Overview

What is JobBOSS²?

JobBOSS² is an AI ERP software option from ECI for job shops and make-to-order manufacturers that need quoting, scheduling, job costing, inventory, data collection, accounting, and shop visibility. It is designed for smaller and mid-sized manufacturers where production work changes by customer order. Its main strength is practical job-shop control, especially for teams moving beyond spreadsheets, QuickBooks workarounds, or disconnected shop systems.

JobBOSS² works best when buyers run job-based production and need clearer visibility into estimates, actual costs, scheduling, and shop-floor progress. It is not the best fit for complex process manufacturers or large enterprise ERP programs. Pricing is quote-based, and implementation still requires item, routing, labor, and cost discipline. Buyers should confirm ECI packaging, support, integrations, and whether JobBOSS² or another ECI manufacturing product fits better.
