Switch from JobBoss / E2
JobBoss did its job. That was twenty years ago.
ECI JobBoss, E2, M1, JobBoss² — most of them still run on a server in your building, and most of the roadmap goes into merging them rather than moving any one forward. Your data doesn't have to stay there.
Why shops leave JobBoss and E2
Our migration tooling brings all your historical data across, not just open jobs. You're running in weeks, and twenty years of history comes with you.
On a server in your building
Backups, updates, VPNs, and a machine somebody has to babysit. Working from home means working around it.
Cloud, with nothing to maintain
Access from anywhere on any device. Automatic updates, no server, no hosting bill, no IT contractor on retainer.
Twenty years of history you can't get at
The data is in there. Getting an answer out of it means finding the person who knows where to look, or paying for a custom report.
Your history comes with you, and AI can read it
Our migration tooling brings all historical data across — not just open jobs. Once it's in, ask questions of it directly instead of commissioning a report.
Your vendor is consolidating, not building
E2, JobBoss, M1, JobBoss² — the roadmap is about merging products, not improving the one you bought.
We ship every week
Our backlog is driven by customer requests and improvements land continuously. The product updates page shows what shipped last week, and the week before that.
Four clicks to find anything
Dated screens mean training takes longer, and the shop floor quietly routes around the system instead of using it.
An interface people use without training
Adoption on the shop floor is where ERP projects die. Live job status, instructions, drawings, and files where the work actually happens.
My experience with StartProto has been fantastic. It feels like it was designed from the manufacturing floor up and then expanded into ERP capabilities, which is different from anything else out there. Their training support has also been great—they’re available off-hours, which works well with my busy schedule. That level of support makes StartProto stand out.
