Case Study: Forrest Machining Inc. Doubles Accuracy and Achieves Real-Time Job Costing with JobBOSS

JobBOSS Doubles Forrest Machining’s Accuracy

Forrest Machining Inc., a 200-person woman-owned aerospace machining and assembly shop in Valencia, California, faced a rapid shift from roughly 40% to nearly 90% government work, which brought intense scrutiny on cost tracking, compliance, and shop-floor labor accuracy. To eliminate manual clock-in issues and one-off fixes and to gain real-time job costing and payroll reconciliation, Forrest Machining deployed JobBOSS shop management software (backed by Microsoft SQL).

JobBOSS delivered systematic, repeatable shop-floor processes, automated time capture, add-on modules and SQL-driven customizations that provide real-time job costing and clear direct vs. indirect labor visibility. As a result, Forrest Machining now streams payroll and labor reconciliation, knows job costs at every point in time, and has nearly doubled its accuracy rate using JobBOSS—improving compliance, bidding accuracy and operational efficiency.
