04. Perseverance and Transformation with Kurt Boquet at Kajan Perfection
04. Perseverance and Transformation with Kurt Boquet at Kajan Perfection After getting fed up with the lack of getting good data from their 3rd ERP system, Kurt discovered ProShop ERP and decided that it was the system for them. Once they overcame the fears of change and objections from some of their more senior employees, they ditched the paper and never looked back. They now feature ProShop on their building sign, business cards, and company advertisements. Amazing!! Kurt also shares their innovative solution for recruiting new employees and may other valuable insights in this episode.  Enjoy!About Kajan Perfection:Kajan Perfection has been in business since 1980, first starting out as a small job shop—repair shop. We are a quality oriented, family owned and operated business keenly aware of the importance of quality parts and on time deliveries. Since our founding we have grown into a quick turnaround, small quantity prototype facility with experience in most stainless, titanium, nickel alloys including Nitronic and HyMu, and many other exotic materials as well as the standard 4140/4130 and mild steel grades. We are also experienced in machining aluminum and many types of plastics. Throughout the years we have had the opportunity to build and perfect the manufacturing process for parts such as gage carriers, setting tools, various types of manifolds, flow control equipment, housings, landing nipples, flanged parts, crossover subs, and test and separation equipment. From the simplest boat anchor to the most complicated flow control devices to immaculately machined acrylic show pieces, we have over 300 years of combined experience here at Kajan Perfection and we have never turned down the challenge of a complicated part.Follow Kurt and Kajan Perfection on Social Media:Kurt's LI: /kurt-boquetCompany LI: /kajan-perfection-incWebsite: www.kperfection.comFB: @9920KPI

03. From Investment Banker to Making Space Parts with Matt Lindsay from Autopilot
03. From Investment Banker to Making Space Parts with Matt Lindsay from AutopilotMatt Lindsay was an investment banker, spending lots of time in airports and different cities.  He was also an avid fly-fisherman. When he saw an article about a local fly fishing reel manufacturing company and decided to ask the company for a tour to see how the reels were made, that sparked a conversation about him buying into the business.  The existing owner, an excellent machinist and engineer, who wanted to grow the business but didn’t have the business skills, was looking for a partner to help grow the company.  Matt joined in 2018 and got bitten by the manufacturing bug.  After running the business on paper forms and spreadsheets for several years, he learned about ProShop and realized there was a better way.  Four years later, they’ve doubled in size, gotten AS9100 certified, and could not imagine living without ProShop today. It feels great to be able to support a company like Autopilot.  Enjoy this episode!About Autopilot:Our vision at Autopilot is to be a world class design and manufacturing company headquartered in Bozeman, Montana. From Fortune 100 companies to small innovation groups, we approach every project as a challenge that has a best-path and a best-result.
