Likelihood to Recommend Jobboss2 helps with creating routings, tracking hours towards those, and tracking inventory for discrete orders. It does not work well for blanket orders, consignment, or long-term agreements-type contracts with customers. Raw material tracking is completely ineffective with Jobboss2. Costing is quite ineffective with Joboss2. Production/lot planning & scheduling is ineffective and is a huge limiting factor. All of these items require manual tracking in spreadsheets. Jobboss2 has helped us get away from tracking routings with pen and paper and timesheets with pen and paper... but we're still having to use Excel to track consignment, blanket orders, job planning/when to launch new travelers, and costing/quoting. Going from pen and paper routings to digital has been a huge help overall, but the other limitations are incredibly concerning, which has led us to research & possibly switch

Read full review Workday is well suited for managing employees throughout their full life cycle. It excels at housing employee data from the start of their time with the company through their departure. Workday is less suited to payroll functions, which could be more robust.
Read full review Pros Estimating is great once you learn how to use it, and it makes repeat estimates easier than ever. Time tracking is amazing for us. It has taken some time to figure out exactly how we want to use the tracking parts, but it's only because it has multiple ways to do the same thing and finding out what works best for us took some time. Billing and Purchasing are a breeze. The full package is worth the money to fully integrate the entire business into JobBOSS² since it can handle it all. Read full review The flexibility of going beyond handling the accounts, where we can handle cash, assets, and accounting simultaneously for the customer. The single platform offers grants management where you can organize the lifecycle of the grants and synchronize it with any criteria of grant closing out scheme. I personally liked Project billing with the essence of evaluating project revenue and nice reporting templates that can be shared with the customer at any stage of the project while having the flexibility of auditing the reported cost. Read full review Cons Ability to "click-through" from module to module is somewhat quirky and not always do-able Implementation process and initial learning is very independent, more assistance and direction from ECI would be appreciated. Ability to set Product Code at Order level instead of Estimate level would be quite helpful Ability to add WorkCode at Line Item Specification screen would be very useful Ability to enter material quantities at decimal amounts instead of whole numbers. This is a huge disadvantage of JobBOSS² Read full review Some of the Workday updates last till like 10 in the morning which prevents employees to clock in and check their times and some cases their schedules Workday can work on opening documents quicker instead of taking couple of minutes or notifying the user when they are ready to download Read full review Likelihood to Renew The staff enjoy the use of JobBOSS2. We don't have many complaints or issues with the software that are not solved. Support for the product has been improving and that is important for long term success. The cloud application is continually being developed and updated. New abilities are being added to assist with the customers that have strict requirements things like governance items
Read full review Usability It is extremely easy to learn and use E2 Shop System. It provides everything a manufacturing company might be looking for, starting from entering a new PO to shipping parts. Routers that get created from E2 Shop System also help track parts on the shop floor and is accessible from every where. E2 Shop System also now has an app, which is great when it comes to scanning router steps directly from your phone.
Read full review Workday is easy enough navigate, as long as it is properly set up. With that said, it can be put together in a modular fashion as well, allowing for a very high degree of flexibility in terms of design and process delegation. Finally, it makes consolidation achievable in times previously unthinkable.

Read full review Support Rating The initial training leaves a little to be desired because it's done by people who know the generalities of the system. However, once you get into one-on-one trainings and tech support calls, they do a tremendous job in these aspects. They go above and beyond to make sure you get what you need.
Read full review Our support team has been awesome. They are extremely knowledgeable and have been able to guide us through all of the challenges we have faced. Workday's community online is also extremely helpful with many trainings and help topics that can be reviewed at your convenience.

Read full review Implementation Rating I assumed there would be more assistance from JobBoss for implementation of the software. I felt it was very independent on my part and I felt unsure a lot of the time
Read full review Alternatives Considered JobBoss was chosen over the competitors for the ease of use, the support that is available, and the price point. The flow of JobBoss's sofftware is easily followed. The support that is available when needed- we took full advantage of the one-on-one consulting time that was available. The Software is very economical for the value that is provides.

Airtable also being easier to use one thing that differentiates and put forth Workday Financial Management tool above is it's key features and better suited functionality for handling confidential data. The other positive note where Workday Financial Management performs high is it key analytics tool that's easier to use and representation of information into insightful dashboards.

Read full review Return on Investment We have seen improved visibility of our jobs and on how we quote our products to our customers. It is nice to be able to see what is running on each station, who is running it and what part of the process the job is currently at. I also like the Data Collection module as I can see in real time what all the employees are currently doing. Read full review We were able to combine 4 different HR modules into one system. We reduced data breach incidents by 95% after shifting to Workday. One of our legacy softwares had vulnerabilities. The initial learning curve was higher than projected. We spent about a week to 10 days extra time deploying it, which affected the profit center that year. Read full review ScreenShots
