JobBOSS² vs. Ramco ERP

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 ERP platforms.

It provides a complete real-time solution on the go, if possible. Complete with all the features. I would definitely recommend this
to other businesses to have in their ecosystem for a complete understanding of
cloud-based digitization of business operations. Best choice for transforming the cloud-based organization into digital transformation.

• 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.

• I am pretty much impressed by their unified solution for every problem, workflow-based approach, and real-time optimizing engine in memory.
• Interference of Ramco ERP is the reason for choosing it.
• It is a completely cost-effective and reliable ERP solution.
• The best feature that helps me to keep working on Ramco ERP is that it easily integrated with other existing software very easily.

• 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

• The biggest drawback I have been facing while using the platform is that there must be no compromise on security. There is a need for a few changes in security and data control which helps businesses to trust Ramco ERP more.
• Data migration is a bit of hard work along with the reports that are not giving expected results, which need improvements.

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

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.

I have
been using this software for some time where I have changed my organization
setup with the help of Ramco ERP and it leads to being the best choice, as it has
all the features that are needed to be the best. All the processes are very streamlined, easy to
use, and the real-time inventory stock update is amazing.

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.

The support team is best in their respective tasks.
They are very supportive and responsive to the messages, listen to the problem
carefully, and provide a solution on the go. If it is not possible, they will
respond after time with the workable solution.

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

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.

• 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.

• Support team is great; it helps me where I am stuck.
