JobBoss gets the job done!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use JobBoss2 daily to complete a certification process for all inspections performed in-house. We are a lab that does non-destruction testing of aerospace parts, and each part has to be inspected and certified to stand up to certain specifications. JobBoss2 helps us complete the entire process by producing a certification form to send to our customers to determine whether or not the parts passed those required specifications and how they were processed.

Pros

  • Tracking progress.
  • Integration with QuickBooks.
  • Inventory control of parts on hand.

Cons

  • Produce packing lists.

Likelihood to Recommend

Producing a tracking to follow parts through different processes works very well. If you need a packing slip, it is a little cumbersome to type out everything in a simple one.

JobBOSS 2.

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use JobBoss as our primary ERP. We use it from start to finish when creating a job, ordering components, tracking costs, and eventually billing the customer. We are relatively new to JobBoss, as we have had it for some years but are making a push to utilize it more.

Pros

  • Purchase orders.
  • Receiving tracking.
  • Billing

Cons

  • Upload CSV data.
  • Create an app.
  • Expand external resources.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would recommend JobBoss to any colleague in small—to medium-sized manufacturing firms. Although I am not convinced that it will be able to handle advanced data from larger firms, it should be able to handle everything small—to medium-sized businesses require. JobBoss is great.

JobBOSS² review

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use JobBOSS² to create packing slips to bill customers properly, track parts throughout our facility, make purchase orders, estimate, and more. We also use the software to batch in and out of jobs, start and stop time on jobs, calculate estimated hours vs actual hours and generate scheduling lists.

Pros

  • Creating packing slips
  • Estimate jobs
  • Track parts

Cons

  • Scheduling is a little tricky
  • Estimating can get lost
  • Estimated hours vs actual hours is hard to see

Likelihood to Recommend

JobBOSS² works with us because it's easy to navigate when the parts flow through the shop but parts seem to get lost with batching in and out of jobs

JobBOSS² review

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use JobBOSS² for all estimating and scheduling purposes in our sheet metal manufacturing plant. Our company consists of 64 employees. We pair JobBOSS² with QuickBooks and they work extremely well together. As long as the information you enter into JobBOSS² is accurate, it will be your best friend! Highly recommend. Only downfall is inventory is difficult to keep track of but I have yet to find an ERP that does this well.

Pros

  • Estimating
  • Scheduling
  • Ordering Material

Cons

  • Customer Service
  • Keeping track of billable hours
  • Doing commitment orders

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for mid size shops.
