One system for quotes, programmes, fixtures, milling operations and inspection.
Manage milling enquiries, quotations, part and operation masters, programme revisions, fixtures, plate stock, machine schedules, inspection reports and deliveries in one system. Each operation carries the programme that was proved out, the fixture it needs and the offsets it runs on. A tablet at the cell lets setters and inspectors record work as it happens, so the office reads progress from a desk.
- Part and operation masters entered the way your shop routes them
- Programme records, fixture list and open work orders migrated
- Inspection sheets and operation steps adjusted by GullySystem staff when asked
Shops that mill brackets, housings and plates from block and sheet run quotations, operations, fixtures and deliveries in one system from GullySystem. Every operation holds its programme revision, vise or fixture, work offsets and inspection result. Plate stock is traced by grade and certificate, and parts sent for anodising are followed until they return.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Enquiry and model review
A model file and drawing arrive from the buyer. The estimator notes stock size, tolerances, number of setups and any surface finish.
- 2
Quote
Stock, programming time, setup count, machine time and outside finish are priced from your rates. Revisions are kept until the order is placed or lost.
- 3
Programme and fixture
The programmer attaches the toolpath record and picks or designs a fixture. Both are tied to the operation and shown to the setter.
- 4
First part and approval
The setter proves the offsets on a first part. The inspector records the measured dimensions against the drawing, and the batch is released on approval.
- 5
Batch and outside finish
Operators book parts made and rejected for each operation. Deburred parts leave for anodising or black oxide on a delivery note.
- 6
Report and delivery
The inspection report is printed with the packing list, the delivery note goes out, and the invoice follows under your tax rules.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Estimate/Quotation Management
Each quote is priced from stock, setup count, programming hours, machine time and finish, and its revisions remain visible until the order closes.
- Product Management
A part is defined once with its ordered operations, and every job and quote reads the same routing.
- Document Management
Programme records and linked files carry a revision and approver, so the operation points at the toolpath that was actually proved out.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Plate lots keep their mill certificate through cutting and offcut return, so a delivered lot names the stock it came from.
- Work Order Management
Operations are sequenced on each mill, and pieces made and rejected are booked against the work order as the shift runs.
- Quality Control
Dimensions, instruments and sample sizes are set per part, readings are stored, and the report printed for the buyer comes from them.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Cutters and inserts are counted by size and coating, with a reorder level that warns before a running job runs short.
- Job Work Management
Lots sent for anodising or heat treatment leave on a delivery note and return against it, with rejected quantities recorded by vendor.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For the programming desk
Attach proved programmes to operations, release revisions and retire old files without a hunt through folders.
For setters and machine operators
See the fixture, offsets and programme for the operation on the tablet, then book pieces made and rejected.
For inspectors
Record first-part and lot readings against each dimension, and issue the report the buyer expects.
For estimators and the front office
Quote from stock, setups and programming hours, then follow the order through to invoice.
For owners
Read machine loading, quotes against actual hours and parts waiting outside from one screen.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Operations by machine, with pieces made and balance
- Programming hours and setup count against the quote
- Programme revisions in use, by part
- Fixtures by part and shelf location
- Plate and block stock by grade, with certificate status
- Inspection results by lot and dimension
- Parts out for anodising or heat treatment, by vendor
Who this is built for.
- Job shops that mill brackets, housings and plates for many buyers
- Prototype and low-volume shops with a high mix of one-off parts
- Shops serving robotics, instrumentation and packaging machine builders
- Cells that run two or three operations per part on different fixtures
- Shops that need an inspection report with every delivered lot
When it is not the right choice.
- A shop with one mill and a few regular parts can track programmes in a folder.
- Shops dominated by five-axis work or die and mould making will find the five-axis or tool room products closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Does the system generate toolpaths?
No. Toolpaths come from your CAM package. The system records which programme and revision belongs to each operation and who approved it.
Can a part be tracked across several operations?
Yes. Each operation is booked complete before the next opens, so a part cannot reach operation two without the first. The status shows in one list.
How are fixtures tied to parts?
A fixture record lists the parts it holds, the offsets it expects and where it is shelved. The operation screen shows it to the setter.
Can quotes include programming hours?
Yes. Programming time is a line in the quote, and the actual hours are logged on the job, so the next similar part is priced from evidence.
Is material traceable by plate?
Yes. Plate is received with its certificate and lot, and offcuts keep the same lot when they return. A delivered lot names the stock it came from.
Can we print inspection reports for buyers?
Yes. The report lists each dimension, the reading and the instrument. Your inspector shapes the layout until it matches the format a buyer asks for.
What data do we need to start?
A part list with operations, your fixture list, current stock and open orders. These are loaded from sheets and checked by your office before go-live.
How is the proposal priced?
Mills, logins and the volume of part history decide the scope. We load a few of your brackets and housings and show them working before writing any proposal.
