Aerospace quality, without the complexity
ProShop and Infab both run AS9100 shops. Infab adds document intelligence and a manufacturability check to every quote, in an interface your estimators learn in a day.
Read the drawing, price the part
Infab Assistant reads drawings, models, customer purchase orders, and material certificates, and turns them into quote-ready facts and traceable inventory lots. DFM Check is a deterministic rules engine that scores the model against the machines and tools in your shop, so deep holes, sharp internal corners, sub-tool radii, and parts that will not fit your machines are flagged before you commit to a price. Every change the Assistant drafts waits for a person to approve it.
Cost, margin, and the order that follows
Every quote shows the price you give the customer next to your own internal cost, with margin rated against the thresholds you set. Vary lead time by quantity, price the expedite options, and finalize in one step to a PDF, an accounting estimate, and an email. When the customer accepts, the quote becomes an order with nothing re-keyed.

Where ProShop is strong
ProShop has a mature, deep quality management system and a long document-control heritage. It offers an on-premise deployment option, which Infab does not, and it has a long track record with a large installed base behind it. If your shop needs software you host yourself, or you are buying on the depth of the quality system alone, ProShop deserves a close look next to this page.
Common questions
Does Infab support AS9100 like ProShop?
Yes. The Infab AS9100 package covers the quality manual, procedures and work instructions, non-conformance reports, and corrective action reports, alongside the contract review gate, inspections, Certificate of Conformance generation, and traceable material lots that are part of the base product. The package is a paid add-on at $200 per month. On core AS9100 workflows the two products are close, and ProShop has the longer history.
Can I migrate off ProShop?
Yes. Infab has import tools for data from other quoting and ERP platforms, so parts, accounts, vendors, and order history come across with you. We scope the import with you before you start so you know what moves and what does not.
Is Infab available on-premise?
No. Infab is cloud software. It runs on AWS GovCloud, all stored ITAR data is encrypted there, and every Infab employee is a US person. If your shop requires software you host yourself, ProShop offers an on-premise option and Infab does not.
What can Infab do that ProShop cannot?
We do not speak for ProShop, so check their site for what they offer today. What Infab brings to the quoting desk is document intelligence and a manufacturability check on the same screen. Infab Assistant reads the drawing, the model, the customer purchase order, and the material certificate into quote-ready facts and traceable inventory lots. DFM Check runs a deterministic rules engine over the model and returns a machinable score before you send a price. Both are advisory: a person approves every change before it applies.
