So some functions would be hard to notice what they do. > > **Cons**: sometimes looks a bit too complex. the layered software is good but over 20 options to click on one page can mean you only ever use the vital ones and not use the software to its full potential. > > very good, but some functions that make it better are not known. ----- ### "Must have to see future schedule and" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *1 December 2016* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Intuitive, Accurate, Easy to use, Customer Support > > **Cons**: Data dictionary is mostly in German with some English translation and can be hard to map variables when creating reports. > > First off, the JobPack group are very easy to work with. They are very attentive, and actually listen to what you are needing. The software itself is very intuitive and the schedule is very easy to view and change right out of the box, but the enhancements that JobPack developers have and can make has really set them apart from others I have looked at. The drag and drop feature is top notch. We went from knowing what the next week looked like, (and then guessing past that), to being able to see out as far as a year very accurately. Yes there will be some emergencies and jobs that get thrown in as a priority, but that is also where the software shines. Once you put your new job in, then schedule it, it will even show you what jobs will be pushed out and how much it pushed them out. HUGE\!\!\! ----- ### "JobPack is a Dinosaur" — 3.0/5 > **Leighann** | *5 March 2019* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I do not have great things to say. You would be better off using a matrixed excel spreadsheet. > > **Cons**: JobPack is overly complicated and is not easy to use. There are no settings to prevent you from changing a schedule that could end up ruining a line of production and lost revenue. Based off of requirements a suggested schedule would be nice. Along with weightings per a job. ----- ### "JobPack is already saving us time and money after only 6 months of use" — 5.0/5 > **Shawn** | *22 March 2016* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: JobPack is very easy to use and implement. You don't realize how valuable a scheduling software tool is until you get it in place and up and running. The ability for us to visualize our jobs on the shop floor, as well as know what jobs are on-time, early, or going to be late, is incredible. JobPack has been there for us every step of the way. Their support is incredible. They answer the phone when you call and are eager to help you. They are always very prompt in replying to e-mails (sometimes within just a minute or two after sending it). It is a great feeling know they will be there for us when we need them. > > **Cons**: The only thing I can think of is I wish they were located on the West Coast instead of the Midwest so I can take Pete and his team out to dinner to thank them for their support and help. ----- ### "After 2 months of use" — 5.0/5 > **Bill** | *8 August 2016* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its fast and easy to use for someone who knows what they are doing and what they want. The shop floor data collection offers document viewing and real time status of work in progress The graphical planning board is easy for everyone to understand including sales reps who need to know when their customers work will be complete. The mobile data collection app is great for field service or assy staff to see what their next job is and clock in and out for recording times > > **Cons**: Editing time clocks seems a bit clunky if shop operators make mistakes. > > We installed Jobpack 2 month ago and it has smoothed out our delivery issues. We now have visability of work on the shop floor and can see when it starts to go late before the due date so we can take action to remedy the issues ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/3001/jobpack?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/3001/jobpack) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
