We are a lab that does non-destruction testing of aerospace parts, and each part has to be inspected and certified to stand up to certain specifications. JobBoss2 helps us complete the entire process by producing a certification form to send to our customers to determine whether or not the parts passed those required specifications and how they were processed.

VP of Operations in Manufacturing at LaserForm (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use JobBOSS² for all estimating and scheduling purposes in our sheet metal manufacturing plant. Our company consists of 64 employees. We pair JobBOSS² with QuickBooks and they work extremely well together. As long as the information you enter into JobBOSS² is accurate, it will be your best friend! Highly recommend. Only downfall is inventory is difficult to keep track of but I have yet to find an ERP that does this well.

Pros

Estimating
Scheduling
Ordering Material

Cons

Customer Service
Keeping track of billable hours
Doing commitment orders

Return on Investment

Improved OTD
Improved lead times
