"This is one of the best, if not the best, automating applications for everything from enquiry to billing, integrating all the important aspects of job and project processes including planning and scheduling."

Christian Benjamin, Support911, San Fernando, California

"JobPro Central redefined and simplified the way we manage our productions and client accounts, and continues to smooth our periods of substantial business growth. The menial tasks we once performed manually are now performed and tracked automatically by JobPro, leaving us more time to focus on our client and the quality of our product. And the staff have been exceptional in their support offerings."

Jo H-S, Production Coordinator, Go 2 Productions, Vancouver

"We have a small design studio and purchasing JobPro Central was one of our best business decisions. It's easy to learn, very intuitive, and has helped us get organized.

JobPro Central has all functions we need to track and manage our projects.

We spent several months looking for an application that would help our design studio track projects and manage our time. JobPro Central was easy to install and we were up and running on the first day."

Alex Valderrama, Principal/Creative Director, Cranium Studio, Denver, USA

"So... Having trouble finding a quotation, job tracking, database management software for the Graphic Industry on a MAC OSX platform? Look no further, Job Pro is the answer for you... Just get it!"

Eugene Artista, Artista Design and Print Inc., Ontario, Canada. www.artistaprint.com

"We are a small business in a very specialized field of the heating and cooling industry. JobPro Central has become a very large part of our powerful customized Business System. Our FileMaker system is the backbone for all we do on a daily basis. We worked closely with JobPro's staff to merge our existing FileMaker driven accounting and inventory systems to their complete and powerful front end system. We now have a consolidated, easy-to-understand, and useful business system for our company to build and grow upon.

We found JobPro to be truly easy to use. With a click of my mouse I can see how we are performing as a whole - then keep clicking for more details as I need them. Not only does this help with day to day decision-making but these precise details provide peace of mind that I am making the right decisions for our company. It has already shown results in our company's improved customer service, inventory control and financial knowledge."

Diane Corrick, Business Manager, Radiant Engineering, Inc. Bozeman, Montana, USA

"We have a small photography studio and purchasing JobPro Central has helped us jump ahead in our daily management of clients and contacts. The fast growth of our business made us quickly outgrow our calendar/contact program.

It would have taken us a lifetime to make FileMaker Pro as good as JobPro Central. JobPro Central offers a great interface for all tracking and project management. It is easy to install, works seamlessly on a Mac and we were up and running in a day. Organization is key and this software is easy to learn, intuitive, and has greatly improved our overall business communication skills."

Kirsty Gilbert & Jason Browning, Gilbertbrowning Studios, Philadelphia, USA

"DevTek, Inc. uses JobPro for a variety of managerial purposes, including inventory control, sales tracking and prospect management. We have been very impressed with the depth of this product and detail of information that can be queried, manipulated and managed. We look forward to putting it through its paces as our business grows."

Joe Holmes, DevTek, Inc., Alabama, USA

"The recent purchase of our JobPro software has been a great addition to our management team. With FileMaker being so complicated for us to set up, the JobPro software made things fall right into place. I was very excited to have a solution toward the FileMaker software as we purchased and didn't use until the JobPro team helped us with each step toward the JobPro software. This was exceptional as we bought one user at first and then added to after we were satisfied the software worked.

An excellent tool to track and keep up with "DATA". Thanks again for the wonderful instructions and software. Like having a dead battery and a brand new one sitting close with out a connection. The JobPro software provided us the "cable/link" to connect and take off running."

Barry Frazier, Frazier Roofing & Sheet Metal Co., Inc., USA

"We found our company suddenly facing significant growth due to a large industrial project in our area. We hired project managers and other staff to try to cope with the additional planning requirements we were experiencing. The experience was not very satisfying. One of our project managers tried to set up an Access database to do the job, but after much effort, the project was dumped as no end was in sight.

While looking for a software solution, we came across JobPro and decided to evaluate it.

After some time, we managed to adopt the program into our general routine. We found the most difficult thing was to change the "culture" in our company and employee behavior. Growing from a small company is a difficult proposition. JobPro has made that transition easier, and in fact the most resistant employees are now the greatest fans of this program.

The program is well designed and intuitive to use. (Something real important to us Mac users) It works equally well on Macs and PCs. Product support is nothing short of spectacular and the company does a great job of returning custom requirements in a timely manner.

This program is now a central tool in every project we undertake. I would have no hesitation to recommend it to any company who determines that project management is required in their company."

Tom Zubko, President - New North Networks Ltd, Inuvik, Canada

"In searching for a replacement for a 10 year-old business system, we found JobPro Central to be the ideal fit for our needs. Its robust feature set, extensibility, and customizability -- along with its low cost of ownership -- has made it possible for us to keep pace with the growing data requirements of our rapidly expanding publishing business."

Kevin Poole, IT Manager, becker&mayer! Books, Bellevue, WA USA

"As a fledgling company in 2004, we required a software system with a reasonable start up cost that could also keep up with the demands of exponential growth. Job Pro has been an easy program to learn, and has proven extremely beneficial in maintaining an up-to-date account of permitting and production deadlines, inventory, purchasing and billing information. It has several viewing options that allow for quick navigation when searching for information, making changes or adding new information. We look forward to maximizing the potential of this intelligent system as we continue to streamline our business operations. I strongly recommend it!"

