JobPRO

JobPRO is enterprise software for controlling workshops, built for engineering businesses that run make-to-order production, repairs and maintenance. It follows each job across the shop floor and acts as a front end to an existing accounting or ERP package.

The product comes from UniSource Software Services, a South African team that says it has focused on job-production software for the job-shop industry for more than three decades.

• Quoting — consistent quotes for complex work that follow the firm's own pricing matrix.
• Production scheduling — planning for shop-floor operations.
• Service and equipment management — field and asset maintenance, with technicians allocating stock and services on site.
• Costing and data capture — job costing, materials costing, procurement and shop-floor data collection.
