ProShop API
ProShop is a 100% paperless, web-based ERP/MES/QMS platform built for manufacturing machine shops, combining quoting, work orders, scheduling, purchasing, inventory, and quality into one integrated system. An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull parts, work orders, job costs, purchase orders, inventory, and inspection records—and push updates like new quotes, jobs, and POs back into ProShop.
What is ProShop?
ProShop is a 100% paperless, fully web-based ERP, MES, and QMS platform purpose-built for small-to-medium manufacturing machine shops. Shops use ProShop to manage the full job lifecycle—quoting and estimating, parts and routings, work orders, real-time scheduling, purchasing, inventory, equipment and tooling, and integrated quality management—across more than 30 connected modules, accessed entirely through a browser with no desktop installs. It is also widely used to support ISO, AS9100, and CMMC compliance for shops serving aerospace, defense, and other regulated industries.
Core product areas include:
- Parts module — single source of truth for part specs, routings, drawings, and work instructions
- Work Orders — current and past job details with full cross-department visibility
- Estimating & quoting, BOMs, and work plans integrated directly into job workflows
- Real-time scheduling, job costing, purchasing, and inventory
- Integrated QMS capturing inspection data as work happens for traceability and audits
- Equipment, tooling, fixtures, COTS, RTAS, messaging, and dashboards
Common data entities:
- Parts, Routings, Drawings, Work Instructions
- Work Orders, Jobs, Operations, Time Tracking
- Quotes, Estimates, BOMs
- Purchase Orders, Vendors, Receiving
- Inventory, Lots, Materials, COTS
- Inspections, Quality Records, Non-Conformances, Job Costs
- Equipment, Tooling, Fixtures, Customers
The ProShop Integration Challenge
Machine shops run mission-critical operations on ProShop daily, but turning its browser-driven, deeply integrated workflows into API-driven automation is non-trivial:
- No public developer API: ProShop is web-based with no documented, general-purpose REST API for third-party developers to build against
- Deployment variability: Shops run cloud-hosted or on-premise instances, each with different network access and URL patterns
- Tightly coupled modules: Parts, work orders, quality, and job costing share state, so reads and writes must respect cross-module dependencies and routings
- Point integrations only: Out-of-the-box connections target specific tools like QuickBooks, Sage, Paperless Parts, and Datanomix—not arbitrary systems
- Session-based access: Data lives behind authenticated browser sessions rather than token-based API endpoints
- Compliance sensitivity: Shops running CMMC, ISO, and AS9100 workflows require careful, audit-friendly access to quality and traceability records
How Supergood Creates ProShop APIs
Supergood reverse-engineers ProShop's authenticated browser flows to deliver a resilient, token-accessible API layer for your ProShop instance—whether it's cloud-hosted or on-premise.
- Handles username/password and MFA login securely in a managed session
- Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection
- Normalizes responses across Parts, Work Orders, Purchasing, Inventory, and Quality so you integrate once against consistent objects
- Respects cross-module dependencies and your shop's routings, custom fields, and compliance records

API Endpoints
Authentication
/authenticateAuthenticate to a ProShop instance using username/password (and MFA where enabled) and obtain a session token for downstream calls.
Parts
/partsList parts with their specs, routings, drawings, and work instructions, filtered by customer, status, or revision.
Work Orders
/work_ordersRetrieve work orders and jobs with operations, schedule status, and cross-department progress.
Work Orders
/create_work_orderCreate a new work order or job against an existing part and routing.
Purchasing
/purchase_ordersPull purchase orders, vendors, and receiving records across open and closed POs.
Inventory
/inventoryQuery on-hand inventory, lots, and materials with quantity and location detail.
Use Cases
Sync job and part data into a central warehouse
- Pull parts, routings, and work instructions into a single source of truth for analytics - Stream work order status and operation progress to BI and dashboards - Reconcile job-cost actuals against quotes and estimates
Automate purchasing and inventory workflows
- Pull purchase orders, vendors, and receiving records into procurement tools - Trigger material reorders when inventory and lot quantities cross thresholds - Sync vendor and material data with external ERP and accounting systems
Surface quality and compliance records
- Extract inspection data, non-conformances, and traceability records for audits - Feed CMMC, ISO, and AS9100 evidence into compliance reporting tools - Alert on failed inspections and open quality actions in real time
Streamline quoting and estimating
- Push new quotes and estimates into ProShop from CRM or sales tools - Pull BOMs and work plans for downstream pricing and capacity planning - Route accepted quotes into work orders without manual re-entry

Frequently asked questions
ProShop does not publish a general-purpose developer API. It offers specific point integrations (such as QuickBooks, Sage, Paperless Parts, and Datanomix), so Supergood builds a resilient API layer over your authenticated ProShop sessions to give you programmatic access to the data you need.
Yes. Supergood adapts to either deployment model. For cloud-hosted instances we work against your tenant; for on-premise setups we operate against the same authenticated surfaces with network configuration tuned to your environment.
Yes. Inspection data, non-conformances, and traceability records from ProShop's integrated QMS are exposed through the normalized API, with audit logging to support CMMC, ISO, and AS9100 workflows.
Yes. Beyond reads, the API supports writes such as creating quotes, work orders, and purchase orders, while respecting ProShop's cross-module dependencies and your shop's routings.
Supergood normalizes data across modules like Parts, Work Orders, Purchasing, Inventory, and Quality so you integrate once against consistent objects rather than reconciling each module separately.
