Shoptech and DO.Impact at a glance

An honest side-by-side on the things small manufacturers ask about first. Shoptech's E2 line is well known in job shops; the comparison most teams run is whether they want shop tracking or a connected operating system for the whole business.

One system, not separate modules

Instead of moving between JobBOSS or E2 for jobs, spreadsheets for strategy and another tool for maintenance, DO.Impact keeps strategy, commercial, operations and people data in one model.

  • Shared data model across all 12 modules
  • Switch modules on as you need them
  • No integrations to build or maintain

Pipeline, contract review, capacity scheduling, shop floor tracking and invoicing visibility live together. A problem on the floor shows up before the next quote is signed.

  • Opportunity-to-delivery in one view
  • Margin and capacity warnings at quote time
  • Real-time schedule visibility for sales

Operator-friendly floor tools

The touch-friendly Floor View kiosk lets operators log downtime, barriers and safety observations in seconds. Supervisors get live SQDP+ boards and OEE trends without chasing paper.

Frequently asked questions

What is Shoptech?

Shoptech is a software company that owns JobBOSS, E2 Shop Tech and other manufacturing ERP products. Many small manufacturers use its tools for quoting, scheduling and job tracking.

Why consider DO.Impact instead of Shoptech?

DO.Impact replaces the operational silos — quoting, scheduling, shop floor management, OEE, maintenance and skills — with one connected system that shares a single data model.

Can DO.Impact replace both JobBOSS and E2?

Yes. DO.Impact covers the operational core that both products address: pipeline, quoting, scheduling, shop floor tracking, maintenance and skills. You can keep a separate accounting system if needed.

Is there a long implementation?

No. Most teams start the same day with the read-only demo workspace, then open a free sandbox. There is no setup fee and no required implementation project.

How is the pricing different?

DO.Impact is a flat monthly subscription per user. There are no per-module add-ons, no setup fees and no server maintenance costs.
