Run your entire machining shop on one platform
Sontis digitizes the full quote → order → machining → inspection → shipping workflow — quotes with automatic weight calculation, real-time inventory, and a Workshop mode built for phones on the shop floor.
PROBLEMS
Familiar pain points of machining shops
And how Sontis solves each one.
PROBLEM
Manual Excel quotes take hours and are prone to weight and pricing errors; everyone does it differently, and old quotes are hard to find.
HOW SONTIS SOLVES IT
Weight is calculated automatically from material × shape × dimensions, with instant price lookup for repeat parts — accurate quotes in minutes.
PROBLEM
No accurate view of remaining steel or pipe stock; material shortages surface after orders are accepted, and offcuts pile up uncontrolled.
HOW SONTIS SOLVES IT
Real-time material & finished-goods inventory, in/out logs with reasons, and low-stock alerts — always know what you have.
PROBLEM
Information scattered across paper, Excel, and chat; the office and shop floor don't see the same data, causing mistakes and missed work.
HOW SONTIS SOLVES IT
One single platform: the office works on desktop, workers use Workshop mode on their phones — same data, updated instantly.
PROBLEM
With many orders, it's hard to know what's being machined and what's about to miss its delivery date — often discovered only when the customer asks.
HOW SONTIS SOLVES IT
Track order status from Pending to Delivered, with a 14-day delivery timeline and overdue alerts right on the Dashboard.
PROBLEM
Revised drawings arrive scattered via email, fax, and LINE; the shop floor machines from an outdated version — defects, rework, lost trust.
HOW SONTIS SOLVES IT
Drawings are revision-managed per quote/order — the shop floor always opens the latest version, with old revisions kept for reference.
PROBLEM
Customer-specific prices, trade terms, and quoting know-how live in one person's head — when they're away, the whole shop stalls.
HOW SONTIS SOLVES IT
All quote history, per-customer pricing, and trade notes live in the system — anyone with access can look them up in seconds.
DIFFERENCE
Why small shops choose Sontis over big-name ERP
There's no shortage of manufacturing software — but very little of it was built for a 5–50 person machining shop.
BIG SOFTWARE
Upfront fees from hundreds of thousands to millions of yen, 3–6 months of rollout, often requiring dedicated IT consultants.
Sontis
Usable the day you sign up. No upfront fees, start on the Free plan — self-setup in 15 minutes, no IT needed.
BIG SOFTWARE
Generic management software forces the shop to bend its workflow to fit the software.
Sontis
Born on a CNC shop floor: material × machining quotes, drawing revisions, inspection-to-shipping — matching your daily flow as-is.
BIG SOFTWARE
Japanese software is Japanese-only — hard for Vietnamese engineers and trainees on the floor, causing input errors.
Sontis
Switch Vietnamese / Japanese / English in one tap: the office reads Japanese, the floor works in Vietnamese — on the same data.
BIG SOFTWARE
Hundreds of features you'll never use, confusing menus, and paying for things you don't need.
Sontis
Only what a workshop actually needs, with a Workshop screen optimized for phones on the floor — lean, fast, easy to train new staff.
WORKFLOW

Every team — office and shop floor — sees the same data in real time.
