JobBOSS² – Bewertungsseite 10

Vorteile

Ability to cutomize to fit your situation

Nachteile

not really anything that doesn't work as needed

Vorteile

Part creation is very flexible and easy to use

Nachteile

Sometimes searches could be refined better

Vorteile

It 's cheap and there's a reason. The secret to the low list price for the software is that you will pay for every single second of support implementation and training trust me this is the razor handle razor blade model of business if I've ever seen

Nachteile

Where do I begin, I have had nothing but trouble with this company since they cashed my check.if you think you need even the slightest amount of support do not buy the software

Vorteile

JobBoss is really a boss for helping organizations in monitoring progress of every transactions done, whether for delivery, inventory, payroll this really made our work easy.

Nachteile

it is quite hard to navigate, plus it doesn't get the changes easily. but so far its manageable though.

Vorteile

Reporting is great, data analysis, organization, ease of use, shop flow, quickview can be used from anywhere in the shop, quality package is great

Nachteile

Reports are limited, no cloud based usage, email is inconsistent, custom reports are expensive and should be offered with the package.

Vorteile

I like the functionality and the resources that are available throughout the program. JobBoss fits our custom metal fabrication and machine shop very well.

Nachteile

The exporting of reports to Excel can be a cumbersome process. The layout in JobBoss doesn't transition well into Excel.

Vorteile

Estimating, job tracking, quality module, everything about your business is at your finger tips the time savings is incredible.

Nachteile

Not many, it would be nice to work backwards on occasion as we do some on the fly jobs and it would be nice to turn jobs back into quotes.

Vorteile

Easy to train, not bloated with bells and whistles. Each component/module is straight forward and the help files do a good job of giving an overview of that function.

Nachteile

The client/server characteristics, not being able to refresh but having to go out of screens and back in.

Vorteile

it is organize and we can find information very easy, we are working on on scheduling to make it more properly

Nachteile

easy

Vorteile

E2 maintains crucial information about job pricing, scheduling and time management. It has reports that combines this data to supervise jobs more efficiently.

Nachteile

Wish it had an easy calendar format in scheduling module to move dates and more options in the report formats.

Vorteile

The Quality Mod is worth its weight in gold for our ISO system.

Nachteile

Can't customize the e-mail sending note section.

Vorteile

This product is helping to streamline our manufacturing process by tracking which phase of production each order is in. It is also helping to track inventory and minimize redundancies encountered in our former system.

Nachteile

Although we purchased the accounting add-on, it is not up to par with our previous system. We do not utilize a third party payroll system, and payroll is really not supported in E2. Also, commission payments to sales people do not flow through from order initiation to payment of the rep.

Vorteile

The ease of the functionalities. Well labeled points and accuracy. The reports that can be customized to our individual use is very helpful.

Nachteile

The con's are that sometimes it locks up or is slow entering data. If I am working on a lengthy order it starts to slow down.

Vorteile

Interface if fairly straightforward to figure out.
Customer service is consistently helpful..

Nachteile

Multiple screens required to make changes to jobs, POs, etc.
Custom utilities required for many activities that should have been native.
Material mastering needs redone from scratch with added fields/features
Many inconsistencies in searchs/lookups to many different behaviors. each search field needs to start displaying as you start typing with no secondary popups like for looking up customers.
Open tabs should be across top
Search field should be in "ribbon" at top of entry screen

Vorteile

E2 Shop system is very user friendly and is perfect for manufacturing job shops. It has everything you need from estimating to accouting.

Nachteile

if would be easier to open packing list in orders, audit section so that it does not require to switch one screen to another.

Vorteile

That it is easy to use on a day to day basis. We can look at information in real time.

Nachteile

Because we are job shop using the scheduling is a little difficult. We have had a few training sessions on using it however it doesn't seem to work as easily as other modules. Also something that really annoys me is that I cannot set the Tax default to Yes on the Vendor Invoice module. And I think I should have an option of typing in the PO# to bring up a receiver also in Vendor Invoicing. Also we feel we should have the option to look up a job# in Order entry by using the Quote #.

Vorteile

Easy but does everything that we require (probably more than what we use it for). Many ways of searching/finding information. Real-time updates on everything in system.

Nachteile

A few glitches where we are booted out one in a while in the middle of doing something but not sure if that's a software or hardware issue. Not really a con but some things I'd like to see changed or added but usually only think of it when I'm in the middle of doing something and think "...well it would be nice if it did so-and-so..."

Vorteile

At first glance, it appears to a very simple program and easy to work with.

Nachteile

It is cumbersome and clunky. Online training is provided but we have found that often the training is incomplete and really doesn't answer specific questions we may have.

Making changes within the program are challenging and often it is unclear whether the change will actually do what we need it to.

Vorteile

Keeps the shop well organized, keeps track of what employees are doing

Nachteile

It never saves any of my progress, glitches out often, support is sub par, constantly on hold and they never have a correct answer to my question.

Vorteile

I like that there are more features available to take us into electronic scheduling etc. tracking of jobs feature is good but not quite complete.

Nachteile

I wish there were more locally offered specific topic trainings offered, half day seminars on scheduling etc.

Vorteile

The reports for the accounting side is easy to locate. Love the way everything is setup in shoptech

Nachteile

We are testing the beta and it just going to take a while to get used to the system. i do not like the fact that i can not use two E2's at the same time.

Vorteile

Intuitive product, and quick, clear tech support!

Nachteile

Due to the nature of our niche job-shop business, some of our needs/wants can't be customized in. However, we came from NO ERP software, so we can work around it.

