JobBOSS² review
A broad ERP and MRP suite for job shops that links planning, purchasing, production, and accounting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
JobBOSS² is a quote-to-cash ERP and MRP platform for job shops, machine shops, fabrication businesses, and make-to-order manufacturers. It brings together estimating, quote-to-order conversion, bills of materials, inventory, material planning, purchasing, production scheduling, shop-floor data collection, quality management, shipping, accounting, and reporting. Cloud access, mobile workflows, API availability, and an on-premise option give it a broad deployment scope for manufacturers managing work from quoting through delivery.
Pricing is contact-sales, and JobBOSS² does not offer a free plan. Its value proposition comes from combining several operational areas in one system rather than focusing only on material planning. Core planning capabilities include material forecasting, reorder levels, automated purchasing, production scheduling, capacity planning, workload balancing, and job costing with estimated-versus-actual reporting. AI-assisted BOM creation adds another quoting and engineering workflow, while quality and compliance workflows extend the platform beyond purchasing and scheduling. Buyers should choose it when they want connected ERP and MRP processes rather than a standalone planning tool.
The platform supports web, iOS, Android, and API access, with integrations including QuickBooks, ECI MES, CADLink, Paperless Parts, KnowledgeSync, Alora, uniPoint, and Payments. That ecosystem can suit businesses connecting estimating, accounting, manufacturing execution, design, notifications, and payments. JobBOSS² is less suitable for buyers seeking a narrowly focused scheduler or a product centered on verified multi-level BOM and multi-site planning. Those requirements should be evaluated closely before selection. For job shops that need purchasing automation alongside scheduling, inventory, shop-floor collection, and accounting connectivity, its breadth is the main reason to consider it.
