Here is what our customers
are saying:
We have been using JobOrder for over three years and it has made a huge difference in the operational efficiency of our company. Our studio manager loves the SmartScheduler feature which allows her to dynamically drag and drop schedule everyone's time weeks in advance. Our staff loves knowing what they'll be working on and what's coming up. During our weekly management meetings, we review and analyze the many standard and custom reports that JobOrder generates. Knowing the exact status of a project as well and the total flow of work through our office have made a measurable increase in our productivity and billable efficiency. Also worth mentioning is that the company is fantastic to work with. They have always been very responsive and accommodating to our requests... they are constantly adding new useful features. We looked at and tested many competing programs but we could not find one that was as complete, easy to use and affordable. JobOrder is loaded with features - I doubt we even use half of them but it's nice knowing that they are there.

JobOrder has clearly been designed with powerful and sophisticated featured needed by large organizations. But I don't know how our small consulting business (two full-time consultants, six to ten part-time consultants, and no support staff) could operate without it. With JobOrder, planning, tracking, communicating, billing, and analyzing what we do is possible, even easy.

There are several apps that perform time & job tracking. The best one, by far, is JobOrder. It's the ultimate business management suite for client & project based businesses.
I conducted a huge, comprehensive search last year for business management software for my business. I was looking for a unified, fully integrated suite that could handle all business management functions rather than a hodge-podge of various applications that would require entering the same client and project information in each. I definitely prefer one unified app over an assortment of specialized apps that don't work together or require problematic import/export. The time you save by using an integrated management app increases your return on investment on the software as well as just making life easier and less stressful.
I now run my business with JobOrder business management software because it blows away everything else out there for small to medium sized project-based businesses. Built on the 4D database, JobOrder is a complete system for planning, operating, and growing your business, performing all the business management functions: strategic planning, resource investment & management (ERP), marketing (contact management & CRM), operations management (customer service), scheduling & time management, accounting, and reporting.
At the heart of JobOrder is an integrated system for managing billable as well as internal projects from beginning to end, including all job/project functions: estimates, proposals, workflow templates, time tracking and job costing, expense tracking, invoices, receipts, inventory, supplier bid requests, requisitions, check writing, reports, etc. There is a road map that can take you through each step in the job process and you can recycle old jobs to serve as templates for new jobs to save time. It even has a robust built-in productivity suite including 4D Write, 4D Calc, and 4D Draw for word processing, spreadsheets, and drawing whose documents can be linked to their corresponding projects and clients.
Since it is a unified system everything is linked; clients are linked to their corresponding jobs, notes, deliverables, documents, reports, project schedules, and payment and accounting info., etc. Related jobs can be grouped together into 'programs' for organizational purposes and all jobs and programs can be rolled-up to the enterprise level to get a 'bird's eye' view of your business as a whole. It's a very well thought-out and designed program.
JobOrder is favorably compared to three other job tracking solutions on Apple's own website. As you can see from the features chart on Apple's site, JobOrder is the only solution that can perform all seven job tracking functions.
JobOrder is the best investment I've ever made in my business: I highly recommend it. If you operate a client/project based business you should check it out. But be forewarned; once you try it, you'll want it-nothing else will do.

We had been looking for a suitable program for a long time that would track all our accounting, production, database and marketing activities, all within the one piece of software. JobOrder has made this possible and has not only dramatically increased our efficiency but improved the communication of critical data across the company. It's reduced the need for meetings where senior staff impart knowledge because everyone can now log on and monitor their responsibilities themselves.
