Gallatin Automation · Belgrade, Montana

Belgrade runs on shops and trades. We build the software they're missing.

Jackrabbit Lane is machine shops, fab shops, builders and the people who supply them. Most of them quote, invoice and schedule the same way they did in 2010, because nobody local has offered anything better. We're ten minutes away and we have.

What we see in Belgrade

  • Quotes that wait on the owner because he's the only one who knows the pricing.
  • POs and invoices typed from a PDF into QuickBooks, then again into a job list.
  • Estimates done at the kitchen table on Sunday.
  • Tenants, guests and customers who email the same four questions all week.

Each of those is a few hours a week. Across a year it's an employee you're paying for and not getting.

What we build

Small, specific software that takes one of those jobs off your desk, connected to what you already use. A quoting system that reads the part file. Paperwork that enters itself. A follow-up that goes out on its own. Here's what it looks like for a machine shop.

Proof close by

Lone Peak Precision in Bozeman sent 40 quotes in one day with nobody typing, from a system Gabe built. Ben ran a Vision Aerial factory's inventory on a system he wrote himself; turns doubled and stock on hand dropped about 30%.

What it costs

An audit starts at $1,500: we come to the shop, count where the hours go, and hand you a plan with a price. Credited toward the build if you go ahead within 30 days. Builds are priced per job and should pay for themselves in about six months.

We cover Belgrade, Four Corners, Manhattan, Churchill and Three Forks from Bozeman.

Questions we get

Do you come to Belgrade or do we come to you?

We come to you. The audit happens in your office, because that's where the hours are hiding.

We're a five-person shop. Too small?

No. Five-person shops lose the most time per person to the desk. The first thing we build is usually the thing the owner does at night.

Twenty minutes. Nothing gets sold.

Audits start at $1,500. You see what the fix costs before you pay for it.
