Product screens are design previews of the software in development.

Everything included. All of it.

No modules, no add-on packs, no "talk to sales to unlock." One price buys the whole system.

Quoting with quantity breaks

Setup amortized across breaks, bar-stock calculator in the material line.

Online quote acceptance

Customers accept from a link — no account — with the PO attached.

Digital + printed travelers

QR code per op, prints clean on the printer you already own.

Repeat-job memory

Every part keeps its quotes, actuals, setup photos, and revisions.

Floor kiosk & phone app

No-password clocking that queues offline and syncs later.

TV schedule board

Every job by machine — red when late, yellow when close.

Material & heat-lot traceability

Scan the mill cert at receiving; it rides the job to the audit binder.

Compliance suite — included

FAI/AS9102, C of C templates, gage calibration alerts, NCRs.

Live job P&L

Quoted vs. actual while the job runs — not after the invoice is paid.

QuickBooks sync

Invoices push one-way. We will never touch your accounting.

Unlimited users

Per-seat pricing punishes adoption. We don't do it, ever.

One-click data export

Everything, CSVs plus PDFs, documented format, on every plan.

The Shop Server

Don't want the cloud? Buy the box. Own it.

$4,250 one-time. We ship a silent, fanless mini-server; you plug in power and ethernet, scan a QR code, and Traveler runs on your LAN — with the internet unplugged if you want. Your data never leaves the building.

  • No subscription required — the box works forever
  • ITAR-friendly by architecture: every byte stays in your building
  • Survives internet outages because it never needed the internet
  • Optional $59/mo continuity plan: updates, nightly encrypted off-site backup, phone-app access from home

Full pricing — including what the incumbents charge

Straight answers

What does Traveler cost?

$109/month flat per shop — everything included, unlimited users, no implementation fee. Or buy the Shop Server for $4,250 one-time and own it. The price is on the page; there is no quote form.

We run fine on spreadsheets and a whiteboard. Why switch?

Honestly? Many shops do run fine — until the person whose head holds the schedule takes a week off. Traveler is built to beat the spreadsheet on keystrokes, not just features: if quoting or receiving takes more typing than your current Excel sheet, we consider that a bug.

What happens to our data if you disappear or we quit?

Every edition has a one-click full export — CSVs plus every PDF, documented format, no gate. Shop Server owners additionally hold their data on hardware they physically own.

The internet at our shop goes down constantly. Dealbreaker?

No — it's the design target. Floor clock-ins and traveler scans queue locally and sync when the connection returns, and the Shop Server runs entirely on your LAN. You can print a packing slip while your ISP is down.

We do ITAR / defense work. Can we use cloud software?

If your policy says no cloud, the Shop Server keeps every byte inside your building — that's a cleaner answer than any vendor's GovCloud tier. Cloud-edition ITAR hosting is on the roadmap for shops that want it.

Do you charge per user?

Never. Per-seat pricing punishes exactly the behavior shop software needs — everyone using it. Your machinists, your bookkeeper, your customer's acceptance clicks: all included.
