Product updates that matter in a real laser shop

Follow the product as Laser Job Manager gets better at handling jobs, customers, supplies, recipes, quoting, and day-to-day shop operations.

The current direction is practical: make repeat work easier to organize, price, track, and complete. That means tighter job workflows, clearer supply tracking, better repeatability, and more confidence in quoting and profit.
