
Yes. The same work order carries engineering hours, machining operations, welding records, and the signed field ticket — so job costing and traceability span the entire lifecycle.
Serving these lines across many verticals — see the industries we serve.
