Case Study: Gamma Vacuum achieves 8% annual growth and outpaces larger competitors with JobBOSS

JobBOSS, Synergy and Event Manager Help Small Ion Pump Shop Outpace Bigger Competitors

Gamma Vacuum, a 23‑person shop in Shakopee, Minnesota, set out to become the world’s leading manufacturer of ion pumps while competing against firms with 1,000+ employees. After spinning off in 2003, Gamma Vacuum needed a job‑shop management solution that fit a configure‑to‑order operation and chose JobBOSS (including JobBOSS Synergy and JobBOSS Event Manager) for its out‑of‑the‑box functionality, flexibility and cost effectiveness.

JobBOSS gave Gamma the ability to reschedule jobs, reveal material shortages early, and build “dummy” jobs in minutes to confirm delivery commitments, while JobBOSS Synergy and Event Manager automated workflows like quote follow‑ups. The technology cut administrative overhead (estimated as the equivalent of two full‑time people), helped Gamma capture roughly one‑third of the $25M market, and supported consistent 8% annual revenue growth, with further gains expected as they complete Event Manager and Synergizer rollouts.
