Case Study: Forrest Machining Inc. achieves nearly double accuracy and real-time job costing compliance with ECI Software Solutions (JobBOSS)

Forrest Machining Inc. - Customer Case Study

Forrest Machining Inc., a 200-person, woman-owned aerospace machining and assembly shop in Valencia, CA, needed greater precision and repeatable processes as its business shifted from ~40% to nearly 90% government contracts. To meet stricter government standards and eliminate time-consuming manual tracking, the company sought better shop-floor labor data, real-time job costing, streamlined payroll reconciliation, and clear direct vs. indirect labor reporting. Forrest Machining implemented JobBOSS from ECI Software Solutions to address these needs.

ECI Software Solutions’ JobBOSS, backed by Microsoft SQL, automated shop management, time collection, and costing so Forrest could capture time and project costs in real time and enforce consistent processes. The solution nearly doubled the company’s accuracy rate, delivered real-time job costing, streamlined payroll and labor reconciliation, and enabled clear measurement of direct versus indirect labor—improving bidding accuracy and operational efficiency.
