JobBOSS2

What is JobBOSS2?

JobBOSS2 is a cloud-native ERP system for small and midsize job shops and make-to-order manufacturers. It is sold by ECI Software Solutions and combines the earlier JobBOSS and E2 Shop System products into one platform. It handles estimating, order management, scheduling, job costing, inventory and shipping.

Key features of JobBOSS2

• Quoting and estimating: build quotes and estimates for one-off parts and manage order entry.
• Scheduling and capacity: schedule jobs against capacity and track progress from one dashboard.
• Job costing and tracking: follow cost and status of each job on the shop floor.
• Inventory and purchasing: manage materials, purchase orders and stock levels.
• Quality and shipping: quality control records and shipping management.
• AI-assisted BOMs: the vendor describes drafting bills of materials from PDFs, spreadsheets, images and CSV files, which users review and edit.

How JobBOSS2 works

A shop enters quotes, converts them to orders, and releases jobs with routings and materials. Scheduling shows capacity, shop-floor tracking updates job status and cost, and purchasing and inventory keep materials aligned to open jobs. Finished work moves through quality checks and shipping to invoicing. ECI says customer support is staffed in the United States.

Who uses JobBOSS2?

JobBOSS2 targets make-to-order manufacturers with one-off or low-volume parts, such as machine shops and fabricators. ECI built it to handle the flexibility these shops need compared with repetitive manufacturing ERP.

JobBOSS2 pricing

JobBOSS2 does not publish pricing; plans are quoted by the vendor based on shop size and requirements.

JobBOSS2 integrations

ECI sells JobBOSS2 as a shop-floor and back-office system, and buyers should ask the vendor which accounting, CAD and EDI connections are supported for their setup.

JobBOSS2 alternatives

E2 Shop System is the sibling product now merged into JobBOSS2, so existing E2 users are a natural migration case. Epicor Kinetic is a broader manufacturing ERP that suits larger or more complex operations. Infor and QAD target midsize and large manufacturers, with more depth for multi-site and repetitive production than a job-shop focused tool.
