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.

10/10 Would Recommend JobBOSS²
JobBOSS² very much helps us with inventory and keeps that cost effective for us. The job traveler and going out into the shop is very handy to put any information we want on there. For all of our users, everyone is bought in and likes using this system a lot.
Pros
#1 - We really like how robust JobBOSS² is and how much it covers for us. Also, with so many features and capabilities, it is also very customizable and allows us to change just about anything we want. I used to use JobBOSS and am really enjoying the improved experience with JobBOSS². Next, the regular updates are fantastic, keeping us up to date with the newest features and enhancements of JobBOSS². Lastly, we love that we can run the system on either Windows or Mac computers.
Cons
With order processing and looking at our order list, when we want to order by job or order number, the saving remains at a default setting. When we customize this, it does not save over time. When we leave the system, it goes back to the default settings. Also, it does not allow other users to see my work, still resetting to the default every time.

7 yrs of use - just could not get it to deliver
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.

5 Stars for JobBOSS²
Overall, the system is reliable and doesn't go down - I don't lose important things that I keep in the system very often. It works for what I need it to do.
Pros
We really like the structural layout of JobBOSS². It is repetitive in how it's laid out, so the logic and flow of the system is very intuitive.
Cons
While the system worked very well for us as our one single company, we have had some complications with bringing newly acquired businesses onto the system. We had some custom code written to accommodate this, but is still not functioning properly for us. We cannot easily combine multiple companies into the system.

We Love JobBOSS²
Overall, JobBOSS² works very good for us. The capability of this ERP is awesome.
Pros
JobBOSS² is easy to use. It's very flexible and user friendly. Also, it is easy to bring new employees onto the system, teach them how to use it, and quickly get them using the system effectively.
Cons
One of our integrations is not syncing up properly - we're struggling to get the data points over from Paperless Parts into the system. Also, there seems to be a ceiling on scalability with the number of parts of our products, as some have 600 or 700 components - this can be difficult to manage.
