Who TheEngineersDesk is
We build software for shops that build real things — internal tools, automation, and integrations that sit next to the scan arm, the weld cell, the traveler, and the fixture book.
Light aviation-industrial craft heritage informs how we talk about CAD, BOM, cells, and constraints. What we sell is software only: scoped packages, clear handoff, no shelfware.
Software-only offer ladder
Three packages. Starting at — final quote after scope. Product thin-slice: Shop Status Board.
Sprint
$2,500 · 1–2 weeks. Plan + thin slice or prototype, then a clear build quote.
Build
$8,000 · Scoped delivery: web app, automation, or integration — agreed scope to working result.
Retainer
$3,000/mo · Ongoing features, fixes, scripts, and integrations with reserved capacity.
Product: Shop Status Board
Hosted traveler / job status for the floor — who’s working what, what’s blocked, what’s ready. $199 / $399 / $2,990 on the pricing page. Live demo: demo.theengineersdesk.com.
How a Sprint works
- Kickoff & scope. Lock the problem, constraints, and success criteria in plain language.
- Plan + thin slice. Written plan and a clickable prototype or working thin slice for the floor.
- Build quote. Clear next-step quote for Build or Retainer — or a polite no-fit.
Who we help
- Engineering managers who need a calculator, workflow app, or system bridge — not a generic IT project
- Shop and plant teams stuck in spreadsheet-driven processes around cells, travelers, and inspections
- Product and MRO teams that need a thin-slice MVP or automation around existing CAD/ERP tools
