ProShop ERP – a leading software solution for precision manufacturing companies – recently announced an investment from Mainsail Partners. Mainsail invests in fast-growing, founder-led, vertical enterprise resource planning (ERP) software companies. And the company intends to utilize the capital to expedite product development and to continue to build upon the market-leading services and support provided to its customers.
ProShop ERP offers software to manufacturers in regulated industries like the defense, aerospace, medical, and space industries. And customers use Proshop to improve their everyday operations, streamlining processes such as on-time delivery, shop throughput, quoting, set-up times, ISO and AS9100 certifications, and more within an ITAR – and CMMC-compliant cloud environment. These solutions support clients’ goals to move away from paper-based workflows and into a paperless environment.
The company’s platform and established customer support make ProShop attractive for small-to-medium-sized manufacturers looking to streamline their operations.
Anthony Hayes, a Vice President at Mainsail, along with Jason Frankel, a Partner at Mainsail, will be welcomed as new ProShop Board of Directors members. Their deep experience will be pertinent going forward.
