The Pylvos job board: jobs in Queued, In Progress, Outside Processing and Done, with overdue and new-today banners

Built for the three things that cost a shop the most.

Late jobs, missing paperwork, and work that loses money without anyone noticing.

"Is that job late?"

See what's late before the customer calls.

Overdue and due-today jobs are flagged the moment you open Pylvos. Rush jobs stand out, outside processing has its own column, and a job waiting on material shows LATE MATERIAL when its purchase order is past due.

  • Board by status, or a Schedule of every job on one list, most urgent first
  • Who is on each job, which machine, how many are left
  • New jobs added today called out at the top

"Where's the cert for this?"

Paperwork ready at shipping time.

Every job card carries its part print, the material cert and the signed Certificate of Conformance. Fill in the COC on screen and sign it, or print it, sign it and snap a photo with your phone. When a customer asks for it six months later, it's one tap away.

  • Print, Cert and COC slots on every job
  • Upload a PDF or a phone photo
  • Every upload and shipment logged in the job's history
  • Inspection: Pylvos says how many parts to check, and the result fills in the COC

"Did we make money on that?"

Know which jobs make money, and which don't.

Quote from real setup time, cycle time and material, then turn the winners into jobs in one click. As material is bought and hours are logged, Pylvos shows the margin on every job, worst first.

  • Quotes with a live labor estimate and margin
  • Material cost from your purchase orders, labor from logged hours
  • Quote win rate, backlog and on-time rate on one dashboard

Built in a real machine shop

Built in a working machine shop, and still run there every day.

Pylvos started as the in-house system at a small precision machine shop in eastern Pennsylvania. Jobs got lost in spreadsheets, prints were buried in folders, and nobody could see what was running without walking out to the machines.

That shop still runs on it. Every feature is something it needed first.

What that means for you

  • No server needed: installs on any Windows PC or laptop in about a minute
  • Phones and tablets open it on your Wi-Fi, with no apps to install
  • Your job data stays on your own hardware
  • Tested with ten years of a busy shop's jobs and with 20 people using it at once
  • Made for job shops: travelers, certs, COCs, lot inspection, outside processing
  • Updates included, installed from Settings with one click
Your data, your building

Your customers' prints stay in your shop.

Drawings, material certs and customer details are kept on your shop PC, not on our servers or anyone's cloud. We never see them, so there's nothing on our side to leak, sell or hand over.

Keeping that PC safe is up to you, and Pylvos helps: it shows whether Windows drive encryption (BitLocker) is on, and backs itself up every night to a USB drive or OneDrive folder. Work under ITAR or other export rules? Talk to us first.

How your data is stored and protected →

Stored on your PC

Prints, certs, COCs, quotes and customer contacts live on the PC at your shop.

We never receive them

Pylvos sends us a once-a-day license check, nothing more. Remote access passes through our relay encrypted, so we can't read it.

Only your people

Everyone signs in with their own account. Workers see only what they need, and you choose who can open it from outside.

Nightly backups, locked with your password

Pylvos backs itself up every night to a USB drive or OneDrive folder. A backup file is useless to anyone without your password.

Everything else your shop needs.

One system instead of a whiteboard, a spreadsheet and a folder of prints.

Parts library Free

Part numbers, stock on hand and the print for each part. Import a whole folder of prints, or your parts list from a spreadsheet.

Phones and tablets Free

Type pylvos.local or scan a QR code on your Wi-Fi. Nothing to install.

Job history Free

Who moved a job, when, and what changed. Comments live on the job, not in texts.

Backups Free

Automatic every night to a USB drive or OneDrive folder, prints and certs included, locked with your password.

Quotes Standard

Auto-numbered, priced from labor and material, printed with your terms.

Purchase orders Standard

Tied to jobs, printed for your supplier, with on-time delivery tracking.

Customers Standard

Open jobs, on-time rate, win rate and sales for every customer on one screen.

QuickBooks export Standard

Turn shipments into a QuickBooks Online invoice import file.

Questions shop owners ask.

Where does my data live?

On a Windows PC in your shop. Pylvos runs there as a background service, and your jobs, parts, prints and certs are stored on that PC, not on our servers. All we receive is a once-a-day license check. If you turn on remote access, your pages pass through our relay encrypted, so we can't read them. See how your data is stored and protected.

Do I need a server?

No. Pylvos runs on any Windows 10 or 11 PC or laptop you already have, even the office computer, alongside everything else on it. It's light: about 100 MB to install, and in our tests with 20 people using it at once it needed about as much memory as a browser tab or two and hardly any processor. Storage is only limited by the PC's own drive: thousands of jobs take a few megabytes, and prints, certs and photos take whatever the files themselves take. The one thing it needs is to stay on and at the shop during working hours (a laptop is fine if it stays there, plugged in). If it's ever off, nothing is lost, and everyone's back in as soon as it's on again.

How many people can use it?

As many as your shop has. Free covers up to 3 people; Standard has no limit and no per-person price. In our tests, 20 people using it at once needed about as much memory as a browser tab or two, and with ten years of a busy shop's jobs (about 30,000) the board and lists still opened in under half a second.

What happens when the internet goes down?

The shop keeps working. Pylvos runs on your own network, so the board, prints and certs are all still there, and the license check catches up when the connection is back. Only after two weeks without internet do Standard's extra features pause, until it reconnects.

How long does setup take?

A few minutes. The installer takes about a minute on any Windows PC on your network; then enter your key, name your shop and add your people. Then anyone on your Wi-Fi opens pylvos.local in a browser.

Do I need an IT person?

No. If you can install a program on Windows, you can install Pylvos. There's no server to configure and no router settings to change.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes, from the self-serve billing portal, with no contract. Your data stays on your PC and nothing is deleted; Pylvos simply drops back to the Free plan. See pricing for details.
