Forward Deployed Engineer, Build Paperless
Pri is a forward deployed engineer at Build Paperless, which means she works on site with customers rather than from a backlog. She spends her time inside real cabinet making and joinery businesses, and writes about what separates job management software built for a workshop from software built for a site.
JobMan is a genuinely good manufacturing system, and for a high-volume production workshop it is probably the better fit. But most Australian cabinet makers are not running a factory. They are winning work from builders and pricing joinery off a drawing set, and that is a different problem.
simPRO is built for larger trade businesses and it is capable software. The things to weigh before you start are custom pricing, implementation fees, and the fact that you cannot try it without talking to sales first.
