Superkind for metal fabrication
In metal fabrication the office work eats into time at the machine: calculating quotes, sorting drawings, creating orders, typing delivery notes. 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.
