### "Ontario Job Shop owner"

March 3, 2017

5.0

Excellent Customer support and the ability to problem solve Job Shop issues with product knowledge. We utilize 90 percent of E2 in our business and are happy with its performance in all areas. It is a very powerful tool that creates valuable reports in which we can make knowledgeable decisions based on facts to drive the business forward on a daily basis.

Pros

Consistency between modules makes ease of use sense

Cons

Scheduler does not go deep enough for our needs

### "We are a sheet metal fabrication job shop and have utilized ShopTech over nearly 20 years. "

May 17, 2018

5.0

Pros

The software enables us to track our jobs throughout the manufacturing process and is extremely easy to use. Their customer services representatives are knowledgeable and eager to assist. We also utilize their quality module for creating RMA/DMRs.

Cons

The aspect of ShopTech that I like least is probably the reporting capabilities. I find the "canned" reports to be lacking.

### "We have used the product since 1997 and would be lost without it. Information is at our finger tip"

May 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

We like the fact we can setup routing and have standard parts flow through the shop or we can use it to track rush jobs without routing for those emergency customer maintenance needs that often arise when customer's equipment breaks down.

Cons

We have no specific cons for this software. We have not made extensive use of the scheduling portion of the program.

Cons

Some aspects of use are counter-intuitive and rely heavily on keyboard shortcuts; needs more end-user tools for individual customization.

### "Review of E2 for a electronics design and fab company"

June 3, 2016

3.5

Pros

The best aspect about using E2 is access to support when required. Over the 2 years we have been using this product, we have reached out to technical support numerous times to maximize the value out of all the modules. Most of the support staff at E2 are very knowledgeable about the product or would point us to a more senior technical person if a challenge is not easily fixed. In addition, E2 takes customer feedback on usability and improvements very seriously and most recommendations are provided in follow-on updates quickly.

Cons

Product speed can certainly be improved upon. Given this is SQL based system, product reaction time and processing time was below expectations upon initial implementation. However, many speed related improvements have been made by E2 to correct for those issues. While improvements areas still exist in this area, it has become better over time for the SQL version.

### "User friendly software"

February 16, 2017

4.0

I have been on JobBOSS for over 10 years now and am happy with our decision to go with them. After spending a considerable amount of time comparing other software options, I felt JobBOSS offered the most user-friendly interface while at the same time giving me the functionality and reports I need most.

Pros

user friendly interface.

Cons

some functions are not explained well on how they work like costing, but once you know it makes sense.

### "We've had a good experince with E2"

June 8, 2017

4.0

The customer service is great!

Pros

We like E2's ability to give us costing on a job in real time and compare it to our estimate. further the reporting function is very flexible.

Cons

We find the formatting awkward and inflexible. Also, we experience loss of data from time to time within the inventory process. Bins will combine and material will disappear, without explanation.

### "We are happy with it, it brought the company to the next higher level of business professional. "

February 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ease of entering purchase orders, rfq's, and all entry data. Many options for searching especially good that there is by description if need be.

Cons

In some instances there are too many steps to make a simple entry or to make an adjustment. When processing multiple invoices for the same company it doesn't automatically enter the general Ledger account.

### "Needed job tracking and it has helped tremendously"

March 1, 2017

3.0

Suggest paying to have someone to load in your info for estimating. We misinterpreted one field and was losing jobs because we were too high but finally figured it out the hard way.

Pros

Fairly easy to use but I recommend taking the class to get a good understanding of the basics before beginning.

Cons

Initial package reasonable but costly to add on as well as to customize with your business logo/info.

### "Great Product"

October 17, 2016

4.0

We have been using the E2 for almost 10 months now. It was very simple to implement and is easy to navigate. Customer service is great!

Pros

Very simply to use. Syncing E2 with QuickBooks seems to be working well. We are a job shop so things move very quickly. From quoting a job to work orders to shipping, it all can be done fairly quickly and easily. Customer service is spot on. Anytime I need to talk or communicate, they are there to help with a phone call or a web-x.

Cons

Reports lack customization for our specific needs, it can be done but there is a cost for that. E2 does not have the ability to spell check, so I'm updating in Word and pasting data into comments. E2 only has the ability to have one screen open at a given time which can be very cumbersome when you need to review your data. You can open a second E2 system on your computer, but as we are a small company we do not have that many seats in to do this all the time. Global scheduling has the ability to auto run behind the scenes, but again needs another seat.
