Overall Satisfaction with JobBOSS²

Inventory control management and tracking manufacturing process. Streamlined integrated platform instead of using different apps to manage end-to-end manufacturing process Primarily used to track inventory & some basic manufacturer tracking. Then using this data to analyze purchasing decisions. Will allow us to scale processes and data analysis as our company grows

Pros

  • Inventory control management
  • Scaling
  • Integrated platform for multi-purposes throughout the manufacturer process

Cons

  • Great when you are familiar with the app, but the initial training can be daunting. A simpler tracking model would help for some end-users
  • A little pricey for what we use it for, but itll allow us to scale once we grow
  • Ongoing training required - ideally most of the app is more intuitive
  • Provided reporting/analytics to forecast inventory levels
  • Streamline manufacturing process to shorten delivery time
  • Scalability - limits initial costs to purchase software & grows with your company

Using JobBOSS²

10 - - Provide estimating/quoting
- Purchase order creation
- Inventory control including material and parts investory
- Able to review/confirm current & past history
- Invoicing

- The people involved are part of the inventory & product building and others are part of the in-office staff who work on billing & forecasting
2 - There are only 2 staff supporting this application right now, they need to have a good understanding of most of the processes with manufacturing and how we maintain inventory control and a high level idea of cost control and pricing within our business. Communication is key as there is a lot of input needed from other staff
  • Estimating product costs
  • Creating purchase order
  • Inventory control
  • Review order history to forecast
  • Invoicing
  • Work order creation
  • Detailed raw material tracking
  • Introduce more products that have smaller components
  • Deeper analysis with CRM roles
Jobboss tends to have a very steep learning curve and isnt always useable for a lot of manufacturing staff. Buy-in to utilize the software was and continues to be a challenge as staff needs to track & input components so that info on Jobboss is up to date and reliable

Evaluating JobBOSS² and Competitors

  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
Although ECI requires a steep learning curve which includes time and training, it makes sense as we are considering micro managing all the small components in our manufacturing process. Also, we would like to have better inventory management (both from a finished product & raw material standpoint). Utilizing this software allows us to make more accurate estimates
I underestimated the amount of time & effort required to use this software. There was also a lack of appreciation of how much work is required by staff to maintain lists and input constant info so we can accurately track our inventory and raw materials. We also didnt realize that the software wasnt as customizable as we had been first led to believe
