JobBOSS² runs on the cloud, and this makes it easy for our staff to use. We use JobBOSS² as our ERP system. This allows us to plan and control the flow of the product being manufactured. Scheduling is used to assist with the tight schedules and outside processors we work with within our industry.

We use JobBOSS² to manage our work, finances, and scheduling. This package takes you from an estimate through to an end-of-year financial review. You can track virtually everything you could want. It comes out of the box with most reports and functions you could want and is easy to learn for someone computer savvy. If you struggle with technology, you can still use it just fine; it might take a little more time to get up to speed. We were not really digital before this, which has allowed us to get a much better grasp on our business without needing to create elaborate spreadsheets to look at data. We are only in our first year, but it already saves time for us from quoting to managing work. The team that sells JobBOSS² is well-informed and honest. I think most shops could have the basics down within a few months and within a year be fully utilizing the software, but to truly get all the benefits, I think it will take a few years to get everything exactly how we want it. Overall, couldn't be happier with JobBOSS² and their staff.

We currently operating all manufacturing operations out of JobBOSS². We use JobBOSS² for order entry and control, quality control, load leveling, and employee management. Before we implemented it, we operated all off verbal communication and Excel spreadsheets. JobBOSS² has increased efficiencies and has made communication more clear. With the aid of JobBOSS² we are also able to give more accurate data back to our customers, Ex. Leadtime, on time percentages, etc.

I implemented JobBOSS² on Jan 1, 2023, to replace proprietary software previously being used/ modified as needed. In addition to this software, Linmark utilized Excel spreadsheets and Quickbooks to manage jobs, accounting functions, and reporting. After the implementation, we used JobBOSS² and synced AR & AP to Quickbooks weekly. JobBOSS² has been a welcome change at Linmark, as we were given a magnitude of visibility that we would have never had otherwise. JobBOSS² brought into one cloud-based software all the functions we previously performed across multiple platforms.

We use JobBOSS² as our primary ERP software. We like the project costing and purchasing functions as a way to keep accurate costs of the labor, parts and administrative paperwork needed for each project. We also use the quality documentation function to comply with our quality management system. We wished it did more from a CRM and profit margin calculation perspective. The reporting functionality is limited but good for what we need.

We use JobBOSS² in our machine shop for order in take planning, production scheduling, purchasing of raw materials and other supplies as well es employee time tracking. We also use the report functionally for tracking profitability per job, which also allows us to better quote based on historical values adjusted with updated labor and raw material cost.

JobBoss2 is our currently ERP system with the Time & Attendance.
The ERP software is static and not robust enough to pivot with a dynamic business environment. Required modifications are considered customizations that you need to pay consulting.
The Time & Attendance cannot be directedly exported to another payroll provider like ADP, Paychex.

Jobboss2 is our company's ERP platform. We use it to track customer orders, inventory, time tracking, outside service processing, and production routings. The problem it solves is the manual tracking of orders, inventory, and routings in Excel spreadsheets & on paper, which was a slow, cumbersome, repetitive, and often redundant task. Inventory was tracked in a spreadsheet previously, orders were tracked in their own individual spreadsheets, and job routings existed on pen & paper. We're now able to track all of our parts and routings in Jobboss, tweak them easily to launch new production runs, and capture inventory information. Instead of manually tracking time with a time clock or pen and paper, machinists are now able to scan a bar code and start recording their hours automatically for particular operations.

We use JobBOSS² for everything at our organization, it's really helped us grow as a team. It's great for keeping track of all customer orders and all vendor purchase orders, whether they are open or closed. Using JobBOSS² makes everything easier to find in just a few clicks. I couldn't imagine working here without it.

