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.
  • Multitudes of Standard Reports
  • Ability to Almost Completely Customize Reports & Forms
  • Inclusive Software from Quoting through Manufacturing to Invoicing
  • Return and Rework Tracking
  • 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
While JobBOSS² has some quirks and learning curves to get around initially, it has been a great resource for our company. The visibility of jobs on our manufacturing floor and their statuses has been the most helpful. For our office staff, having all functions from job entry to purchasing to invoicing in one software has been hugely time effective compared to our previous process of double and sometimes triple entering information across multiple software platforms. For our business, a precision job shop where every job is different, and we do not have many production-run type jobs, JobBoss2 is very well suited. It allows us to enter all details and routing requirements for each job/ part. The main scenario in our shop that we have JobBOSS² not well suited is raw material inventory handling due to the requirement of entering material in full number quantities only and no ability to enter any decimal quantities. This means that if you have 4-1/4" of a type of metal on your shelf, you would enter 4" and disregard the 1/4" - this becomes an issue when manufacturing a part that is 4", but you would need to have 4-1/4" or even just 4-1/8" of material for the CNC machine to chuck on-to (hold on-to). Now we see we only have 4" and believe we'll need to order material when we would not need to.

  • Improved visability
  • Reduction of office staffing needs
Linmark has benefited in reducing office staff numbers, saving us thousands per year. JobBOSS² has streamlined processes and reduced touches for each job/ customer purchase order.
We have integrated JobBOSS² with Quickbooks; this has been a wonderful setup and works very well. This allows our accounting functions to still be performed and shared with our accountants in a format they are comfortable and familiar with.
We evaluated a few other ERP systems and chose JobBOSS² based on how similarly it functioned to our previous software but also wrapped all functions into one software instead of 3+. We were not at a place to go paperless, which made the decision not to utilize ProShop easy.

  • Job Cost Tracking

  • Machinist Efficiency Tracking

  • Total worked Hours Tracking
  • Actual cost tracking
  • Document availability to machinists on shop floor
  • Accounting services
  • Quality Control
Overall, JobBoss works great for our company. There are a few quirky features that we would be interested in finding a software that conquers those quirks, we would be willing to investigate if a software were presented.
Yes
FileMaker database- system did not have the functionality needed.
  • Ease of Use
We were looking for an easy to use system that compared similarly to our previous software but had the functionality of an ERP system.
I would do more hands-on use of the software prior to committing to its use.
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.
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was a small part of the implementation and was well-handled
Create an implementation and training team so each team member can focus on a different portion of the project and then be an "expert" on their individual parts.
  • Independently learning the software without assistance from JobBoss support
  • Keeping motivation high with our employees to use a new system
  • Online Training
  • In-Person Training
  • No Training
Our trainer was very knowledgeable and helpful.
The videos and live seminars were helpful but not all were as in-depth as needed.
In general yes it was easy.
The system works great for our needs, however we are a job shop, which the software was designed for.
No
Some - we have done small customizations to the interface
we have only done minimal customization
No - we have not done any custom code
ability to add/ modify each navigator screen
I wish support would be more easily accessible. I find myself needing help with one-off questions occasionally and would like to be able to call in and ask without having to schedule 2 hours of training
I did not even know this was an option.
No
On-site training prior to implementation was a phenomenal experience, our trainer was great and very knowledgeable.
Overall the system works well for us however there are quirks, such as inventory & purchasing quantities not able to be entered in decimals.
