Enhancements offer job shops improved visibility into work assignments.
Minneapolis, Minnesota – March 21, 2005 – Exact Software™, a leading provider of solutions that connect the people, processes and knowledge essential to an organization, today announced the availability of JobBOSS® version 8.1, the company’s shop management software for job shops, mixed mode and custom manufacturers.
JobBOSS Version 8.1 includes major enhancements that increase the ease and intuitiveness of the product. The enhanced Data Collection system simplifies the data entry process driving toward a paperless shop. Users have online visibility into their daily work assignments and activities and can then drill down into the details of a job to see routing, picks, buys and notes. Tools in this release get users up and running quickly. Administrative functions have been consolidated which means less time is spent cleaning data so more time can be focused on maximizing production.
“Previous to implementing JobBOSS, we had no job costing,” said Ron Franke, CEO of Maxcam, a CNC milling shop that specializes in engineered plastics. “We’re now confident about our pricing procedures. We have a high-volume of quotes going out, we now know what the jobs cost, and that our estimates are accurate. We’re also seeing major benefits through the transparency of time and attendance, which my employees have found very useful.”
Exact JobBOSS® is an easy-to-use shop management system that enables job shops to increase control over their entire businesses, from quoting to shipping, in order to reduce costs while improving customer satisfaction. JobBOSS improves productivity, profitability and competitiveness by providing management functionalities that deliver high levels of visibility and control over all aspects of the shop.
“We are continually working with customers, such as Maxcam, to incorporate the business needs of our customers into the improvements of the products and services we offer,” said Steve Massey, general manager for Exact JobBOSS. “JobBOSS version 8.1 gives our customers a competitive advantage by making the data needed to make critical business decisions visible, resulting in higher productivity.”
