Create Quote
JobBOSS quoting lets you improve the accuracy of your quotes and reduce turn-around time. You can factor-in just about every aspect of part cost including routings, labor, materials, quantity breaks, and more. When you've completed the quote, you can send it to your customer via e-mail or fax without leaving JobBOSS. JobBOSS quote processing streamlines your entire quoting process because it:

• Saves you time by creating quotes with consistency.
• Handles multiple quantities - alternate routing, material price breaks and sub-contract costs.
• Copies automatically to a job. No re-entry of part information.
  

Enter Job
JobBOSS has the flexibility to handle just about any kind of job your shop requires. You can create a job without rekeying data by copying existing quotes or jobs, or you can quickly create a job from scratch. Create a job traveler to manage the job as it moves from work center to work center. A streamlined sales order entry process for those of you that ship a significant number of parts directly out of finished goods inventory lets you easily ship parts from stock. JobBOSS Order Processing:

• Handles single-level jobs, complex assemblies, blanket orders with releases, and time and material jobs.
• Handles jobs which require options when routing them including various run time methods, overlapping operations, and efficiency projections.
• Handles repetitive manufacturing through a standard operations file with default set-up and run times available to create routings.
• Allows various format options for printing the shop traveler.
• Handles unlimited text at the job level, individual routing level, and bill of material level.
  

• Spot the load on individual work centers.
• Deal with late material purchases and inventory issues and see the impact on the schedule. Know whether materials will be available if you move a job.
• Review the impact of late outside service operations on the schedule and see how specific jobs will be impacted.
• See the immediate impact on sub-assembly and component schedules when an assembly is moved.
  

Manage Material
As the needs of custom manufacturers changed over the past 20 years, from orders with one or two deliveries to long contract orders, the need to manage larger inventories or raw materials became important. JobBOSS material planning functionality has adapted to meet this need. It helps you match the supply of material with the demand for it.

• View the material supply and demand information on ONE screen, and then drill down into the details.
• View “material-on-hand” balance for each project so you can avoid material shortages.
• Increase throughput by ensuring material availability.

With JobBOSS you can order materials or services directly to a specific job, and then set the due date of the order to match the shop schedule (JIT purchasing). You can also order materials according to inventory requirements to maximize purchase price discounts then schedule delivery according to job requirements. Quickly create RFQs and Purchase Orders using time-phased material planning reports. Document all transactions with your vendor.

• Control your entire inventory through standard inventory management practices built into JobBOSS.
• Purchase according to your job needs rather than guessing when to order the material.
• Automatic conversions are built into JobBOSS for various raw material shapes and alloys.
• Track hardware and supply movement.
• See how your material costs have fluctuated over time by using the comprehensive history of material you have purchased for stock or directly for jobs.

• Monitor upcoming deliveries so you ship on time.
• Track all movement of sub contracted services to and from the vendor.
  

• Compare estimates vs. actuals hours and costs.
• Maintain part history information for each time you have run a specific part.
• Allow you to monitor the progress of the job while it is being manufactured on the shop floor so you can spot problems before they get out of hand.
