Order entry stops being a re-keying job.
Every revision, duplicate, and rescan of an order gets grouped, the governing revision picked, and only the mismatches land in a human's queue.
For machine, plating, coating & finishing shops
Print → quote → PO → job → cert → invoice → cash. Every arrow on that line is a person today, retyping a number that already exists somewhere else. BrixIQ is the arrow: it reads the print, prices it against your rates, matches the PO, pulls the cert, builds the invoice, chases the payment. Your people keep every judgment call: it types, they approve.
Print to cash, one system. Keep the ERP you run today: nothing to rip out, nothing to migrate. Don't run one? BrixIQ can be the system of record itself.
Wondering what happens to what you already run? Where BrixIQ sits
Every arrow on that line is a person today.
BrixIQ is the arrow.
Order entry stops being a re-keying job.
Every revision, duplicate, and rescan of an order gets grouped, the governing revision picked, and only the mismatches land in a human's queue.
The shop runs on it.
Kiosk at the station, gauges wired in, readings streaming live against the spec. On plating lines, rectifier telemetry: amp hours, thickness, hold stability, anomaly detection.
The paperwork proves itself.
SPC with Cp/Cpk, coupon test certificates, document control with approvals and revisions. That's what gets you through audits, and what lets you bid the higher-margin work.
The money arrives without a chase.
Invoices built from actual shipments with every required document attached, automated reminders, ACH autopay, and a customer portal that answers “where's my invoice” for you.
Measured at Anodizers Inc
Before and after figures for the work BrixIQ took over, measured on their own jobs.
Fast enough to quote every RFQ instead of only the easy ones.
Revisions, duplicates, and rescans matched against the quote in the background. Only the mismatches reach a person.
One click. Every record tied to the part, the rev, and the job.
Built from job data that is already in the system, not retyped into a form.
The 30 minute version was error prone. The 1 minute version is solid.
Every one of these is a person retyping something that already exists somewhere else.
“A print comes in and someone works up the price with a ruler, a calculator, and last year's spreadsheet, and hopes it's the current rev.”
BrixIQ reads the drawing: part number, dimensions, material, surface area, weight, prices it against your rates, and drafts the quote. Your estimator reviews and hits send instead of starting from a blank spreadsheet.
“They sent a revised PO with the expedite charge on it. We billed off the original quote. Nobody caught it. We just quietly made less money on the job.”
BrixIQ reads every PO that comes in (revisions, duplicates, rescans), picks the governing version, and matches it line by line against your quote and your ERP order. Price mismatches, missing charges, and quantity changes land in a queue before you build the job, not after you've shipped it.
“The customer wants a cert. It's in someone's inbox. The audit is Thursday.”
Every quality record (emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, systems) lands in one searchable place, tied to the part and the job.
“We shipped it three weeks ago and still haven't invoiced it. And the expedite fee the customer agreed to? Accounting never heard about it. Nobody caught it.”
Invoices build themselves from the shipment and the quote (minimums, expedite and lot charges included), so nothing you agreed to bill falls off. Reminders go out on schedule, customers pay online, and vendor bills get read and matched automatically.
Have an ERP? It stays the system of record and BrixIQ does the paperwork around it. Don't? BrixIQ can be both.
Quality, operations, and the floor, on what changed after BrixIQ went in.
A few months ago, this would've been impossible. The data lived across about 10 Excel files, all in different formats. With BrixIQ, I pulled together thickness data from 2,000+ records in minutes. What used to be painful is now effortless.
A production team member needed to understand anodizing cycle times across a series of part numbers. I suggested asking BrixIQ. Within moments, it delivered the answer, eliminating hours of manual digging and guesswork. The team's reaction was simply 'wow, we can't believe this.'
Six of us used to spend nearly two hours every Monday morning sorting through tasks and incidents. With BrixIQ's automated case management system, that same process now takes just five minutes as a quick team sync. What used to drain time and energy is now effortless.
One price, unlimited users, no setup fee. Start with automated estimating (the module that pays for itself first), and add the rest when you're ready.
