December 2021

Quick note from Spain – a welcome break to celebrate the last year and get excited for the next one. We have a lot to be grateful for: Thanks to our incredible users and partners – who have pushed and encouraged us at every step – the company has really grown up this year. Not only are we financially sustainable (such a rarity in this industry), but we’ve added important users across major verticals and key features to boot. Check out this summary video to get a sense of it all.

​

As mentioned in the video, in the final release of the year we added a critical feature for our service bureaus: Increased flexibility when quoting. While we do our best to deliver accurate automated quotes with our toolpath integrations and machine learning approaches, corrections often need to be made in process for a number of different reasons. It’s important to capture those not only to issue the correct quote (and properly plan the resulting process steps) but also to allow the system to learn from corrections and update the machine learning algorithms.

Adding these manual workarounds is what makes our work of building aMES so incremental. Before intelligence can really come to the fore, we need to make sure that the manual options exist. Where they don’t, we need our users and partners to guide us. So thank you, once again, for your support in 2021. Without you, we wouldn’t be where we are so we hope we can count on your suggestions, energy, recommendations, references, and custom for many years to come.

​

We hope you enter the year renewed after a restful family break. We’re excited for 2022. We hope you are too.
