SMG ERP — Privacy Policy
Satisfaction Machine Group LLC · Last updated 28 August 2026
SMG ERP is private software written for and used solely by Satisfaction Machine Group LLC, a precision machine shop in Garner, North Carolina. It is not offered, sold, or made available to anyone else.
What information it handles
SMG ERP records Satisfaction Machine Group's own business information: its jobs, parts, materials, suppliers, customers, quality records and invoices. Customer information is limited to what is needed to quote, manufacture and invoice an order — company name, business contact details, purchase order numbers and shipping addresses.
Where that information is kept
All of it is stored in a single database file on computers owned and controlled by Satisfaction Machine Group. There is no cloud service, no hosted account and no third-party analytics.
QuickBooks Online
With the owner's authorisation, SMG ERP connects to Satisfaction Machine Group's own QuickBooks Online company in order to create invoices. It reads and writes only that company's data, only when instructed, and only for Satisfaction Machine Group's own bookkeeping. Access can be revoked at any time from within QuickBooks.
What is never done
Information is never sold, rented or traded.
Information is never shared for advertising or marketing.
No information is shared with any party other than Intuit for the invoicing described above.
Retention
Business and quality records are retained for ten years, in line with Satisfaction Machine Group's AS9100D document control procedure.