Mitz Simonelli, Director, Modus Structures Inc. Crossfield, Canada

"JobPro is close to perfect for what I need to organize finances, contacts, inventory etc.. and with some minor modifications it will be perfect. The similar competitive products are way to complicated and over whelming for my operation. With JobPro I can handle my proprietary information on my own without utilizing administrative assistance. Also I can see JobPro growing with me and my organization to any conceivable level. Finding JobPro was heaven sent and long over due, thank you."

Albert Lewis, Pacific Recovery, San Diego, CA

"JobPro has allowed us to grow a product-based organization from an R&D planning company all the way to a marketing and sales focus. We have been easily able to add users and with the flexibility of FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Server, we are able to remotely access our data while on sales trips, off-site production visits and other critical meetings. We very much enjoy the fact that JobPro can be tailored to our specific needs and we are able to import and export stock and product information across platforms.

If you are a small business or a startup and do not want to spend $10's of thousands of dollars on some unwieldy SAP or Oracle system, this is the way to go for you. We searched for months before settling on JobPro and we are glad we made this choice. Adding new 'seats' is a breeze and the product is tailored for scalability and price-conscious startups. I recommend it!"

Paul F. Groepler, President & CEO, This Ol'factory, Austin Texas

"JobPro has completely changed how we work -- now we can manage our valuable resources in a more meaningful and productive way. It allows our teams to save time by sharing information constantly, rather than once a week at tedious planning sessions. And most importantly, our profits have increased to nearly 20%. This is, hands down, one of the most important business investments we have ever made."

Ricka Kohnstamm, Kohnstamm Communications. St. Paul, USA

"JobPro Central has given our company the functionality and flexibility we were lacking. We have been able to eliminate tasks, reduce paperwork and increase our overall efficiency. JobPro has saved us countless hours and has helped us to greatly improve our business processes."

Jenny Hooks, Prezenta Presentation Products, Wilmington, USA

"We are very pleased with our results using JobPro Central. Not only is the interface simple and easy to understand, but it has helped us refocus our attention to everyday business issues that have fallen through the cracks or been neglected. We are now more easily able to get instantaneous project information, monitor client contacts, manage quotations and maintain employee information all in one easy to use application. Your technical support and assistance in getting us up and running made the transition extremely smooth. Our staff have embraced workflow changes brought about through implementation of this product because they can see its usefulness in their day to day productivity."

Glenn Neuschwender, President, Enviroscience Consultants, Inc. - NY

"Our company desperately needed to get organized. We were keeping purchase orders and detailed invoices in Excel; to-do lists in a homemade flat-file FileMaker database; financial details in Quickbooks; recording session logs and notes in Word; emails all over the place; letters and quotations in Excel and partly in FileMaker. Timesheets were written by hand, summed by the office manager and turned into invoices in either Excel or Quickbooks.... Boy were we scattered.

I had purchased and tried Microsoft Project and it was too complicated and besides, didn't do half what we needed. So I did a web search for "FileMaker" and "Project Management". After reading all the tantalizing tidbits on the website, I proceeded to download the JobPro 60 day demo, which is completely open and ready to use (minus layout or script mode, of course). The structure of the program is brilliant and intricate, navigation is easy and intuitive. I would have had to spend 10 man-years on my own with FileMaker to get close to its power, and not have benefitted from the feedback of all of Softouch's other customers that have created this powerful interactive program. Within 5 days I was SOLD on it, and I purchased a 5-user contract from the company including some customization.

The staff were extraordinarily helpful; their can-do attitude sold me on the company. They were quick and efficient, and the modifications that they made to suit our way of working have proved bug-free and easy-to-use. Any employee can sit at any of the computers and enter his time log, notes on a job, send information via email, letter or fax to clients... I could go on and on.

I found all the modules we've used so far to perfectly fit our way of working. In fact, I believe that any design, service, or manufacturing organization will find JobPro meets or exceeds their needs.

We can also make changes ourselves as we bought that option. I've already tweaked the calendar module to show the week at a glance on a large screen. Softouch Technologies is also available to make any complex changes that we can't, or won't handle, at a reasonable fee.

I highly recommend this application to anyone who wants their office to run faster and find all the information you need at your fingertips, from any place in your office (couch potatoes beware of getting fat)! If you wish any further details from a satisfied user, don't hesitate to write me. Contact me through our website, www.digido.com."

Bob Katz, President, Digital Domain, Inc., Florida

"When I began looking for software to manage our international trading business, I preferred that it be a FileMaker Pro application; I’ve used Filemaker for many years and quite frankly, it can’t be beat for reliability and comprehensiveness as a development tool. I didn’t want to do any software development, however, and fortunately, that wasn’t necessary: JobPro handles everything for us, and I’ve saved many thousands of dollars in development costs by purchasing this outstanding, ready-made software.

The software interface is so nicely designed that it’s actually a pleasure to use. All the information that we need to access repeatedly throughout the day is right there at the click of a button--greatly simplifying the business activities of our busy office. No more headaches! All I need to do is keep JobPro open on my desktop--which is easy to do, since the application window is both small and elegant.

The company has worked with us to customize the software here and there to meet our exact requirements, and their work is highly professional and reliable. They are always available when you call or shortly thereafter, and are always extremely helpful. Having been evaluating and supporting computer software at different times in my career, this is something I really appreciate: no phone tag or unnecessary downtime as one waits for the callback that never comes!

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this superb software to anyone; you owe it to yourself to download an evaluation copy and see what I mean."

