We helped JTR Specialties win larger contracts with a rebrand, a website documenting their capabilities, and a custom job-costing app.

JTR machines tight-tolerance parts for aerospace and had no website, which kept them out of the vendor vetting larger contracts require, and every quote was assembled by hand with margin estimated job by job. We rebuilt the brand, documented the shop and its equipment on a new site, and built a job-costing app that prices each job against the shop’s real numbers.

Putting the shop on record for vendor vetting

Larger aerospace contracts go to vendors the buyer can check out first. They want the capabilities listed, the equipment documented, and a brand that holds up when someone looks at it. Without a site, JTR could not get through that step, so the bigger RFQs went elsewhere. The new site documents what the shop runs and what it can hold, with video of the work rather than stock photography.

Pricing a job before quoting it

Quotes were previously built from scratch each time, with margin estimated rather than calculated. The job-costing app prices each job against the shop’s own numbers, so the margin on a quote is known before it is sent rather than discovered afterwards.
