Why manufacturers are moving beyond JOBBOSS
Legacy systems can become harder to adapt as your operation grows. PlantHawk is being built around the frustrations manufacturers have with older ERP environments.
Outdated.
Expensive.
Poor Support.
Outdated software that isn’t keeping up
Dated interfaces, frustrating bugs, limited flexibility, and a non-modular approach can make it harder to adapt the system as your business changes.
Costs that are hard to justify
Many shops report rising licensing costs while still feeling like they’re paying premium prices for a basic, aging ERP experience.
Support that feels too far away
Feature requests shouldn't go unanswered. Problems shouldn't linger. And customers shouldn't feel ignored by the company behind the software.
If your ERP is expensive, outdated, and frustrating to support, staying put isn't always the safer option.
JOBBOSS workflows. Modern software.
Keep what works. Modernize what doesn’t.
PlantHawk is being designed around the manufacturing workflows your team already knows — while rethinking the experience around them.
Familiar workflows
Keep the processes your team already understands.
A modern experience
Cleaner navigation and a better user experience.
Built to evolve
A more flexible foundation for what comes next.

Switch ERP. Don’t start over.
The hardest part of replacing an ERP isn’t choosing new software — it’s moving years of operational data and getting your team comfortable with the change. PlantHawk is being built with JOBBOSS migration in mind from day one.

New product. Experienced team.
PlantHawk is a new product, but the team behind it isn’t. It’s being built by , an enterprise software company operating since 2005.
20+ years of software experience
DesIDEA has spent more than two decades building, integrating, testing, and supporting business-critical software for U.S. organizations.
Enterprise delivery experience
Our teams work across software development, integrations, cloud, QA, automation, and long-term application support.
Built to support customers long term
PlantHawk is being developed within an established software organization, with the engineering and support capabilities needed to serve customers beyond the initial launch.
PlantHawk may be new. The team behind it isn’t.
Help shape PlantHawk from the beginning.
We’re looking for a small group of JOBBOSS manufacturers to become early PlantHawk pilot customers and help us build a better path forward.
Pilot customers will work directly with the PlantHawk team as we refine the product, validate workflows, and prepare for a broader launch.
