The ability to manage all aspects of the shop in one place is the biggest benefit so far I have seen with JobBOSS². We all work under the same standardized system and process. While it's not perfectly suited to us, we are all on the same page now. Even if there are times when we are all confused, we are all in the same boat instead of one person leading with how they do things and then trying to mesh all those different systems together. It's also been great to allow people access to information they previously didn't have like an estimator knowing what has or has not been billed.

I now have a clear understanding and am able to track what is going on in the shop thanks to JobBOSS². The shops efficiencies have also increased due to clearer communication from order entry to shop floor flow processes. We are able to collect real data to identify any bottle necks.

Our shop has benefited significantly from managing all aspects through the JobBOSS² ERP software. It streamlined inventory control, enhanced order processing efficiency, and improved customer management. However, occasional system lags and limited customization options prevent it from being exceptional. I wish it had better customized reporting. Overall, it's a valuable tool for our operations.

We have benefited from it, since we now can access the software from anywhere with a computer. It has helped us improve visibility on costs and time. But I am still not ok with, in what in my opinion is, the bait and switch behavior of their sales force. I can not recommend them and for the future will have to.ñook.at other job shop software to make sure I am getting better support.

The JobBoss2 is a really mixed bag in terms of an ERP module, some of the basic functions are too cumbersome for everyday use. We continue to struggle when we have to conduct basic research of cost and inventory items. The reports are not easily customized when we have a need to

No. We are able to manage 50% of the shop in one place, mostly with production, but the production planning, resource planning (raw material), consignment, blanket orders, costing, financial analysis of margins for a portfolio of parts for a particular customer, pricing/quotes are all done separately outside of Jobboss2 due to its limitations. It's close to being able to have a lot of these things, but the features the system has for these are not effective for how we'd need to use the system.

Very well. It's nice to only have to use once source for everything. It makes it much easier to manage and find things. It's also easier for training. There's only one system to be trained on and it's very easy to understand.

I have absolutely benefited from using JobBOSS²! We relied on many different tools and spreadsheets to manage everything from inventory to payroll. Having all this information stored in one location has made everything more efficient and accessible to all users.

In a job shop, the volume of orders can be challenging, especially if the jobs are different. JobBOSS² allows us to see similar orders to create standardization of like parts, even where parts are different. Moreover, attaching certifications and test inspections to parts allows for easier record-keeping.

JobBOSS² lets us all work out of one data container, eliminating other manual tools and spreadsheet processes. How this compares to other available software packages is difficult to say without jumping ship and trying another, and we feel locked into JobBOSS² ERP and its recurring costs at this point.

We've not - We have had to find workarounds because JobBOSS² provides no flexibility. Each company has different needs- Most of us have a lot of the same - Make the system adjustable@ Another good example - We only have three levels of security - How is that a good idea?

A central system to track everything is essential. But like anything, garbage in, garbage out. So, it takes time and effort to ensure it is executed correctly. JobBOSS² does a decent job for what it is designed to do, but it isn't a game changer either.
