E2 Shop Tech and DO.Impact at a glance

An honest side-by-side on the things small manufacturers ask about first. E2 Shop Tech has long shop-floor heritage; the question most teams ask is whether they need job tracking alone or one connected system for the whole business.

	DO.Impact	E2 Shop Tech
Core focus	Connected operating system: strategy, commercial, operations, people	Shop management and job tracking

Best fit	Manufacturers of 10–150 employees wanting one connected system	Shops focused on job tracking and estimating

Connected quoting and contract review

Instead of quoting in one module and checking capacity in another, DO.Impact puts risk, margin and feasibility in front of the signature. The same opportunity feeds SIOP and scheduling without re-entry.

Pipeline, forecast and order book in one demand view
Five-gate contract review before you commit
Margin and capacity warnings at quote time

Live capacity scheduling

DO.Impact sequences orders against the constraint — machine availability, labour and tooling — so the schedule reflects what the plant can actually build, not just what was promised.

Scenario planning before rescheduling

Daily management and OEE in the same system

Run tiered SQDP+ meetings, capture downtime at the machine and build an OEE loss tree without a separate MES. The same data feeds the weekly leadership review and monthly board report.

Frequently asked questions

What is E2 Shop Tech?

E2 Shop Tech is a shop-management and ERP system for job shops and small manufacturers. It covers quoting, scheduling, job tracking and accounting, often as separate modules.

How is DO.Impact different from E2 Shop Tech?

DO.Impact treats strategy, sales, operations and people as one connected loop. A contract risk, capacity constraint or skills gap shows up where it matters instead of living in a siloed module.

Can DO.Impact replace E2 Shop Tech?

For many small manufacturers, DO.Impact replaces the operational core of E2: quoting, scheduling, shop floor tracking, maintenance and skills. Some teams keep E2 for accounting and run DO.Impact for operations.

How fast can we switch?

Most teams open the demo workspace the same day, start a free sandbox within a week, and have their first board or daily meeting running in DO.Impact before any migration begins.

Is there a setup fee?

No setup fee. DO.Impact is a monthly subscription with no implementation project required.
