Job Costing Software ERP & CRM Reviews & Product Details

Jolted is job costing and work order management software purpose-built for small to mid-sized manufacturers. Designed for job shops, CNC shops, metal fabricators, and contract manufacturers doing custom, make-to-order work, Jolted replaces error-prone spreadsheets with real-time visibility into the true cost and profitability of every job. Core capabilities include real-time job costing with quoted vs. actual comparison, digital work orders with multi-operation routing, drag-and-drop production scheduling, WIP and inventory tracking, job-based time clocks for labor cost capture, a built-in CRM with proposal builder, purchase orders, and automated workflows. Labor hours and material usage flow into job costs automatically — no manual data entry required. Unlike enterprise ERP systems like NetSuite or Odoo that cost six figures and take months to implement, Jolted offers flat monthly pricing with unlimited users, no implementation fees, and most shops go live within two weeks. Unlike QuickBooks, which only tracks transactions, Jolted captures the shop-floor activities — labor hours per job, material usage, and overhead allocation — that determine whether a job actually made money. Jolted is the right-sized solution for manufacturers who have outgrown spreadsheets but don't need (or want to pay for) enterprise complexity. Plans have simple fixed processing, one tier for all.
