JobBOSS

Exact JobBOSS consultants are the installation and implementation experts — delivering valuable application and business services and advice to an average of 120 customers each month. The team comes from a variety of manufacturing and business backgrounds, working in and providing consulting services to shops very similar to yours.

Consulting

Exact JobBOSS consultants have implemented 1000's of customers successfully. Over half started out working in shops that use JobBOSS. Consequently, they are able to quickly understand your business processes and show you how to use JobBOSS most effectively.

Application Consulting
  • Installation and initial implementation
  • End-user training
  • Follow-up training for new employees
  • Version upgrades
  • Database conversions
  • System check-ups

Exact JobBOSS ConsultingSome services require us to have direct access to your shop and employees. Other services can be effectively delivered remotely (via Webex and phone), which has the added benefit of eliminating travel expenses. We will help you determine whether your JobBOSS application consultant will work on-site at your shop or remotely, depending on the service they are providing.

Business Consulting
JobBOSS business consultants help your business become as efficient, productive and profitable as it can be. They go beyond teaching you how to gain the most value from using JobBOSS effectively. They look deep into your business processes to help you overcome fundamental business challenges and seize opportunities.  Business consultants accelerate your Return on Investment (ROI) by serving as your project manager – a member of your team focused on driving the implementation so that you can continue to focus on running your business.
  • Implementation Project Management
  • Growth Planning and Enablement
  • Business Process Optimization
  • Labor Utilization
  • Machine Utilization
  • Job Flow
  • Material Control
  • Quality Certification Support (ISO, AS, DI, etc…)

Often, business consulting is required as a result of a "triggering event", such as:

  • new ownership
  • acquisition
  • a major new account
  • new product line introduction
  • purchase of new hardware or software
  • un-met growth opportunities
  • or, degrading margins

The first step in any business consulting engagement is to understand your business strategy, current business landscape, and known challenges and opportunities.   Our business consultant performs a Comprehensive Business Review at your shop.  The review includes meetings with key members of management and staff to gain knowledge of your business, and time spent in your operation identifying the material and data flows of your business.  Actual required on-site time varies depending on the size and complexity of your business, but typically requires 1-3 days.  After the on-site, the consultant develops a written assessment and list of recommendations based on the business understanding gained while on-site.  The consultant reviews the assessment with you remotely, mutually agrees to next steps, and schedules additional consulting time accordingly.

New customers typically find it helpful to conduct a business review just prior to their JobBOSS implementation. It helps them modify and improve their core business processes, then implement JobBOSS using the new processes.

Experience shows that customers trying to manage their JobBOSS implementation without a dedicated project manager often take 2-3 times longer to implement.  Most implementations are left to resources who already have full time jobs, resulting in a lack of focus and disorganization of implementation tasks.  JobBOSS business consultants bring project management expertise to your business - ensuring completion of your JobBOSS implementation in the most timely and complete manner possible.  Don't allow the ROI from your JobBOSS purchase to be delayed!

Remote Business Assessment
Free, 1-2 hour telephone discussion learning the key aspects of your business, followed by a written proposal of initiatives.

Comprehensive Business Review
This 1-day, on-site review gives a JobBOSS consultant a hands-on view of your business. We will follow up with a written proposal of initiatives.

New customers typically find it helpful to conduct a business assessment or review just prior to their JobBOSS implementation. It helps them modify and improve their core business processes, then implement JobBOSS using the new processes. Existing customers often seek out a business review in situations where their key business metrics are degrading or they are experiencing demand for their services that exceeds their current capacity.
 
Customer Quote
Bob’s Ornamental utilizes remote consulting services to keep their JobBOSS system tuned.

“We love our Gold Key Support person. When they came and first set up JobBOSS, they tweaked things so the system fit our shop. JobBOSS was the right fit and our Gold Key Support person was an even better fit.

I’m a firm proponent of Gold Key Support. In the beginning, our Gold Key Support person came to Kansas City more than they wanted to. But now we probably haven’t seen them in about two or three years. If we have a problem, we call. They have had to take over my computer a couple of times. We sign in and they literally take over my computer and that is very cool. Then they just figure everything out and fix it. They’re a phone call away and we just love them. I don’t know what JobBOSS would do without them. …”

- Cheryl Kennedy, Corporate Secretary and Accountant, Bob’s Ornamental Iron, Kansas City, Kansas
