Shop Floor Manufacturing Software is Compatible with Microsoft Vista

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.—Exact Software™ is committed to keeping its JobBOSS® shop floor manufacturing software in compliance with the latest Microsoft products. That commitment was evident in the company's recent announcement that Version 10 of Exact JobBOSS® provides support for the Microsoft Vista operating system. According to the statement from Exact, JobBOSS 10 also includes several usability enhancements and new features that are designed to improve the ease with which job shops, custom manufacturers, and high-tech shops working in the global economy can manage and improve performance.

In JobBOSS 10, one of the first job shop software solutions to be compliant with Windows Vista, users have full compliance with the 32-bit Business Edition versions of Microsoft Windows Vista Business, Vista Enterprise, and Vista Ultimate. As a result, users can take advantage of Vista's major enhancements, which include a new user interface, an improved search engine, and more powerful graphics technology. JobBOSS v10 will also continue to run on Windows 2000 and Windows XP workstations.

The usability enhancements and new functionality offered by JobBOSS 10 include vendor price breaks to ensure more accurate material pricing, as well as greater flexibility for transferring raw materials from a job back to stock. JobBOSS 10 also offers improved raw stock look-ups in both Order Processing and Purchasing, enabling users to more quickly and easily find materials to place on jobs or purchase orders (POs). As a result, job shops and custom manufacturers now have even more powerful capabilities for materials control and full inventory management for raw stock, hardware, supplies, and finished goods.

"JobBOSS 10 provides our customers with significant new functionality and enhancements for improved usability, flexibility, and performance," said Steve Massey, general manager for Exact JobBOSS, in the statement from Exact. "By upgrading to version 10, JobBOSS users will have even greater visibility and control over all aspects of their shops, helping them to increase productivity and profitability, and achieve their business goals."
