Reviews of JobBOSS²
E2 Shoptech revolutionized our shop
Pros:
1. No IT guy cost to maintain server. 2. Can use inexpensive workstations. We use Chromebooks for data collection. I also use a chromebook for trips. 3. Android/Apple app for tablets that can be used for data collection 4. Also just released an app for employees to check in and out from their phone. You can post stock from this app. 5. Work from anywhere. I was in Minnesota 2 weeks ago during a blizzard. I was at starbucks, posted up next to the window, working on my chromebook with no hick ups. 6. New updated features over the old system. Better reports. More capable Hot Spots. 7. Works the same as the old system, just things are in different spots. 8. Better, more efficient user interface 9. Easier to customize reports 10. Just introduced Dashboards
Cons:
1. The subscription price. 2. Cert control in general can be better. 3. Employee Clock in Module is a pain. You cannot edit someone time until they are clocked out.
Would recommend!
Comments: I'm very happy with this system and would recommend.
Pros:
I think what drew us to this ERP system from the start is the aesthetics. It's got a great color scheme and easy to find your way around the system with the color coded sections and icons. A close second is the flexibility you have with E2. You can pretty easily undo mistakes and recreate packing slips, invoices, etc.
Cons:
I want to be able to customize the reports more easily. I don't know how to use their Report Designer and it's not easily self-taught.

7 yrs of use - just could not get it to deliver
Comments: Disappointing. In 2017, we went in excited about all its features and how easy it was to use from sales demos. In reality, that was not our experience. It took over a year to get working, then the next year, trying to get the QB integration to work. In the end, QB integration never worked, forcing us to move all inventory/ordering, etc., back to QB. This was yr 3 now. Project scheduling was difficult to deal with changes and led to consent managing the software, which took just too much time. We moved to a stand-alone project, MGT software, for much better results in yr 3-4. Payroll reports took our bookkeeper an extra 1-2 hours each payroll to compile the information; this added cost just made us move to a stand-alone payroll software in yr 2. When we realized the only use was to hold our legacy job travelers, it was time to extract that information and discontinue the software. However, they have no provisions or support to extract your data in bulk. We had to do one job at a time: extract/download. When we gave the 30-day notice to discontinue our month-to-month service, we were told we missed the cut-off to cancel and would have to pay ten more months.
Pros:
Bar code time tracking on jobs. Really help with shop metrics for individual performance.
Cons:
It isn't easy to learn and train new users. Even after well over a year of working with them, we could never get the QuickBooks integration to work correctly. (The QuickBooks integration for Enterprize just does not work.) We flew in their 1:1 trainer at $1200 per day, and even he could not get the QuickBooks integration to download correctly. He handed it back to their support team, who, in the end, quietly quit the project. The time clock for doing payroll requires much manual work to finalize the payroll hours. It's not a refined process; yes, it has reports for payroll, but it is more of an afterthought.
Complete company software
Comments:
The customer support was great while implementing the software and after implementation of the software.
The software exceeded our expectations.
Pros:
The ease of quoting parts for customers was decreased substantially. Real time reporting of the work flow in production. The ability to connect with the system offsite to give customers answers about their orders while meeting with them.
Cons:
There was a lot of data entry that had to be done to get the system working correctly for our company.