David Rutledge, Four Winds International Trading, Ottawa, Ontario Canada. www.4wit.com

"We run a digital media/specialty photo services company. Each project is unique and requires custom attention. After evaluating several packages, we decided on JobPro. It is a very well thought out application with excellent attention to detail. It has made managing our projects and client relations much easier. The platform will also scale nicely as we continue to grow. We would recommend it highly."

Bob Giovannini, M&D Media LLC, Arlington, USA

"JobPro has enabled us to improve our cash flow by invoicing our customers quickly and accurately. Providing a complete description on the invoice of the work performed prompts our customers to pay us faster. We have also been able to fine-tune our pricing model by feeding accurate job cost information back to our estimators and sales teams."

Jim C Johnston, JTS, Inc. Dallas Texas, USA

"Our company was looking for more than 'off the shelf' database software. We wanted something that could easily adapt to our business and grow with it. JobPro delivers on both counts along with its cross platform ability and ease of use. The majority of software written for our industry is PC based so with JobPro we get the best of both worlds plus the great support from the Softouch team."

Thomas Elander , President - Elander Mechanical Inc., Minnesota, USA

"JobPro has allowed our small construction firm to quickly estimate construction projects.  Having all of the information in one place, and in one system has tremendously streamlined our operation.  Thanks to JobPro, we can now estimate, and generate a quote to send to the customer in just minutes.  Also, JobPro has features that help us manage the job and costs associated with the job, keeping us under budget. The job specific scheduling and calendaring is excellent."

Paul Baker, President, Destructors, Inc. Dallas

"We've been using FileMaker to operate our business since 1990. We created a FileMaker database that helped us get through the early years. Our operations then only consisted of performance auto service and installation.

When we added our engineering and testing facilities to develop our own line of products, things got very difficult to keep track of. It was imperative to keep track of time and materials in the research and development phases of product design as well as sales and marketing.

Being a small and fragile company in the flux of rapid growth we needed a program that could accomplish the type of tasks that were only found in very expensive packages.

Speaking to a friend who is very familiar with FMP suggested we find a FileMaker package that is ready to go. We looked at many programs until I came across JobPro Central. At first I was not sure it was going to do the job. Dave of Jobpro assured me that it could be tweaked to suit all needs. I am very pleased with the results. We have been using JobPro Central now since early 2003 and the more we use it the more flexible it becomes. There is no canned program that is going to be the end all. But starting with JobPro Central has us doing what we do best, building the fastest BMW road cars on the world. Thanks Dave for a great job.

Looking forward to working with you through the coming years."

Osh Minelian, Race Marque Systems, California. www.racemarque.com

“We installed JobPro Central in early 2007. It is a superb management tool with all the information available in an integrated format. It has superb CRM facilities where we can easily track customer activities from enquiry right through to completion of work. Work schedules are easily organised through the Jobs database and our tracking and planning of work has
dramatically improved. We can also manage our stock from PO to dispatch to jobs and analyse our margins job by job.

Prior to installing JobPro we were attempting to do all this in an adhoc manner. The big advantage of this ERP for small business is that it integrates all activities and information and is easily accessed. Some customisation may be needed as users become more familiar with the package and its functions and capabilities. But this should not put off anyone as the team at Softouch are excellent. If anyone wishes to confirm this testimonial you may do so by contacting”

“It is a pleasure to provide feedback on a software package such as JobPro. As an accountant, I had very specific document flow and costing requirements. JobPro was recommended as the most complete and flexible system for a Design business of our size. My decision to move to JobPro was very much enhanced by the Provider of the package. I felt very comfortable that I would get the after sale service.

I can confirm that my decision was the correct one. I have all the information I need at my fingertips and can assess and make whatever business decision I need. All enquiries to JobPro Central have been answered in a very timely and efficient manner.

I would have no hesitation in recommending JobPro to any potential user.”

Frank McCarthy, Huguenot XMI, Dublin & Cork, Ireland

“Job Pro has been a massive benefit to our business. As a Marketing and Advertising agency it is imperative that we manage time and production costs carefully. JobPro has given us the tools to do this in a very effective way and has focused our attention on areas of the business that effect our bottom line.

In addition to the excellent software, the support from the developers has been second to none. From our initial meeting they understood our business and its needs and have delivered on everything we asked of them.”

Mark Curran, Direct Marketing Associates, Dublin, Ireland

“How we ever managed without JobPro is a mystery to me. Whilst we are a small company, we are growing fast. We were in danger of drowning in paperwork and administration tasks. Now we have it all at the touch of a button and best of all, it is so easy to use. Another huge plus for us is that it runs on Mac and PC so everyone was able to use it at their own workstation. As a company, we would have no hesitation in recommending Jobpro as the most effective tool to manage all sorts of projects”

Ann Hayes, Originate Brand & Creative, Dublin, Ireland

“I have no hesitation in recommending JobPro as an extremely user-friendly and time-saving software management system. We have been able to design the system to our exact specifications. This enabled a rapid transition from chaotic paper administration to very smooth running of a complicated multi-disciplinary clinic appointment system, and also facilitates simple and speedy audit and analysis of our service. After sale support has been excellent. It is hard to imagine how we managed before!”

“I’ve being using Job Pro for a number of years now. I find it to be a brilliant product as it provides all your information in one place. Recently we’ve taken on a large client which needed more detailed timekeeping, estimates and reports on work in progress. JobPro could handle the tasks without any new programming.

