PROJECT_IMATSUKU // COMING SOON

Turn today's idle machine into today's revenue.

Imatsuku connects a machine shop's sudden open capacity with buyers' ready-to-cut drawings — matched in seconds, settled in escrow, cash in hand the same day.

THE_PROBLEM

A machine shop leaks money in three places.

The equipment, the skill, and the demand all exist. Cash still doesn't stay on the shop floor — because the structure leaks.

Idle capacity

A stopped machine still costs money every hour. An empty laser slot is inventory you can't sell.

Wasted quoting

Hours of estimating work disappear into jobs you'll mostly lose. Effort spent, nothing earned.

Payment terms

Thirty to sixty days from delivery to cash. Buyers hold all the leverage.

HOW_IT_WORKS

Signal → Match → Settle. One loop.

SIGNAL01

One message at 5 p.m.

Answer "How's tomorrow?" with one of three taps — Open, Normal, or Full — on the chat app you already use. No schedule entry. No capacity spreadsheets. That's the whole routine.

MATCH02

Drawings reach only the shops that can cut them

AI filters by the equipment on file, so drawings only reach shops that can actually make the part. Each arrives pre-digested — "1 bend, 2× M4 tap." The final call is the craftsman's 20-second judgment, and one tap to accept.

SETTLE03

Escrow settlement — same-day cash if you want it

Funds are held until delivery is confirmed, protecting both sides. And instead of waiting out payment terms, shops can convert the confirmed receivable to cash right away.

VALUE_PROPOSITION

A clear win for each side.

THE_PRODUCT

Built for the shop floor. Zero entry, zero scheduling.

Onboard with a photo

Snap the equipment brochure or paste a URL. AI reads the maker, model, and machining specs. No manual entry.

One bottleneck, nothing else

We don't ask for detailed scheduling — just the single upstream constraint, one signal a day.

Drawings arrive pre-digested

"1 bend, 2× M4 tap." A 20-second judgment call — because the craftsman's mental math beats any scheduling AI.
