JOBSCOPE

JOBSCOPE develops, installs and supports manufacturing ERP systems for companies whose work is driven by customer orders. It concentrates on discrete order-driven manufacturers rather than trying to suit every kind of factory. The vendor says thousands of manufacturers across the world use it.

What JOBSCOPE offers

• Job costing — shows labour and material costs as transactions happen.
• Project management — tracks deliverables and watches for risks to the critical path.
• Planning and materials — covers MRP, estimating, budgeting and material control.
• Financials — includes finance and billing, with CAD integration.
• Deployment choices — runs on Microsoft SQL Server or on IBM iSeries, with hosted options available.
• Training — online videos and classroom courses through Jobscope U.

Who it works with

The system fits engineer-to-order, make-to-order and assemble-to-order manufacturers, job shops, government contractors, industrial equipment makers, aerospace and defence contractors, and maintenance, repair and overhaul businesses.
