Shipping and Purchasing are great. Inventory Control is great. > > **Cons**: Scheduling can be difficult to figure out, but we are working on that. Also, the Accounting can be a little wonky sometimes in how it integrates with QuickBooks. > > JobBOSS² is very user friendly and easy to navigate. It's fast and easy to use - there's no buffering, and we like that the system is web based. ----- ### "Designed to meet the needs of a job shop environment" — 4.0/5 > **Henrijs** | *14 April 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. ----- ### ""Functions as designed\!"" — 1.0/5 > **Keith** | *30 January 2024* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Not much so far, functionality is very minimal and rigid. > > **Cons**: Lack of product development. Haven't seen a single meaningful software improvement in over 5 years. Constantly being told the software is working as it was 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. ----- ### "Offered accurate job costing which helped in increasing our margins" — 4.0/5 > **Jhonny** | *11 April 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. ----- ### "Jobboss2 made our business grow." — 5.0/5 > **Jeff** | *27 January 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Flexible and affordable. Able to keep track of jobs and inventory very easily. Track job progress on next level. > > **Cons**: I'll have to let you know when i find something. > > I was able to take our shop to another level and improve overall performance and keep jobs on track so much easier. ----- Page: 1 / 36\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/389923/jobboss2?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/389923/jobboss2) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
