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.
  • Order Managment
  • Employee time Tracking
  • PO Generation
  • Invoice/Receiving
  • Accounting functions
  • Ordering on the time and attendance page
  • Quoting process
JobBOSS² has been a tremendous improvement from our Excel spreadsheets. It has been helpful with tracking material to specific jobs- The attachment tab is helpful. The interface between JobBOSS² and QB could be more user-friendly. Tracking employees is helpful. JobBoss is less appropriate for quoting. There are more variables to take into consideration than what is offered.

  • Improved visibility
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.
We have not currently integrated JobBoss with any other tools.
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.

No
  • Scalability
  • Ease of Use
The most important factor we valued when deciding on Jobboss was that the software was robust enough that it took care of our immediate software needs and was robust enough to allow us to grow into it. Implementing new software is challenging, so it was important to us that we found a partner that allowed us to continue to grow.
There is nothing we would change about or evaluation or selection process. We feel we made a very calculated selection and it has served all of our needs thus far.
Implantation went smoothly for the most part.

We use JobBOSS2 in all areas of our business, from accounting to inventory management to shop floor control. We were looking for a better analysis of shop production and a system to help us streamline jobs and resources.
  • Great reports.
  • Training and tech support.
  • Job process is laid out in a logical, accountable way.
  • Report designer could be more user-friendly.
  • Better explanation of month-end journal entries that are needed for financial reports.
I think JobBOSS2 is well suited for any machine shop or manufacturing business.

  • We were able to better capture the true costs of manufacturing that we couldn't do with Quickbooks.
It's great that it's all in one system and we can access almost everything in a mobile app.
No integrations.
10
  • Shop floor control
  • Inventory management
  • Order management
  • Attaching our engineering drawings to work orders.
It functions very well for us.
Yes
We used Quickbooks prior to JobBOSS2, and we did not get near good enough analysis of our processes to ensure we were being profitable.
  • Ease of Use
We didn't want to get into anything too complicated. However, JobBOSS2 can get into some fairly detailed analysis depending on the report that is designed.
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.
No, not sure what this is.
I had a tech support person stay 2 hours past his time to end his day to help me with several accounting issues.
Most things are pretty clear, but some applications are hidden in other buttons.
  • invoicing
  • payments
  • cash receipts
  • Changing parts from one job to another.
Yes
Works great!
