Make to Order
Challenges you face:
Custom manufacturers and make-to-order manufacturers (MTO) operate the most difficult of all manufacturing environments—one that’s infinitely variable. You carve out your competitive advantage by outperforming the rest of the pack and it’s seldom easy. Work in process can outweigh short term capacity. Bottlenecks can prevent upstream tasks from being processed on time. The clock is running from order to delivery.
JobBOSS² Shop Management Software is the industry’s most relied upon ERP solution (Enterprise Resource Planning) for small to mid-sized custom manufacturers and MTO manufacturers. It enables you to compress lead times and deliver faster. It offers close-up and enterprise-wide views for improving performance and profitability. Gain the flexibility to reschedule, and the visibility to see material shortages early on. With JobBOSS², you will deliver value within the shortest lead time possible.
JobBOSS² is built just for custom manufacturers
- Manage constant change. “Things changed. We need that delivered tomorrow.” “Add another hundred parts to the order.” Use JobBOSS² to effortlessly handle customer change orders to ensure on-time ship dates and improve service.
- Benefit from automated processes. Especially for contract manufacturers, gaining efficiencies from repeated processes can save man hours and boost profits. Enter data once, share with the shop.
