Tulsa, Oklahoma
Manufacturing software in Tulsa.
Custom systems for Tulsa aerospace, energy and fabrication shops. 250 plus aerospace businesses and 46,233 people. Free thirty minute walkthrough.
The work
Four things we built. Different industries, same engineer.
Each one started as a problem somebody said out loud. All four are live: press the button and use the real tool.
Recommissioning a gas plant from twenty-year-old drawings.
The client bought a plant that had been shut down for years. 646 tags, thirteen questions each, before a single part could be bought. We built the system that answers them, tag by tag.
A 60-person fab shop, up for sale, and nothing written down.
The buyers loved the business and could not see how it ran. We interviewed 22 people, pulled out everything they knew, and built the whole operation into one package: flows, procedures, safety, ISO, maintenance, a legacy library. The deal closed.
A supply business that runs itself.
A teeth whitening supplier that sells to salons. One console reads the mail, chases the leads, counts the stock and writes the letters. The owner clicks only to send and to pay.
An end to end water delivery business, run from the truck.
One truck, 150 doors a week. The app asks every customer, builds the run, sends the invoice and takes the payment. The owner drives.
The money
28.5 hours a week. That is $976.
We mapped a 90 person fabrication shop. 28.5 hours every week went into work nobody sells. Re-typing a shipping slip into an invoice. Re-typing a quote into a job. Rebuilding the whiteboard schedule (the payback chart on pragmabuild.com/how-it-works).
What that costs in this metro, every week, in the quiet.
- $34.26an hour, median. A production supervisor in the Tulsa metro area. US dollars.
- $976a week. 28.5 hours times $34.26.
- $50,752a year. $976 a week times 52.
Fifty thousand dollars a year is a machinist you did not hire.
That was one 90 person shop. We measure yours instead of borrowing theirs.
Your town
Yes, this is your town
Tulsa’s aerospace sector employs 46,233 people across more than 250 businesses, with 120,000 in aerospace and defence across Oklahoma and 700 plus acres of shovel-ready land at Tulsa International (PartnerTulsa, read 2 Oct 2026).
Then there is the energy side, and the two overlap in the same shops: machining, fabrication, pressure equipment, and the part that has to be right the first time because of where it is going.
Two hundred and fifty businesses in one sector means your people can leave for the shop down the road. What they carry in their heads should not leave with them.
The work
What we build
Aerospace and energy use the same shops here, and both ask for the same proof: that it was made right and you can show it.
Proof that lives on the part.
Inspection, non conformance, corrective action and certificates, tied to the part, the job and the operator, so an audit is an afternoon.
What he knows, before the shop down the road hires him.
The setup is not in the manual. It is in the man who has run that machine for twenty two years, and we write it down in his words while he is here.
Costing while the job is still open.
Job status, labour and material capture and stage sign off, with actual sitting beside quoted.
The promise date, attached to the job it is holding.
Requisition to purchase order to receipt in one line, so a pressure part on back order is visible long before it stops the build.
You keep the system you already run. We build the parts it never covered.
Money toward it
We will not dangle a grant in front of you
We are not going to dangle a grant in front of you. We do not broker them and we take nothing off them.
Oklahoma’s centre in the federal NIST MEP network is the Oklahoma Manufacturing Alliance, which works with small and mid sized manufacturers across this state (NIST centre list, read 2 Oct 2026; Oklahoma Manufacturing Alliance).
Plan on your own money. The map exists so that choice is made on numbers: every item priced, stacked so the first one earns the second.
What we hear
What usually stops people
“Our best man retires in two years.”
Then you have two years to get what is in his head onto something a person can read. That is a job with a date on it and most shops start it too late.
“Aerospace paperwork eats a day a week.”
The check happens on a device at the station, tied to the part, the job and the operator, with photographs. It comes back in seconds.
“We tried a system and the floor would not use it.”
Then it was built around a template. Your process does not get bent to fit software.
“You are in Canada.”
Two hours behind you, and most jobs run remote on a screen share and a phone camera in your operator’s hand. When the job needs boots on the floor, we get on a plane.

Free. Thirty minutes. A written map of the shop, every process priced, ordered by what pays back first. It is yours to keep, whatever you decide.
Straight answers
- You are in Canada. Does that matter?
- No. We are in Kelowna, British Columbia, two hours behind Tulsa. Most work is remote and we fly when the job needs it.
- We are an aerospace supplier. Does that fit?
- Yes. Certificates, traceability and sign off tied to the part and the operator are the normal case here.
- How long does a build take?
- Hours to days, depending on scope. You see working pieces every week. There is no reveal at the end.
- Who owns it?
- We keep the code. You keep your data and your freedom to leave. Export everything any time, no fee, and a thirty day exit with no penalty.
