A huge weight off his shoulders
Before JobBOSS², Valley Design Corp. used a combination of a homegrown system and Sage. Head of IT, Rob Indars says, "Going to [JobBOSS²] was a godsend. We had spent so much time on double entry. I can create a job traveler in half the time it used to take, and it takes a few minutes for repeat jobs. It’s an order of magnitude faster." His colleague who handles work orders used to take half a day to enter around 10 jobs. RFQs, responses, quotes, orders and travelers were all separate and needed to be reconciled. Now, he saves a significant amount by copying over repeat entries and since data flows between modules.
Because Valley Design Corp has customers who have Department of Defense work, they moved over to JobBOSS² on GovCloud as soon as it received ITAR compliance. Rob had been asking about ITAR for a while. Though it's about 30% more expensive than Rob contracting directly with Amazon GovCloud, Rob says, " Hosting my data in-house is not as secure. I don't want to deal with the internal risks, and backups are only so good. I don't have to check backup reports. I've heard of all the ransomware stories and would rather put the burden on ECI to fight hackers. It's a huge weight off and really nice to be hands off."
