DynamxMFG vs ProShop ERP
ProShop is a deep, paperless ERP built in North America for machine shops with heavy compliance needs such as AS9100. DynamxMFG is a UK cloud MES for SME discrete manufacturers. Both are serious systems that suit different sizes, budgets and geographies.
The short answer
Aerospace-grade depth or UK SME speed.
Choose DynamxMFG® if…
You are a UK SME that needs live tracking, job costing and ISO 9001 level traceability without an enterprise-scale project. You want UK support hours, UK accounts integrations and value inside 90 days.
Choose ProShop ERP if…
AS9100 or similar compliance is the centre of your business, you have the team and budget for a long, deep implementation, and US-hours support is acceptable. ProShop is genuinely strong in that world.
The fundamental difference: ProShop is scoped like an enterprise programme. DynamxMFG is scoped so a 10 to 200 person UK manufacturer is live in 90 days.

A deeper look at what you get with DynamxMFG
Shop floor
Works orders, live from the floor
Works orders are raised with their bill of materials and routing attached, then issued straight to screens at each work centre. Operators book on and off operations at the terminal, so progress, labour and material land against the job as it happens.
No re-keying, no walking the floor to find out where a job is, and no waiting until Friday for the tracker to be updated.
- Works orders with BOMs and routings
- Live booking at the work centre
- Progress visible without leaving the office
Job costing
Margin you can see before invoicing
Every clocking and material issue lands against the job, so estimated versus actual cost is live for every works order. You see the job that is drifting while there is still time to act on it.
Costs push straight into Xero, Sage or QuickBooks, so the accounts tell the same story as the shop floor.
- Live cost against estimate per job
- Labour, material and overhead actuals
- Margin report per sales order
Planning
Scheduling linked to real capacity
The scheduler works from live capacity and actual job progress, not a plan that was true on Monday morning. When priorities change, the schedule moves with them.
Material requirements come from demand and bills of materials, so purchasing knows what is needed before the shortage appears.
- Drag and drop scheduling against capacity
- MRP driven by real demand
- Shortages flagged before they bite
Why manufacturers switch
Three differences that matter on the floor
Right-sized compliance
Full traceability per job, operator and machine, quality control and NCR tracking, without carrying the overhead of tooling built for AS9100 primes.
UK accounts, UK hours
Native Xero, Sage and QuickBooks connections and a support team in your timezone, not a US stack adapted for the UK.
90 days, not a programme
DynamxMFG implementations are measured in weeks with hands-on support. Deep ERP projects are measured in quarters.
Customers
What manufacturers say
“DynamxMFG is an excellent choice for manufacturers looking to digitise operations without being overwhelmed by complexity.”
“As GMC has grown, it had become harder for me to have such a keen view on components to see if those parts were profitable or not. DynamxMFG enabled us to monitor the machine time and see whether we are making a profit or a loss on each component.”
“The ability to dynamically modify BOMs after release, adding or removing items from work orders, scrapping and reworking parts, has been the single biggest improvement for our business.”
