Jobboss has a lot of power and functionality for managing and tracking the jobs in our shop. The job history data is easily searchable to establish current pricing and update routing times. There are a lot of helpful reports to break down the costing in assembly jobs as well. We're also able to store notes about each operation step in job boss, and when someone logs out of an operation, they can leave their own notes as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jobboss can be difficult to navigate at times, and on larger quotes I sometimes have issues with the software crashing as I try to generate the final quote. If someone else begins to work on the quote at the same time it won't notify me, but one person will not be able to save their work while the other still has the same quote open.

JobBOSS is easy to use and stable, so long as you remain within its limits. Creating, managing, and printing shop routings and bills of material is straightforward. Purchasing is easy as well. It is software well suited for a job shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JobBOSS is limited in that it is job-focused, not part-focused. That may sound trivial at face value, but the distinction becomes significant if your business grows beyond a job shop. Repeat part numbers can be handled through templates, but with limitation. For example, manufactured component parts shared among multiple top level assemblies or weldments is not handled efficiently through JobBOSS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For manufacturing, it is excellent, BUT you must do the heavy lifting from the start. Take the time to enter accurate data - from material to finished product and everything inbetween! It is relatively easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system generates and assigns so many different numbers - From Quote# to Sales Order# to Packing List# to Invoice#. It would be nice if the system created one number per "order" and used that same number throughout the process - designating the different stages throughout the order process with dashes or letters.

Vendors and Customer ID# should be auto-generated numbers. If not, then give admins the ability to change them at any time.

Many manufacturers (like ourselves) are selling directly to the end-user (customer). The need for this software to handle the manufacturing side and the retail side would be helpful. Another feature we need would be to have JobBoss seamlessly integrate with an e-commerce platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about JobBOSS is its user-friendly interface and the fast support. There are many tools and features allowed in this application which makes it very diverse and unique. Going from the installation on the SQL server to the configurations and modifications. JobBOSS is very easy to us and can be very helpful in becoming the primary database for various organizations. The outline is a very universal structure, but is to be very accurate to the manufacturing processes. Data Collection is very powerful even now we do not fully utilize to it abilities. Data collection at serves the manufacturing very well as time and attendance and job costing. This would be a highly recommendable solution for various manufacturing or quality companies.

Sometimes the servers would be really slow and can impact workflow. There was an instance one time when after upgrading the servers the linkage to another application we were connected with seemed to be disrupted. This cause quite a panic for the loss of data, however, we were able to fix the issue with JobBOSS support. Creating a case with support is very easy and the timing to get help depends on how severe your issue is. With mine being very high I got contact within about an hour! There was another time where the server did go down for some reason, but one quick restart got it going again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm impressed with how the modules fit together to help all aspects of the shop run smoothly. It has a good variety of reports available, and we have created custom reports. Also, I can generate queries for more detailed data evaluation.

Exact provides a great variety of training options to help users make the most of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Minor things -

> After a sales order is saved, the customer ID can't be changed; instead, you have to close it and enter a new sales order.

>Material Type can't be changed once the material ID has been saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it can be time consuming to enter the data, the long term is its' ability to manipulate for future cycle times/cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike about jobboss. I would say that without some extensive training it is difficult to know all the different functions available that can enhance the usability of jobboss Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ECI JobBoss is always looking forward and updating its software to include processes that benefit its clients! Databases interact with each other, so information is always available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing needs changing! Very good system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to collect information regarding all aspects of business in one place. Ease in the managerial report generation and ability to perform high-level analysis related to cost, productivity, and efficiency. Ease in completing the job estimates based on the array of previous jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some aspects were not intuitive and required a few tries and errors to figure out. No online support at the time I was using that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JobBOSS is easy to learn and easy to use. JobBOSS has done a good job of keeping its screens and data flows simple and JobBOSS is also easy to learn. The database structure is logical and straightforward, which makes writing reports and queries easier. I like JobBOSS's job flow which combines the functionality of a sales order and a work order into one document. JobBOSS is easier to implement than most ERP systems.

JobBOSS needs to give the ability to add more user fields and to add user fields to more than just the user field tab. We have run out of user fields and we can't put them on a screen where the users typically work. JobBOSS would also benefit from updatable dashboard functionality. It would also be nice if JobBOSS integrated its manufacturing accounting transactions to the general ledger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