Vorteile

The software is many options that you can use or not use. It is user friendly but I think the customer support is the best.

Nachteile

The least item I am not fond of is in the accounting module that has required information needed even if you don't use that.

Vorteile

The E2 Shop Software has changed our business in the best way possible. E2 is well thought out and easy to use. We can't imagine running our shop without E2. It keeps everything tracked and organized. We have noticed a huge change in our productivity. Thank you E2!

Nachteile

I wish I could copy and paste more information in the program. I also wish it had an easier compatibility with my accounting software.

Vorteile

The connectivity between all processes is easy to use which saves time to follow each job as it moves through the shop.

Nachteile

Being able to do personal editing is sometimes cumbersome and it would be nice to add a line in the various stages of an order.

Vorteile

Haven't had a chance to use the program live yet.

Nachteile

Training/learning videos. Videos are very short and only touch on the very basics. On line classes are only available at certain times and for one section at a time. It would be much more convenient to have the classes made into videos that are available to view at anytime from the help section of the software. From the short videos I have watched there does not seem to be a flow in the processes. Looks like you need to exit one section in order to complete the next step instead of being able to continue to next process from same page. IE filling orders and creating packing slip for shipping.

Vorteile

Ease of use when operating the software
Customer service is always readily available
Upgradeable modules
Barcoding features

Nachteile

Costs for maintenance, the fees for hosting can add up , but migrating to online seems to be the future of these softwares

Vorteile

Does everything we need and more. Everyone in the office and manufacturing can stay up date on production.

Nachteile

Would be good if you could edit forms and fields on forms. Would also be good if the calendar could be integrated with outlook or google.

Vorteile

Cost, the price is attractive up front but when you implement you soon find out the short comings. This solution may be good for a 3 person shop that would like to work in the stone age. Good starter solution but it will not help you grow.

Nachteile

Outdated, hard to run reports, errors, no spell check no cut and paste in some fields. It really works against you. We went with E2 years ago because we thought it was a good solution- it is sad to see that they do not keep up with the times. No real improvements in years, same old stumbling blocks and roadblocks. Really no spell check? I have custom quotes go out with typos...

Vorteile

Great functions. Customer support is knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Most of the business can be managed with this software.

Nachteile

We had a hard time with material at first, but after taking online classes we can now control our inventory.

Vorteile

The ease of use.

Nachteile

Needs a better accounting package and I think the training should be more affordable. Also, need more local consultants.

Vorteile

-integrates well with other software we use
-feature rich with many different options
-changes can be made fairly easy

Nachteile

-we get many different errors very regularly
-can't kick users off individually
-doesn't recognize changes very quickly

Vorteile

It is easy to track jobs for quoting thru invoicing and easy to transfer dat form similar jobs you have done in the past to new jobs.

Nachteile

It is a little complex to set up and the search feature could be improved by storing you previous entry

Vorteile

Very user-friendly, except for the scheduling module. I use the accounting side more than the production side, and I find it very easy to use. If you run into a problem, customer service will always help you out and is very friendly.

Nachteile

The scheduling system. It really depends on the product that's manufactured. Sometimes, we have hot jobs that need to be put into production right away, and that seems to cause problems. The scheduling module is very in-depth, and in order to understand it, I believe you need to have a background or some knowledge of production scheduling to operate this part of the system properly.

Vorteile

It tracks information for each job so you don't have to enter it yourself, which saves time and money.

Nachteile

The way the invoice and packing list information are not located in the same places when they are printed. This makes them harder to match up for us and our customers. For example, PO# and PART#.

Vorteile

Very stable program

Nachteile

Not able to customize as would like.

Vorteile

The software does a great job keeping track of all of our information.

Nachteile

I wish that there was a feature that allows for users to click on a calendar date that will just pull up information like what job is starting and ending

Vorteile

It's incredibly user friendly and streamlined for the most part. Very powerful with lots of report options etc.

Nachteile

It can be very laggy/slow. It has a tendency to crash at times. It needs to just generally be optimized better.

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to use and get all the things I need for the products we ship out on a daily basis. I am still fairly new to using it so I'm sure there are a lot more things i will learn about this program that will benefit me and the company I work for.

Nachteile

As of right now since I am fairly new to this program I don't have any cons.

Vorteile

Ease of use.

Vorteile

Functions well and achieves the fundamental management objectives of any small job shop or production facility

Nachteile

The software has glitches and hickups. It could be much more user friendly, and the asthetics are circa 1980

Vorteile

E2 has dramatically increased the overall efficiency in quoting, entering orders and shipping. Having all the job documentation linked and available in one spot is great. The quality module is key to maintaining our Quality Management system.
Both support and sales provide excellent and prompt responses to problems or questions. Very friendly and easy to work with. Having technicians log on remote to solve problems is a great feature.

Nachteile

UPS shipping interface for canadian customers - when we first tried to implement a few years ago it was not successful. Hoping to try again in 2015

Vorteile

Easy to use. Great Customer service. Many options for running reports.

Vorteile

I personally have only been using shop tech for a short time but I found it very user friendly right from the start. The other users here are very happy with it and also all of our customers and partners that are using the system also speak highly of it as well.

Vorteile

keeps information organized and easy to access at a moments notice
allows accurate calculations and costing

Nachteile

Nothing. I have enjoyed all aspects of this program

Vorteile

Customizable

Nachteile

Somewhat hard to make it do what I want, instead of what it wants
