1760.

01

Manufacturing software was designed by accountants, not makers.

The dominant ERP paradigm was invented in the 1970s to solve accounting problems. The production side — scheduling, floor tracking, quality, routing — was bolted on later, designed by people who had never stood at a work center waiting for a traveler to print.

The result is software that's simultaneously overcomplicated and under-capable: a thousand menu items, none of which tell you whether your shop is on track today.

02

A colleague is not the same thing as a tool.

Pre-AI software is reactive: you ask it questions, it gives you data. The burden of analysis is entirely yours. A 200-row open WO report tells you nothing without an hour of work.

Warp inverts this. He watches everything — job status, material positions, vendor lead times, machine availability — and surfaces what matters before you think to ask. He is not a tool you interrogate. He is a colleague who has already done the analysis before you walk in the door.

03

Unlimited seats is not a pricing gimmick. It is a design decision.

Per-seat pricing creates a direct financial incentive for software companies to want more users — and for manufacturing companies to restrict access. The result: the operator who needs to log a traveler doesn't have a login. The QC inspector writes on paper because a license costs $80/month. The supervisor uses someone else's account.

We priced SupraLoom flat because we believe every person in a manufacturing company deserves to work in the system, not around it.
