About JobBOSS²

JobBOSS² is a job shop management software designed for custom manufacturers and machine shops. It supports make-to-order manufacturers in industries such as fabrication, machining, screw production, tool and die, stamping, and spring manufacturing, offering flexibility for varied production processes.

The software includes an AI BOM builder that creates draft bills of materials from different file formats. It features scheduling tools with drag-and-drop calendar functionality. Job management tools convert quotes into production orders and track progress and efficiency. The inventory management feature monitors materials in real time, automates forecasting, and generates purchase orders when supplies are low. Quality management tools provide access to documents, track equipment calibration, and manage workflows from a centralized system.

The platform offers reporting tools with real-time analytics on customer and job profitability, comparing estimated and actual costs. It is cloud-based and includes ITAR compliance capabilities for secure data access. Mobile applications allow team members to track time and access system features remotely.

"Functions as designed!"

It has been the worst implementation in my 45 years of implementing manufacturing software systems. Our customer service rep is late or non responsive to our inquiries about the software. Software is very limited on flexibility adapting to a company's industry needs.

10/10 Would Recommend JobBOSS²

JobBOSS² very much helps us with inventory and keeps that cost effective for us. The job traveler and going out into the shop is very handy to put any information we want on there. For all of our users, everyone is bought in and likes using this system a lot.

Pros:

#1 - We really like how robust JobBOSS² is and how much it covers for us. Also, with so many features and capabilities, it is also very customizable and allows us to change just about anything we want. I used to use JobBOSS and am really enjoying the improved experience with JobBOSS². Next, the regular updates are fantastic, keeping us up to date with the newest features and enhancements of JobBOSS². Lastly, we love that we can run the system on either Windows or Mac computers.

Cons:

With order processing and looking at our order list, when we want to order by job or order number, the saving remains at a default setting. When we customize this, it does not save over time. When we leave the system, it goes back to the default settings. Also, it does not allow other users to see my work, still resetting to the default every time.

Pros:

I liked the fact JobBOSS² allows me to follow the job status in real-time from the work center update. I can easily tell which workstation is behind or ahead of the schedule and mobilize resources to ensure timely deliveries which there was no way I could do in the past.

Cons:

The reporting tool lacks flexibility in a way that allows me to go through multiple jobs with similar material or customer group. For instance, when I wanted to run a profitability report per each of the related customers, I had to export and then combining outside.

Inventory Control - Spot On

In the 8 months of using JobBoss, there was a certain learning curve as with all new software, learning how tasks are stacked to certain functionalities. Once that is learned, you can easily find what it is you are looking for.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The detailed control of purchases based on past purchases/cost/vendor to have it flow back into the job bidding process to insure we are keeping on top of making sure we properly bid on work. Making purchases based on specific job requirements/needs is paramount to minimizing overhead that might get stuck in "stock" and left as an unknown costing thousands in underutilized inventory dollars.

Cons:

The difficulty in finding and/or tagging documents to certain jobs that might help the manufacturing process. This might be based on how your company uses related drawings or details for bids that might be won.

5 Stars for JobBOSS²

Pros:

We really like the structural layout of JobBOSS². It is repetitive in how it's laid out, so the logic and flow of the system is very intuitive.

Cons:

While the system worked very well for us as our one single company, we have had some complications with bringing newly acquired businesses onto the system. We had some custom code written to accommodate this, but is still not functioning properly for us. We cannot easily combine multiple companies into the system.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I believe it was a significant upgrade in terms of the job costing accuracy for our company. It also allows for the tracking of materials and hours in order by order to find which orders are consuming the most time. I have been able to assess which jobs are inimical to margins and make correct estimations in that respect.

Cons:

I noticed that it was somewhat limited on the part variation when it came to vendors. We are often unable to distinguish new revisions of parts from the same supplier unless we enter new part numbers for them, which only increases the amount of data we enter on our end.

Pros:

JobBOSS² is easy to use. It's very flexible and user friendly. Also, it is easy to bring new employees onto the system, teach them how to use it, and quickly get them using the system effectively.

Cons:

One of our integrations is not syncing up properly - we're struggling to get the data points over from Paperless Parts into the system. Also, there seems to be a ceiling on scalability with the number of parts of our products, as some have 600 or 700 components - this can be difficult to manage.

Cumbersome, Clunky, One-Size-Does Not Fit All ERP Software

I've been working with Shoptech for just over a year and gave it my best effort. We have implemented many work arounds to try and work within the forced system. However, there are glaring issues around each corner and fixes are painfully slow to be implemented. Although the software is cloud-based there are many features of a cloud based software that are not being utilized. For example, records do not save until the user clicks save (standard cloud based software packages retain the information as the user updates it).

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The concepts at a very high level are good. The modules and work flow make sense in general. The basic concepts are all good and at the core are what is needed out of an ERP system.

Cons:

Where to start... 1. The number of clicks to accomplish a simple task is unreal and extremely time consuming. 2. Lack of customization - each company is very different in operation yet all are forced into a solution that does not work for all. Simple issues such as the way tables are viewed are forced by Shoptech and not able to be customized. 3. Customer service - Many issues raised by the online community are classified as "oversights" and not as defects as a result nothing is done to correct them 4. Slow improvements - The community can request enhancements to the software, yet this are very slow to be implemented (if at all). 5. Outdated - many features are copied over from old outdated software and not likely to change anytime soon as they attempt to keep the new cloud based software inline with the older software packages
