Unleash the full power of the JobBOSS² Data Collection app for tablets! Gain transparency into your shop’s manufacturing process with just the click of a button. One of the most powerful features of JobBOSS² is the mobile responsiveness, so your team can access the Data Collection app directly from their workstation with just the tablet and a wifi connection. With this app, the employee can scan to start or stop a job, scan the routing step he or she is working on, enter the work center, and begin getting real-time information. Right from your tablet, you will also have the ability to track set up time and enter pieces good as well as pieces scrapped. Additional benefits include: - Eliminate time cards that may be hard-to-read, inaccurate, or downright wrong. Now you can pay your team for the exact amount of time they’ve spent in the shop, not the amount that they’ve written on their manual card. - Track employee time in the building and employee time spent on the job so you can maximize productivity and eliminate wasted hours.
