Machestra
Simple production scheduling for small machine shops
One place for your machines, people, materials, and schedules. Replace spreadsheets and whiteboards in 10 minutes. Free for 3 machines. No per-user fees. Starts at $19/mo.
Hello Product Hunt, Charles here, solo founder of Machestra.
I built this after watching small shops run their whole floor on a whiteboard and three spreadsheets that never agree with each other. Machines on one, jobs on another, materials in someone's head. When a job slips, nobody finds out until it's late.
Machestra does four things and nothing else: machines, people, materials, schedules. No CRM, no accounting, no quoting module you'll never open. You can get set up in about 10 minutes.
Pricing is per machine, not per user, so you can put your whole team on it without the bill exploding. Free for 3 machines, no card, no time limit.
If you run a shop or know someone who does, I'd genuinely love the feedback. What's the one thing your current setup gets wrong?
How does the free tier actually hold up in practice if I want to add more than three machines down the line — is there a hard cap or does it just start billing per extra machine?
