Owner

They listen to any suggestions to improve the program, plus the customer service is responsive and knowledgeable. It has been a great experience working with Realtrac and the support team.

owner

However it starts every Saturday and Sunday as well.adding to peoples hours who are not working, which in turn make trying to find the cost of manufacturing useless.

Operations

It has also changed how we manage our inventory by consolidating our warehouse. Realtrac has proven to be an effective tool and everyone in the office enjoys its ease of use.

President

The likes, In short, the ability to build and track multi level BOM's while having Shop management, inventory visibility and  scheduling features. These have long been the desirable features.

I moved half way across the country and here I am again with Realtrac, it made my transition into my new job very easy. It is well worth the money spent and the customer service is great.

Quality Manager

Overall Realtrac is great for our small business of around 50 people. It is also nice that a touchscreen shop tablet is an option for easier and faster job logging.

Project Manager

I am completely satisfied with how easy it was to get this new software set up with the help of the Realtrac Technical Support Team.

Director of Operations

The experience has been very positive. As a small business we didn't have the personnel time to implement it as fast as we would have liked.

I enjoy the ease of use and how efficient it is when it comes to tracking job statuses.

We have used this software since 2005. The new owners and all the improvements of the software have made it one of the best investments we have made.

VP OPERATIONS

Timeclock is easy for HR, and tracking down where a job is in the manufacturing process from a remote location is easy as well.

Integration and customer service was almost non-existent and very difficult.

Operations Support

When we have an issue, we can't see what transactions took place prior to see where the problem occur to make our qty off or see any negative qty's.

Vice President / General Manager

Materials and inventory management is difficult to manage. It should be possible to assign multiple units of measure to a part.

Office Mgr

This system was very easy to set up and begin using.

Considered  it would be a waste of their time to show me one thing. In minutes of working together,  letting me drive proved to quickly develop and  understand the how and why's.

JobBOSS²

Quality Systems Manager

It does help create meaningful process instructions that helps the manufacturing process flow more smoothly. It helps track shipments and OTD which is beneficial to our organization.

OFFICE MANGER

I like the integration with QuickBooks for small businesses, I recommend this option instead of using the accounting in JobBoss. I am extremley happy with the way this works.

Office Manager

Support staff are nice and helpful and they always walk me through anything I've mucked up. The program is easy to use, it's not real complicated, more user friendly then some packages out there.

The price was competitive for the features offered. Since purchasing the software in 2002, we have continued to be impressed by their support and commitment to their customers.

Production Planner

I like that this is fairly easy to use. Also, it is somewhat intuitive and has some good "canned" reports that are already included.

This often led to data entry errors, information not available when needed, and frustration throughout the organization.

Production supervisor

I like it's ease of use, customization options, and excellent support.

Engineer

The software is powerful and easy to use a majority of the time. Support is helpful and readily available.

Employees find it easy to log there time for attendance and against jobs. The integration of quoting to the order to the invoice is excellent.

Use the parts you have correctly, and fully. Get buy in from everyone or you will end up with bad data.

Operations Manager

Ease of use and good tech support. Very similar to quickbooks.

ESTIMATOR

Job Cost Summary : All the Information tracked gives the Actual material & labour that goes into the job and as been very informative and useful in improving the Job pricing process.

I like that I can run the complete shop through one software. From quoting, purchasing, quality, scheduling and tracking.

JobBoss is a great system for integrating all aspects of manufacturing industries.

Manufacturing Engineer

Jobboss has been a great ERP system for our size company. It has allowed us to keep track of material jobs, and get things done in our fast paced environment.

It is very user friendly and in a logical format.

Most of their updates are just "bug fixes. They have an idea portal for users to submit feedback, but I seriously doubt they even consider any of these.

This was cutting edge software and support when we purchased it 17 years ago, but over the past 8-9 years they have made little to no effort into developing and expanding it further.