We use JobBOSS² to help maintain organization, workflow, and job costing for our rapidly growing company. This year, we purchased a separate building to host our Machine Shop capabilities and needed software to provide a central hub for our production team, as we are now actively working out of two locations. Before JobBOSS², tracking inventory and material usage was all done with Excel spreadsheets kept in multiple locations. We also did not have a great way to track Job Costing or P&L reports. The Job Travelers give precise data for labor hours, and the platform makes pulling reports like a P&L or Actual vs Estimated Cost quick and easy! We are also an ISO-certified company and purchased the Quality add-on. It is so much easier having all of our information stored in one central location where all users can easily access it since this is a website-hosted software. We also use JobBOSS² for our purchasing needs, production, and shop floor control. Assigning exact material needed directly to jobs is a luxury we did not have prior. Ultimately, using JobBOSS² has not only given us better, more accurate, and easily accessible financial data but also helped us organize and simplify many of our purchasing and material processes.

We are a manufacturing company using JobBOSS² in all aspects of our workday. We use a majority of the features provided with the software throughout each day, and we also use it to Sync with our desktop version of QuickBooks for Accounting. We have found JobBOSS² to be very user-friendly, easy to learn, and to use. I use the Estimating, Customer Quotes, Orders, Shipments, Vendor RFQs, Vendor POs, Receiving, Inventory Items, Inventory Adjustments, Time & Attendance, and Inventory Transfer modules on a routine basis each week. I have found them all very easy to use and have had no issues with any part of it. I have also learned how to use the Report Designer function and have found it relatively easy to make my reports look how I want them to, instead of just the standard format.

We use JobBOSS² as an enterprise-wide ERP system. From Estimate to Invoice, the ERP system incorporates all aspects of work. Creating estimates that convert into orders/jobs and act as shop travelers is key to managing production. The interface is straightforward to learn at first. There are more sophisticated features that take longer to master. The ease of use is also a challenge - anyone can enter part numbers (that have access), and controlling key nomenclature is important to avoid redundant parts and dilute the value of the ERP control. The built-in features are best for managing job costing, creating job requirements and purchase orders, and invoicing jobs. We do not use any integrations with financial software (QuickBooks or other) and find the accounting system is sufficient for our use (with the help of an outsourced accounting firm).

Before I go into this, I want to point out that I've worked with some of the smartest and most patient technicians who represent JobBOSS². BUT. Here's where I'm having problems 1) Job Costing - We have the manual scanner in place yet are unable to run any reports that tell me how much time we are spending and, moreover, HOW MUCH MONEY!!! We've had a consultant out here, but she pushed the scheduling module - We are a job shop - We cannot use said module.

JobBOSS² is our ERP that we use to run our business. It has all the features that you would need to run a manufacturing business but it has some areas of weakness. We use the software to quote, process orders, and manage our outside processes. We do not use the scheduling module as it does not meet our needs.

We are currently in the process of implementing the JobBOSS² application. We upgraded the software as a continuation of utilizing the program, but we needed to implement the program as an implementation, so the current process of implementation has been delegated to our sister company in Canada, and now I do not know when we will go live. From what I have worked on and with, this program will assist our organization with all aspects of our daily work, from accounting to inventory management. I cannot wait to see it implemented completely.

I am responsible for invoicing customers and entering invoices from vendors using JobBOSS². I also track vendor payments and write out checks. I am responsible for uploading material certifications into the repository as well. I generally handle all accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll tasks.

We use E2 Shop System across the whole organization, starting with entering the orders when they first arrive to creating packing slips when the order gets shipped out. With the help of order summaries, such as backlog and shipment summaries, it is very easy to keep track of orders and shipments. It also provides purchase order summaries, which helps us identify which vendor we're sending our parts to more and their dollar value as well. Also, with the help of dashboard, it's easy to see monthly/yearly goals and sales, as well as backlog analysis in a pie chart form. E2 Shop System helps us with production schedules and keeping a smooth schedule running the shop floor.

We utilize E2 for all aspects of our Sheet Metal Fabrication, from purchasing to scheduling. E2 has many different modules that we use. They are:

Purchasing
Inventory
Order Entry
Job Travelers
Returns/Non-conformances

These modules have helped us significantly in tracking jobs throughout the process as well as compliance with our ISO standards.
