Some shops grow fast. But very few grow fast and stay in control. Prosper-Tech is doing both, and doing it with intention.

In just two years, Andrew and Gabby Devroy have helped transform the company Andrew's parents built in a garage into a 30-person aerospace and medical machining powerhouse, all while raising three kids and navigating the complexities of a second-generation business. Their approach isn't about chasing work, it's about choosing the right work, building systems that scale, and creating a culture where data drives decisions instead of putting out fires.

When they joined Prosper-Tech, the team was running AS9100 audits and daily operations off clipboards. There was tribal knowledge everywhere, no visibility into upcoming sales, and no clear way to plan capacity. The business needed more than "working harder", it needed a backbone. Implementing ProShop became the catalyst that shifted everything: transparent workflows, cleaner scheduling, predictable margins, empowered machinists, and a level of trust with customers that translated into real growth.

In this episode, Andrew and Gabby share how they balanced succession planning with rapid expansion, how they chose the markets they wanted to dominate, why they embraced batch production, and why the tooling module became one of their biggest early wins.

They also reveal how real-time data has helped double margins, smooth out cash cycles, and make strategic equipment decisions, including the moment one machine type changed everything. This is a story about scaling thoughtfully, leading intentionally, and building a shop that's ready for the next decade, not just the next order.
