Prepared for Jamison Steel Rule Die, Inc.
by First Alarm Business Solutions
⚙️ Website + Custom Production Software

A sharper website — and software that runs your floor.

Two upgrades for Jamison: a modern site that brings in more die work, and custom production software that tracks every die, station, and hour — built to replace the Paladin board and the paper travelers.

Hey Jamison team 👋

I took a hard look at your new website and built a working prototype of production software made specifically for a steel-rule-die shop like yours. Below you'll find what I'd improve on the site, a full rundown of what the software does, and live demos you can click through (and blow up full screen). This is a preview — if you like the direction, we build it out for real.

The production software

Replace the Paladin board and paper travelers

One system for the whole shop: clock into a die at any station, watch the live schedule, write work orders, print packing slips — all tied to the WO#.

🔎 "Where's that die right now?"

Today: walk the floor or call around to find a job's status.
→ A live, color-coded schedule shows every die, what station it's at, and who's on it — filter by die type, jump to any ship date.

⏱️ Labor & time guesswork

Today: hand-written times on the traveler, added up later.
→ Workers clock into the WO# at each station — time, person, and station are captured automatically.

📄 Paper travelers get lost

Today: the paper work order rides with the die and can go missing.
→ Every work order is digital — specs, BOM, notes, customer info — readable at any station and printable when you need it.

🚚 Hitting ship dates

Today: bottlenecks show up when it's already late.
→ A manager dashboard flags rush jobs, station load, and what's ready to ship — before it becomes a problem.
Built for the whole shop

Your website

A solid start — here's how we make it work harder

The new site is a great foundation. Three ways we turn it from a nice brochure into a lead‑generating hub that's wired into your shop.

↗ Open your live website
🔍

Get found — SEO

  • Rank for the searches that matter — "steel rule die," "rotary cutting dies," plus your cities.
  • Local SEO: business schema + Google Business so you show up in the Nashville / Murfreesboro map results.
  • Launch on your real jamisonsrd.com domain and host the images & video on the site — faster, fully yours, and no ranking split.
  • Add spec & capability pages (die sizes, machine types, turnaround) — more pages for Google to rank, and exactly what buyers search for.
🎯

Turn visitors into quotes

  • Clean, modern look with a rock‑solid mobile experience.
  • A short Request‑a‑Quote form up top — a few fields converts far better than a plain link.
  • Add real customer names / logos (IP, Toyota, GP) to the testimonials for instant trust.
  • Compress the hero video so the homepage loads fast, especially on phones.
The big win
🔗

Connect the website, software & database

  • One shared customer database behind the website and the production software — enter a customer once, use it everywhere.
  • Website quote requests flow straight in and become work orders for Sales — nothing re‑typed.
  • Give customers a login to track their die's status and reorder online — pulling live data from the shop floor.
  • Your website and your shop finally talk to each other — no silos, no double entry.