I would recommend JobPro to anyone without hesitation. It works well with great support and customization service.”

Garrett McKeagney, Managing Director, XO Design, Tullamore, Co Offaly, Ireland

“JobPro has changed the way that we work on a day to day basis.

It has made our company become more focused on costs on projects. We are able to see where the budgets are in relation to projects at the touch of a button.

It has helped us provide a better service to our clients because we are able to track all correspondence whether its phone calls, E-mail or faxes on one package.

I would recommend that any company that has a need for this type of software package avail of the free trial. We used the free trial and therefore when we purchased the package we were already familiar with it.”

Alan Kavanagh, Darjac Technical Services Ltd., Nass, Co Kildare, Ireland

“JobPro has helped our small organisation to tie the lose ends of running a business. It is ideal for our job tracking and stock management. The JobPro team have been great with customer service and technical support queries, making it very easy to use the software to its full potential.”

Andrea Splendori, Dryzone Ltd, Dublin, Ireland

“We are a Fine Art Company and have been using JobPro for some time now. Previous to using JobPro we used a programme, which had been continually upgraded as the business expanded. It became cumbersome and time inefficient. As we have multi users we required a user friendly system - JobPro fitted the criteria beautifully. An excellent way to keep on top of all data, ie, billing, client contacts, quotations, dispatch stock levels and daily management of our business. We have found the product support to be of an excellent standard and I would highly recommend this software to any company seeking a data management programme.”

Constance Scarrott, Philip Gray Fine Art, Cork, Ireland

“I am an Orthodontist with no background in IT training, and have been designing & using my own FileMaker databases for almost 15 years. I have found it to be an excellent, inexpensive, robust, powerful and, yet, simple solution for many aspects of my practice management.

JobPro, written in FilMaker, has now opened even more possibilities for me. It is also excellent, inexpensive, robust, powerful and eliminates, for me, the need to write the more complicated scripting required to bring specific areas of my practice management system to the next level. Hardware requirements are light, it is truly cross-platform and is easily used on a Mac/Windows network. In addition, from my viewpoint, it can easily be integrated into existing Filemaker databases.

Finally the staff at JobPro Central are efficient, easy to deal with and very, very knowledgeable.”

Dr. Owen Crotty, Orthodontist, Cork, Ireland

“Since purchasing JobPro I often wonder how I managed to run my business without it. The interface is so intuitive and simple and using it has helped streamline my production process considerably. More importantly my invoicing is up to date and there is a significant improvement in cash flow. A great product”

Conor McGuire, Artworks Design, Ireland

"We were looking for an office management programme and in fact, were just about to move with a software program developed here in Dublin, when I found out about JobPro and the ability to take a 60 day trial, something that was not offered by the previous software developer. I must say, I cannot fault JobPro. The big plus is that by the time I bought it I knew how to use it so there was no doubts that it was exactly what we needed.

Being a graphic design studio, on computers all day, it surprises me now that we were so manual in our office processes. We ran JobPro as a parallel system to our manual systems expecting it to take over in six or eight months. It became the primary system after only three months. Our paperwork is reducing every day. JobPro has given us the ability to process, deliver, audit and report on every job, client and supplier."

Andrew Kiernan, Project Magager, Principal Concepts, Ireland

"Before coming across JobPro I was a loyal and committed Goldmine user. JobPro is a very Friendly and easy to use program with lots of useful applications. Unlike Goldmine, I do work for 15 different people in a company and had to have 15 different records with all the same addresses and info. If the info changed, all the records had to be changed. In JobPro it is ONE RECORD with your 15 people in it. It is extremely easy to keep track of all Company jobs and orders going through my company. Writing letters, faxes and emails is real easy with its own built in system, you just hit “L” for letter and type away, the letter fax or email is stored in that record so that you have all the info on that company straight away. If you wrote a letter in Goldmine it had to go and find/link into Word and often that link became corrupt. You never have this problem with JobPro. I have easy pre done Templates for writing quotes etc. It is real easy to design your own templates for letters , faxes and emails. Keeping track of ordering materials from your suppliers is also very easy. It also has an extremely easy invoicing system. JobPro has been a great addition to my company and support is very easy to talk to and extremely efficient if you need anything done with JobPro. I have had some customisations to suit my business and anything I have asked for has been done overnight. The sort of customisations I needed were Delivery/Postal sheets so I could go into a client record and see that it was delivered by courier and also to get a sheet for that weeks deliveries that the courier did. Job sheets were also made to suit my business.

This is a great program and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it to any business."

Peter Barrow, European Photo Services, Dublin, Ireland

"Masterphoto decided on Jobpro for a number of reasons, the main of which was the user friendly interface which was based on FileMaker Pro which the staff were already using. Also the job ticket could be updated/amended as new requirements came to light. The programme worked well on both Mac and PC formats to give both our admin and production staff ease of access."

Joseph Coughlan, Production Director - Masterphoto, Ireland

"We use JobPro to help us manage projects and run our business efficiently. It is very easy to use and helps us to professionally present our company to the outside world."

John Coleman, Managing Director - Wireless In Motion, (wireless applications software developer) Ireland

"We are using JobPro for archiving all our customers details, customer names, numbers, emails and websites. We can then use the database for mail shots, invoicing. Also for contacting clients numbers are always available at a touch of button.

