The shops that run the machines and serve the customers you care about.
A Swiss-turning shop cranking out millions of parts and a five-axis job shop doing aerospace prototypes don't buy the same tooling or the same software. Tell the agent the area, the size and the process: it searches public sources, professional databases, job postings and each shop's website, and removes the duplicates.

238 shops with more than 10 employees, 64 of them Swiss-turning shops.
An area
A state, a manufacturing corridor or a radius around your branch: the agent covers the whole area and hands you one list, with no duplicates.
A size
A headcount measured in professional databases, 10 to 100 employees for example, to leave out the one-person garage shops.
A process
Swiss turning, CNC turning, five-axis milling, grinding, EDM: the agent reads each shop's website and notes what it actually does.
Customers
Aerospace, medical, automotive, defense: the agent notes the markets served and the certifications shown, like AS9100 or ISO 13485.
The owner, the shop manager and the machine list.
At a machine shop, the owner decides on new machines and big contracts, often between two setups, and the shop manager picks the tooling and the methods. The agent fills in the columns your campaign needs, row by row: one, the other, and what the website shows about the machines and processes. Every email is verified before it's added.

- Looking for cell phones
231 owners found, 198 verified emails, 91 cell phones.
The owner
Their name, with a verified email and a cell when there is one: at a twenty-person shop, the owner is usually the one who signs for a machine.
The shop manager
Shop manager, production manager or manufacturing engineer: the agent looks the person up by job title in professional databases.
The machine list
Many shops publish their equipment: CNC count, lathes, five-axis centers. The agent writes it down, or notes “Not found” when it isn't there.
Materials and volumes
Stainless, titanium, aluminum, engineering plastics, prototypes or high volume: read from the website, so you talk about the work they do.
Automations that tell you which shop is investing or short on hands.
Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps going without you. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list: a machinist posting, a role that won't fill, a new machine on the floor, a certification newly shown. Those are your signals, and they show up on their own.

Hiring machinists
Every morning, an automation flags the shops on the list that post a CNC machinist, setup tech or programmer opening, with a “Hiring” badge.
Roles that won't fill
A setup posting up for more than 30 days means a shop running one machine short. Those shops move to the top of the list on their own.
New equipment
Every week, the agent rereads each shop's website and news and flags the ones announcing a new machine or more floor space.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like a newly shown AS9100 or ISO 13485 certification: the agent reruns it and tells you what changed.
A campaign that speaks chips and coolant.
In the morning, a shop owner is often at a machine, proving out a first article, and won't pick up. The campaign writes and calls in the late morning and early afternoon, from your own mailbox and your browser, and stops as soon as someone replies.
Subject The machines at machine_shop
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Outside of setups
Emails and calls go out Tuesday to Thursday, late morning or early afternoon, once the jobs are running without the owner.
Calls from the browser
You call from your browser. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized right in the list, next to the shop it belongs to.
Tailored messages
Every email is built from the list's columns, and an agent step rereads the shop's machines, materials and markets to write the follow-up.
Stops on reply
As soon as an owner or a shop manager replies, the campaign stops for them. You take it from there, and the next follow-up never goes out.
Frequently asked questions
Write “machine shops in Connecticut with more than 10 employees”. The agent searches public sources, measures headcount in professional databases, reads each shop's website to note its process, and removes duplicates. You get the list with each shop's city, headcount, process and website in a few minutes.
Ask the agent to read each shop's website: many publish their equipment list, the number of CNC machines, lathes, five-axis centers, sometimes bar capacity or travel. When it isn't there, the cell says “Not found” and you still have the headcount and the processes.
Tell the agent once: “every morning, flag the shops on my list that post a CNC machinist or setup opening”. The automation runs on its own, and the shops that just posted land at the top of your list with a “Hiring” badge, the role and the city.
An email in the early afternoon, a call two days later, an agent step that rereads the shop's machines and materials, then a follow-up in the same thread. Nothing goes out while setups are running in the morning. Emails leave from your own mailbox, calls from your browser are recorded, transcribed and summarized, and the sequence stops as soon as someone replies.
For 240 shops with their website and machine list read, 200 verified owner emails, 150 shop managers and about 90 cell phones, count around €60 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges €1,200 to €2,000 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
Yes, based on what shops show on their website: the agent reads each one and notes the certification when it's there. It doesn't check the registrars' databases, so a shop that doesn't show it comes out as “Not found”, which doesn't mean it isn't certified.
