It is a manufacturing ERP with quote-based pricing starting around $3,000/year across Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers, targeting SMB job shops with 10–100 employees.
Why we rate itMerges E2 Shop System and original JobBOSS into a modern cloud ERP — rare depth for custom manufacturers at a non-enterprise price point.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Slow: ERP onboarding requires implementation planning, data migration, and staff training.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Per-user licensing and module add-ons raise costs noticeably beyond 50 users.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: deep proprietary workflows; data exports exist but switching costs are high.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