We input all the jobs we print, docket numbers and instructions. We can then search for last job printed, what were exact details, etc.

We are in the process of fine tuning and developing the software to be even more powerful and be able to track jobs in within the different departments, make production lists on a daily and weekly basis.

JobPro is saving us a lot of time on a daily basis - no paper work and no running around. It's all there instantly available with an easy and powerful search capability."

Véronique Druesne, Graphic Designer - DAOL Design & Print, Ireland

"We have been using JobPro for over two years and have found it fantastic especially in streamlining our client database, invoicing and credit control procedures. It has really made a difference and the after sale support is excellent."

Fergal Lennon, ePropertyGold.com, Ireland

"After spending a long time looking for a software management system for a small sized business I found JobPro. An easy to use and understand system, it is great for project and job tracking, client contacts, quotations, and so much more - all at the touch of a button. It has helped to increase the company's production process within a short period.

Don't take my word for it - download a trial version and see for yourself."

James Kelly, 121 Creative Design, Ireland

“We are a digital print business and needed an application to help with production control. A web search turned up 'Job Pro Central' and we downloaded the free demo. We were delighted to find that this satisfied all our requirements, keeping track of customers, jobs in hand, quotations and even invoicing. We had no hesitation in buying JobPro and have been using it very successfully. We couldn't do without it now!”

David Cole, Digital Colour Services, Devon, United Kingdom

“JobPro has provided a complete solution as our project management system: it has helped us to work as a team, share information, and develop new business. Without JobPro we would have been stuck in spreadsheet-hell - like all of our competitors.”

Mike Bell, Clever Works, United Kingdom

“I looked at various software packages in the run-up to selecting JobPro. The attraction of JobPro was that its flexibility was going to allow us to run the business in the way we wanted, rather than having to stick rigidly to the way a software designer decided we should do things, as with other off the shelf packages. I was particularly interested in the fact that JobPro could handle all sorts of different jobs so, as we grow into other product areas, we are not restricted by our software. The ability to write more specific modules for us in the future is very attractive, as is the fact that adding new users is as easy as a few mouse clicks.

Having the system as either Mac and/or PC based, means that everyone in the organisation can use the same system, without the need to invest in PCs for the Mac-based design people - a considerable saving in itself.

An initial enquiry by email was met with a phone call from the company within the hour. They answered all my queries, and showed me that there were all sorts of ways in which JobPro could handle job processing for us. I felt that with that level of response (which crucially, has not stopped since purchase) I would be confident making the investment, and I am glad that I did.

I have no hesitation in recommending the system, try the demo version - you won't look back!”

Simon Nutbrown, Cornflower Limited, United Kingdom

“JobPro's approach to SoftDesign Services needs was flexible, professional and very hands on. They ensured that SoftDesign’s requirements were delivered and were fit for purpose, whilst within the costs.

JobPro has already transformed the way we work giving SoftDesign the end to end picture of the business it needs to be successful. Management can access the detail they need by running the built in reports or by using the search options available.

The simple but effective layouts have made it easy for the operator to use with the minimal disruption to delivery.

As the use of JobPro expands within SoftDesign I see it as the pivotal management system to allow for continued success of the company.”

Dermott Lydon, SoftDesign Services Ltd, London

“After a first year of business that saw rapid growth, we found that we had duplication and gaps in our information. We were searching calendars, contacts and word processing documents to find our information which was taking hours of valuable time. When we found JobPro, it was clear that this would cut our workload, streamline our information and help us to keep track of customers. The extra work we asked for in tailoring the package to our specific needs has been one of the best business decisions we have made.”

“Having looked around at all the available off-the-peg systems on the market, we decided that JobPro had the best feature set, integration and user interface available. It was also built in Filemaker Pro, which we were using at the time and knew to be extremely flexible where adaptations might be required. It's also completely cross-platform, which meant no issues when we need to add the odd PC into our predominantly Mac network.

The JobPro team are quick and efficient to deal with and have programmed many additional features and tweaks that have made our version of JobPro more specific to our industry and given us some dedicated functionality. We see this as an ongoing process for us, but then with quite a complex business model, this would be the case with any generic system. The difference being, that many other systems on the market are not that as well integrated to start with, or as adaptable when it comes to making changes.

At the end of the day JobPro is still working out much more cost-effective than any bespoke system we could have commissioned, and with some features that we may never have thought of from the outset. Needless to say, we continue to promote it's use to anyone looking for a robust, well designed job-based system at a sensible price.”

Jim Griffiths, TM Designs Ltd, United Kingdom

“We are a production and design house offering b2b services to the exhibition and display trade producing artwork designs, large format digital and signage. After previously having a basic database written specifically the company, we quickly found that the service and support we had from our supplier was not what we were looking for. Any amendments and changes took far too long, and the data base slowed to a crawl. It was then I started looking for a new system which encompassed the existing features of the database with a whole host of new ones, I trialed off the shelf products and a number which could be customised to our needs.

The only product I found to answer all of our questions without spending tens of thousands of pounds was JobPro Central. From the outset installing the database was simple and the help and support I received just based on the prospect of us purchasing the licenses was second to none. When we decided to purchase the licenses, this was done efficiently and the changes we asked for were implemented straight away.

Jobpro Central has enabled us to centralise all our information and manage jobs more efficiently and productively, from telephone calls to purchasing, job management to production, it is a product that will grow with our company and help our company to grow.”

