Business Impact difference
User Experience & Interface Design
Dynamic Single-Page App: Clean, modern UI that hides irrelevant data. Information is surfaced dynamically based on the user's immediate task.
"Hyperlink Soup" Web 1.0 UI: Cluttered, text-heavy screens packed with color-coded hyperlinks, requiring users to scan walls of text.
Naologic eliminates visual clutter and drives high user morale. ProShop causes severe screen fatigue and "click exhaustion.
AI Contextual Coaching: System actively guides new hires step-by-step through their workflows directly on the screen.
Steep, Exhausting Learning Curve: Requires extensive training to memorize which links to click and the rigid order of operations.
Naologic gets new hires productive in days. ProShop requires a massive time investment just to learn basic navigation.
Semantic AI Global Search: Search "that rush job for SpaceX" and AI finds the exact order, router, and customer instantly.
Nested Module Navigation: Users must click through hierarchical menus, folders, and links to drill down into specific job details.
Naologic saves hours of wasted time hunting for records. ProShop forces users into a rigid digital filing cabinet.
Native Responsive UI: Run the exact same powerful, touch-friendly ERP on an iPad on the floor as you do on a desktop.
Clunky Web Resizing: Operators on tablets struggle to pinch, zoom, and tap tiny text hyperlinks designed for a desktop mouse
Naologic modernizes the shop floor with frictionless touch execution. ProShop creates "fat-finger" errors on mobile devices.
Workflow Agility & Customization
AI-Native Adaptability: Workflows adapt to your shop's unique logic, allowing for both complex and streamlined routing.
The "ProShop Way": The software strictly dictates how you must run your shop. If you deviate, the system fights you.
Naologic molds to your business for maximum efficiency. ProShop forces your business to mold to its software.
Generative AI Builder: Prompt the AI to "modify this QA form," and the system builds and deploys it instantly without code.
Opinionated Closed System: You cannot easily change core fields or workflows; the system is designed to be used exactly as sold.
Naologic empowers operations to continuously improve and adapt. ProShop traps you in a frozen operational methodology.
AI Fast-Track Routing: Bypass heavy administrative requirements for simple or rapid-prototype jobs with a single click.
Administrative Red Tape: Users must satisfy the same rigid documentation steps for a 1-off prototype as a 1,000-part aerospace run.
Naologic maintains profitability on fast, low-volume jobs. ProShop chokes rapid-turn work with unnecessary bureaucracy.
API-First / Webhooks: Instantly push/pull data to modern tools (CRM, Shopify, external QMS) via standard REST APIs.
Siloed "All-in-One" Architecture: Designed to be your only software, making custom API integrations to third-party tools difficult.
Naologic acts as the central hub of a modern, automated tech stack. ProShop forces data to remain siloed within its own ecosystem.
Shop Floor Execution & Quality
One-Tap / IoT Outcome Logging: Operators log time, yield, and scrap with a single tap, or machines feed data directly via IoT.
Heavy Manual Tagging: Operators are forced to click through extensive checklists, tool tags, and sign-offs for every step.
Naologic keeps machinists making chips. ProShop turns your highly paid machinists into data-entry clerks.
Automated AI Verification: AI monitors IoT feeds and operational inputs to auto-verify compliance, flagging only anomalies
Mandatory Manual Sign-offs: Strict, rigid QMS that forces human operators to manually check off every compliance box before proceeding.
Naologic gives you AS9100-level security without the friction. ProShop achieves compliance by forcing massive administrative overhead.
Dynamic AI Rerouting: AI dynamically recalculates the "next best job" based on live machine status and priority shifts.
Granular Manual Scheduling: Highly detailed scheduling module that requires constant manual babysitting when priorities inevitably change.
Naologic handles shop floor chaos automatically. ProShop requires a dedicated scheduler to constantly untangle the board.
One-Tap Multi-Splits: Bad batches are instantly split (rework, regrind, scrap) with a single tap, updating inventory instantly.
Rigid NCR Workflows: Requires opening strict Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and following a multi-step digital paper trail.
Naologic handles errors frictionlessly to keep lines moving. ProShop creates an administrative bottleneck for every rejected part.
Data Accessibility & Quoting
Zero-Click AI Conversion: Upload specs/CAD; AI instantly predicts routing steps, tool requirements, and calculates pricing.
Granular Manual Buildup: Estimators must manually build out incredibly detailed routings, tool lists, and times for every single quote.
Naologic slashes quoting time by 90%, increasing win rates. ProShop bogs estimators down in tedious, speculative data entry.
Natural Language "Ask Your ERP": Type "Chart spindle uptime vs. scrap rates," and instantly receive actionable visual reports.
Pre-Built Static Queries: Users must navigate specific query pages and filter through dense data tables to find answers.
Naologic democratizes data, giving leaders instant answers. ProShop buries critical insights beneath mountains of raw data.
Live Throughput Tracking: Margins update continuously while the job is running, allowing AI to suggest mid-run corrections.
Historical Job Autopsy: Highly accurate, but retrospective. You analyze the granular data after the job has already shipped.
Naologic actively protects your profits mid-production. ProShop gives you a highly detailed autopsy of lost money.
ProShop shortcomings
Frustrations we hear from customers who migrated from ProShop to Naologic
Rigid Workflows
ProShop is completely unapologetic about forcing shops to adopt the "ProShop Way." If your shop’s operational flow doesn't perfectly match their pre-built philosophy, you will constantly fight the software just to get jobs out the door.
Overwhelming "Web 1.0" UI
Users constantly complain about ProShop's interface, which resembles a crowded Wikipedia page from 2005. The screens are overloaded with hundreds of tiny, color-coded hyperlinks, causing extreme visual fatigue and making navigation highly unintuitive for new operators.
Exhausting Checklist Fatigue
Because ProShop is built to be a hyper-detailed QMS, it requires operators to manually click through an exhausting number of fields, tags, and inspection reports. If one box is left unchecked, the system creates a hard stop, bottlenecking production over administrative details.
Closed Customization
ou cannot easily change how ProShop fundamentally works. Customizing forms, omitting required fields, or integrating modern outside tools requires clunky workarounds, whereas modern shops need the ability to iterate their software instantly as they scale.
