We purchased JobPack back in 2010 to integrate with our ERP system since our ERP did not have the level of flexibility we required and was too cumbersome to even begin using for a scheduling stand point. JobPack integrated our ERP work order information into their system so we didn't have to learn everything from scratch and office users could enter in data just like they were used too. Once we could visually identify what orders were going to be late and WHY, we were able to make the right decisions on where to allocate overtime hours, what jobs to outsource, and what we should group together in order to minimize change overs. After 6 months of running jobpack our IT person did a study on our KPI's and we determined we were getting as much as 17% more work through the shop in the same number of hours and increased our on-time delivery percentage by over 20%. JobPack has been a game changer for us so if your ERP vendor wants to charge for pricey upgrades, or promises a graphical scheduling tool..save yourself the time and money and take a look at JobPack.