Ian Hatfield, Director, g4b Ltd, United Kingdom

“JobPro Central has become an integral part of our business. It controls and manages our business information and transactions perfectly with nearly all information cross linked to its many useful modules. It is very easy to use and did not require any training, by the end of the first day we were productive. The support has been excellent both by email and phone. I would highly recommend JobPro Central to any small or large business that requires efficient control of its day to day business information."

Neal Jones, Redstart//Design, United Kingdom

“It took us a long time to find the right management information software for our business. The size of our company and the budget for the project ruled out the opportunity to develop our own bespoke system. When we came across JobPro Central it seemed like the ideal solution, giving us a system that not only could be customised to our working patterns, but also delivers to a level way beyond our expectations.

To us, JobPro Central is the hub of all our management information. We needed a solid platform to ensure that our long term information collateral is not compromised. We love the way JobPro Central uses the power that FileMaker Pro offers and it seems to have limitless development opportunities. We have no doubt it will return its investment very quickly indeed. I could not recommend JobPro Central highly enough. Whether sole trader or employing many people, it will organise and revolutionise the way you do business and keep you ahead of the game.”

Karl Barker, Director, Cube 3 Media, United Kingdom

"JobPro Central has helped Mediatwelve grow by reducing the vast amount of time it had taken previously to keep contact details, estimates, manage jobs, and invoices etc, and use that time instead to help market our company and streamline our working practices.

Not only will it save you HUGE amounts of time on a daily basis but it doesn't take much time to learn how to use it either, and if you do get stuck at any point just email them and you'll have your answer in minutes.

I recommend this to all businesses small or large."

"JobPro is intuitive and easy to use and has allowed us to improve our production process within a short space of time. Support is fast and helpful; always the acid test of software and technical suppliers!"

Neil Hutchinson, Managing Director, PI Marketing Limited, United Kingdom

"Chameleon previously had a FileMaker-based Business Management System that we built to suit our needs about three years ago. Recently, it had been starting to let us down and was really showing its age. In short, it was not keeping up with the development of our own business.

I looked at a number of solutions for taking this side of business forward and, after evaluating the trial version of JobPro, was very confident it would meet our needs. It has been clearer with each passing day of use that JobPro must be the product of extensive ongoing development. It is rapidly becoming an invaluable tool at the heart of our business and, every time we have needed assistance, nothing has ever been too much trouble.

JobPro is not just a great product, it is backed up by a great company."

Darren Isaac ACiM MCIM, MD, Chameleon Design & Marketing, United Kingdom

"Having looked at various Mac solutions we decided we needed multi-discipline Office Management Software to handle:

1) Stock Management
2) Contact databases
3) Sales Quotations
4) Invoicing
5) Dispatches

After downloading the demo version and discussing our needs with the developers, we decided to purchase a modified package.

Since then we’ve never looked back - JobPro integrates every part of our manufacturing/sales process, making us more time efficient right across the board.

I would not hesitate to recommend JobPro to any business for its ease of use, functionality, back up service – Especially at the price."

Dave Grattan, Director / C.E.O. DVR Extreme Ltd / DVRX Ltd - UK. http://www.dvrextreme.com/

"I have used JobPro to run my business for the last 2 1/2 years very successfully. I deal with dozens of suppliers world wide and many of my orders need multiple components from different suppliers to complete the job which JobPro brings together very well.

Invoicing is a piece of cake and the ability to see all your contacts from one company on a single record card is very useful. I would certainly recommend this package to anyone and it's within reach of us SME's as well as the corporates'."

John Rickard, JPR Graphics and Design Ltd., England

“Thanks a lot for your support, and congratulations for JobPro. You have developed a great product, which is very pleasant to work with and gives our administrative and planning productivity a tremendous boost.”

Henri Thiel, De Visu Digital Document Design, Belgium

“JobPro has proven to be a well-designed and reliable software application which has enabled our company to optimize our client and project management systems. The installation on both Mac and PC was easy and problem-free and working with the program is user-friendly for Mac and PC users. The technical support we have received from the JobPro team has been fast and effective and we would highly recommend the JobPro program to any company wishing to improve their overall business processes.”

Enrique Zamora, Managing Director, Amusement Logic, Spain. http://www.amusementlogic.es

“Powerful, Logical, Extensive. We were already convinced on finding a solution which was developed with the powerful FileMaker line of cross-platform products. After testing numerous systems, we came across JobPro Central and were pleasantly surprised at its design and functionality. Most other systems appear to have been developed in the stone ages. JobPro Central is clean and feels good when you use it. We were convinced after a few hours and since two months in production have not found a single bug or experienced anything unpleasant.

JobPro Central proves its worth with extensive functions, logical workflow and extremely useful customization capabilities. While other systems promised to be more specific to our needs, we found JobPro handles all our mailing, prospecting, administrative, project management, quoting, ordering, delivery and billing needs...and this in a country where our customers require their documents in three languages.

We are pleased with our investment in JobPro Central and look forward to utilizing more of its power to expand our business in the coming years.”

