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 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 Complete production cycle, right from planning to final product manufacturing. Keeping all documents in one place, with ability to upload important stuff against the particular entries. Maintain trail of any changes made to data, validations at the right places and methodological working of each process 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 The complex integration we have with ERPs make it difficult to move or upgrade to SAP S4 HANA. Reimplementing all integrations and not impact business is a challenge Requires a lot of tedious testing so that no role or function is impacted Very time consuming to implement or upgrade. For large corporations it would take years to slowly migrate to S4HANA 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 The cost of SAP as an ERP is quite high and the switching costs associated with ERP systems are even higher. That being said moving from one ERP to another only happens once in a great while for large organizations. Those switching costs include retraining, IT hardware requirements, outside consultants and more

It provides everything a manufacturing company might be looking for, starting from entering a new PO to shipping parts.

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 The technical support received by the ITT design teams and OS implementation team has been very useful in ensuring that the SAP ERP is well-tailored to our company's specific needs and operations. This coupled with the training materials, business process maps, and concept demos (sand-box demos) makes adoption easy on end-users.

Read full review Implementation was as expected. We had minor issues with our Z* transactions, but nothing special. Some tables were extended and needed regeneration. Overall satisfactions is good.
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.
Read full review In our quest for an ERP solution, we evaluated alternatives such as Oracle ERP Cloud and Microsoft Dynamics 365. However, SAP S/4HANA Cloud's reputation for advanced analytics, scalability, and seamless integration with other SAP solutions made it the natural choice for our organization's digital journey.

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 Cost Savings and Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): While the initial implementation costs might be significant, the centralized data management and automation features can lead to cost savings over time. This might be achieved through reduced manual labor, better inventory control, optimized procurement processes, and streamlined operations, resulting in a lower TCO. Better Visibility and Compliance: The system's ability to offer comprehensive data visibility can enhance compliance efforts, mitigating risks and ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements. This can lead to reduced fines or penalties related to non-compliance issues. Read full review ScreenShots SAP S/4HANA Cloud Screenshots
