Superkind for CNC manufacturing

In CNC manufacturing the office work revolves around jobs, material and dates: scheduling, reordering, documenting, confirming. You hand this work to Superkinds. You describe it once in Slack, Teams or by email, they do it in your tools, and nothing goes out before you approve it.