Richard Gelles, Managing Director, Insensation, Interior Design Systems - Switzerland

"Vladex b.v. is a trading and manufacturing company from The Netherlands working with food products. Already several years we are working with FileMaker program and till now we used several database applications operated under FileMaker.
To manage our production and trading activities we decided to take a trial version of JobPro Central. After only 14 days we decided to purchase full version of this program with full access licence and till now we are more than satisfied with the program itself but also with support from our contact person from JobPro.
Easy to learn, easy to work with is something our company and our employees needed. Beside all other benefits we have working under JobPro Central we would like to point out that everything can be changed in no time to personal wishes and personal ideas of company management.
We recommend this system to all trading companies as well to manufactures and companies doing re-packaging. We insure you that for low costs you will get a perfect program to manage your business."

Vladimir Cosic, Vladex b.v., The Netherlands info@vladex.com

"Sinds mei 2004 gebruikt IJsfontein Interactive Media (www.ijsfontein.nl) JobPro. Met ruim 25 personen in 5 functiegroepen kunnen wij bijna onze gehele bedrijfs & projectadminstratie kwijt binnen Jobpro. Alle contacts, personeelsgegevens, projecten, facturen, de urenregistratie, prospects & begrotingen zijn voor iedereen bereikbaar binnen JobPro. Daarmee beschouwen wij de implementatie als erg succesvol."

Dennis Mulder, Projectmanager, IJsfontein, Netherlands

"Using JobPro we are able to track activities and costs on different projects and we have great help in contact management. Not only, we have a big tool in monitoring "hidden" costs related to pre-sales and post-sales. For us it's the right tool for managing business information, forecasting and budgeting, avoiding too many incomplete or redundant Excel report forms."

Claudio Renna, owner, Mindeer - Italy

“JobPro software contains lots of useful applications, the program is easy to learn (we overpowered it after a few hours) and it’s very intuitive to use.
 
Before purchasing the program we have tried dozens of other apps and found JobPro to suits the best to our needs. The program works well on Apple Mac also which was very important for us.

We were so glad that it solved our problem of many different invoice’s series and many busines cards. Now we have all in one.

It is also nice to be able to send a calculation or purchase order by e-mail directly to the client or supplier with any attachment. It’s very easy to keep the office work with no paper, no folder and no full deposits. JobPro helps us to monitor our cash flow, cost incidental to pre-sales and post-sales, manage projects and it makes a central system of all our contacts and jobs.

The  customer service support from the developers is absolutely perfect. We have always received reply almost instantly. They helped as with some nice modification in program as well as with broken data integrity (due to some crash of HD). They deserve for that many thanks! 

By the way JobPro presents our company at more professional level. I have to say that JobPro makes the heart of our business now.”

Martin Skotnica, AdZONE, ltd., Prague, Czech Republic

"Having started a new security company, following many years with one of the big boys, I knew that data management was a critical part of running a successful business.

JobPro has given us a flying start with an overall package that blows away the cumbersome and dated system my previous employer uses.

JobPro seamlessly allows us to take a prospect through the quotation process to becoming a customer. Then it flows through to managing the job thoroughly and finally to sending them an invoice. We also use it to scan and link documents like signed contracts, system designs and service dockets.

We would be lost with out it now and are very happy to recommend it to any business looking to provide excellent service."

"We were setting up a new company and already had considerable experience with FileMaker Pro connecting our 5 offices nationally in Australia. We wanted to use FileMaker for the flexibility of being able to design specific databases but did not have the expertise or time to develop a
more sophisticated application to handle all the wider sales, accounting and communication functions.

We looked at various products on the market but selected JobPro because it is such a logical and easy to understand system and training our staff was an important issue. Since installing JobPro we could not have been happier with the results. It is an amazing product that has lots of depth that is not immediately apparent when you first start to use it. Many times we were searching for a particular function and found that it was already in the product or that we could easily adapt our expectations to meet what was already there. We have been able to customise modules with the built in functions and also been able to link our specific database functions to
JobPro.

The support has been incredible and very patient! Where we were unable or unwilling to modify JobPro to fit our processes it was a simple matter to talk it through, e-mail the specific modules and have the modifications done by the next business day all for a reasonable price we could budget around. As our own expertise grows with JobPro we are able to undertake more sophisticated modifications ourselves.

I can highly recommend this product to all types of businesses, whether you have FileMaker expertise or not. It provides functionality and flexibility far beyond its purchase price and the developers have been great to deal with."

David Parkes, Water & Energy Savers Pty Ltd, Victoria, Australia

"We are already seeing huge benefits from the program. Our company specialises in manufacturing a wide range of commercial furniture and employ 35 staff. We were looking at a software package, which could handle everything from quotations to dispatches.

After downloading the demo and discussing JobPro with the developers, we decided to purchase the package. One of the main reasons for going with JobPro was the outstanding customer service that the company provided. With the developers being in Ireland and myself in New Zealand, there were many occasions when I would email them at 7.30am NZ time and they would reply a few minutes later, which would have been 7.30pm for them. They would also never hesitate to phone me direct if necessary. That in my mind is great customer service.

As for the software, it has integrated every part of our manufacturing process therefore making us more efficient by accurately being able to cost, track stock/orders, job progression, dispatches and more.

I would not hesitate to recommend JobPro to any business for its ease of use, functionality, back up service and price."

Nick Suurenbroek, Operations Manager - Optim Group Ltd, New Zealand. http://www.optim.co.nz

"Bellette spent years looking for job management software that would suit both the amount and variety of work that pours in through the doors of our advertising agency. Being located in the middle of the Australian desert means that we can be asked to undertake anything from a state wide multiple media advertising campaign for government, to a website in Nevada USA, to designing and constructing premier signage sculptures for the local council!

