Machine Shops
CNC, manual, Swiss, screw machine. 3–15 people. The heartland customer.
JobBoss has 400 menus you’ll never touch and charges you $150 per user, per month, for the privilege. JobQuote IQ does what you actually do all day — quote, track, invoice — for a flat $149. Unlimited users. Ship in 30 minutes.
Every big shop software promises the world. Here’s what shops tell us when they show up at JobQuote IQ asking to switch.
“Most of our customers are up and running in 2 to 4 weeks. We’ll assign an implementation specialist, schedule weekly check-ins, and have you fully configured by the end of the quarter.”
Three months later you’re still configuring burden rates and part classes. Your bookkeeper hates you. The implementation specialist went on vacation in month two. JobQuote IQ: 30 minutes. Company name, labor rate, first customer. Done.
“Per-user pricing scales with your shop. You only pay for what you need. Most shops find the value proposition very compelling compared to building custom solutions.”
Your 5-person shop is $750/month. Your spouse who checks invoices on Saturdays? Either she’s another seat, or she uses your login. Your summer helper? Another seat. JobQuote IQ: $149 flat. 1 user or 50. Same price.
“Our platform handles scheduling, capacity planning, ISO compliance, routing, BOMs, quality management, shop-floor time tracking, and full ERP integration out of the box.”
You use 4 of those 47 modules. The other 43 make your screens slow, your data entry mandatory, and your monthly bill painful. JobQuote IQ: five things, done well. Quote, track, invoice, customers, QuickBooks sync. Nothing else. That’s the product.
Every competitor has a 3-month onboarding. Every one. JobQuote IQ has one afternoon.
Enter your email, set a password, type your shop name and a default labor rate. That’s the setup. No ImplementationSpecialist™ scheduling a call with you. No 47-field configuration wizard. You’re in.
Company name, address, contact email, payment terms. Tax-exempt flag if they’re a reseller. Done. Every quote, job, and invoice for this customer will remember who they are forever.
Pick the customer, name the job, add line items for material, labor, and outside services. Tax auto-calculates. Hit “Send.” A branded PDF lands in the customer’s inbox with your logo on it.
Customer accepts — quote becomes a job automatically. Ship it, click “Invoice,” send it. QuickBooks sync pushes the customer and invoice across. Zero double-entry. Ever.
Same workflow — customer, quote, job, invoice. Different materials, different units, different rates. JobQuote IQ handles all four with the same three screens.
CNC, manual, Swiss, screw machine. 3–15 people. The heartland customer.
Laser, waterjet, press brake, weld, finish. Multiple operations per part.
TIG, MIG, stick. In-shop, mobile, on-site. Travel and per-diem built in.
Millwork, cabinetry, furniture. Board-foot pricing. Progress billing.
A 5-person shop on the Shop plan is $29.80 per user. The same shop on JobBoss is $750 a month. You do the math.
