07. Reigniting Passion for Business with Heather Charlton from Free Force Machining Technology Heather Charlton is co-owner of Free Force Machining Technology Inc. in Ontario Canada. Free Force is a 100% Swiss CNC machining business that serves many industries with its AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications. Heather and her husband Steve started the business in 2007 during the height of the financial crisis, with a new toddler, and she was pregnant with their second child! Talk about a bold move! Seventeen years later they have a thriving business with 13 CNC Swiss machines. Formerly on E2 Shoptech, Heather decided she needed an upgrade to their ERP and ProShop has been live on the shop floor since early 2022.  It’s made a huge difference to all aspects of the shop, and has reignited Heather’s passion for the business.  In fact, she said that without adopting ProShop, she may have decided to leave the business as it was such a challenge to run the business on E2.