We needed something that could cope with multiple users, endless job parameters, changing deadlines, and a variety of services both internal and external, culminating in accurate invoicing for timely cashflow!

JobPro did it for us, we've customised it and it keeps getting better and better in terms of knowing exactly who is meant to be doing what, where we at with each job, and how long we have to go before completion.

It only took us a day recently to get a new staff member up and fully trained and operating, we've cut back on administration hours, and as owners of the business we can go away for holidays and the place still runs!!"

Kate Merry, Production Manager, Bellette Advertising, Alice Springs, Australia

"Over the years we have purchased various databases to handle our growing Macintosh service business, even employing a programmer to write the 'perfect' database which was to be 'Mac like', friendly and extremely functional. We finally gave up when we became an Authorised Apple reseller as we soon released that we needed something 'perfect - PLUS'. After trying the JobPro Central demo we realised that we had struck gold. This is an easy to use, extremely functional database that keeps on surprising us with feature after feature. As for service, I have received phone calls from the developers in Ireland to check to see how the program was going and if we needed any changes etc. Outstanding service. I love this program - excellent."

Brian Nelson, Manager - Mac Rescue, Apple Solutions Reseller, Adelaide, Australia

"We were referred to JobPro by our Apple dealer to set up a customised database incorporating a project management system.

The company skilfully extracted from us our business processes and linked them into a logical format - allowing us and our staff to have accurate information about our projects at all times."

Peter Davidson, Managing Director - Designate Interior Design, Sydney, Australia

"I just had to let you know how pleased we are with JobPro Central. Its "bloody great". We really looked around and JobPro was the cleanest looking interface we could find - now we can say the good looks are because it all functions so well under the hood. Our business is a complex combination of parts that we design / buy / and assemble into our products, so we face lots of issues storing technical drawings, managing manufacturing, stock and sales. JobPro has put the control in my hands and gives me time to dream up new things to make - Thanks so much!"

Matthew von Sturmer, Design Director, Zealous Architectural Hardware Ltd, New Zealand

"I have been a FileMaker Developer for a little over 10 years now, going back to Version 2 in July of 1994. Back then I took a twelve day sabbatical from the office to plan and build a comprehensive management system that would control every imaginable aspect of the our business. In the duration of the decade that has passed the refinement and enhancement has been ongoing. After ten years, what I thought was a complete integrated and comprehensive a system, pales in comparison to JobPro.

As a FileMaker developer I'm embarrassed to say I bought an open source JobPro license just so that I could copy some of what has been implemented and our system still does not rival the degree of integration in JobPro. 

As an Authorised Apple centre we are constantly in contact with customers looking for a business management solution similar to ours. Without a second thought we promote and sell JobPro as I have yet so see a system which is as 'all-encompassing', well done JobPro."

Garren James, Computer Colour Concepts, South Africa

"I had been looking for a management software written in FileMaker Pro 7, which is compatible with asian font input. Then I found JobPro Central. I was so glad that it solved my problem of writing in Chinese. It's modules, fields, and scripts are well thought out. Well, it may not be as good as a custom designed database but I would say it should take good care of all facets of small to medium sized companies. The graphics are also very acceptable. I have on quite a few occasions sent emails with questions and received speedy replies.
Give it a try.. it's a very decent management system."

Donald Thung, Little Wood Company, Hong Kong

"Its just amazing how much software like JobPro can do to your business. JobPro offers all the tools and modules that you will ever need to run every aspect of your business "Smartly". Highly recommended."

Tarek Ali, CEO, Printness - Print Management & Digital Printing, Egypt

"Our company works in the sphere of lighting design, deliveries and after-sales support of lighting projects. We decided to choose JobPro because it works on the Mac platform and gives us the possibility to customize it according to our particular requirements.

General features implemented in JobPro allow us to manage our multi-stage business process such as projects containing a few orders, tracking the shipments, part invoicing and dispatching and so on. It has become a powerful and indispensable instrument for our entire company."

Vitalii Kaplunenko. Owner, Queensland LLC Kiev, Ukraine

"One hell of a database. I can clearly appreciate the hours of work that went into this development! You have done an excellent job with the product and the best by far for the "construction industry".

I have 30 Years experience in mining projects. I have been involved in multimillion R projects internationally from Chile to Japan and a systems engineer by profession.
The approach for any project manager is to control the project , in budget and on time with quality excellence. JobPro certainly adds great value to a project with it's ease of operation and job flow methods. Normal accounting packages just don't offer such flexibility.

You can be in total control of the project with :

1. Your communication to suppliers , customers etc... Faxes letters emails are all imbedded nicely and now give functionality to a structured filing "path" on your Mac or PC or Server
2. Your cost control against set and specific budgets with variation order control
3. Purchase orders with locking ability to ensure security and validation
4. and all the other nice features I see
5. Time management for your staff and contracting staff on site
6. and off course very nice staff to work with when you require customization"

"We are very pleased and delighted with the JobPro Central program. It makes our work more easier and effective. Using JobPro you save time and money. Buying JobPro is the first step for successful business development."

Tiko Adamia, Office Manager, Etiketi Ltd, Georgia

"Ever since investing in JobPro we have been more and more pleased with the way it handles our daily job management, contacts, customer info, time log and so on. It is also very nice to be able to send a fax or e-mail directly out of the system and have instant access to our documentation."
