The short version

  • Each has a real cost: JobBOSS² the product is a merger of two legacy systems, so existing JobBOSS and E2 customers face a migration and retraining project whose cost is negotiated case by case and is easy to underestimate.; Nanoprecise Sci Corp the hardware and analytics are inseparable, so you cannot bring your own accelerometers or keep the platform if you change sensor vendor, and every expansion of coverage is a hardware purchase as well as a subscription increase.
  • They diverge on capability: JobBOSS² covers Estimating and quoting, Nanoprecise Sci Corp covers Six-parameter sensor.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

JobBOSS²

  • The product is a merger of two legacy systems, so existing JobBOSS and E2 customers face a migration and retraining project whose cost is negotiated case by case and is easy to underestimate.
  • ECI is a private equity owned portfolio company with many vertical products, and buyers should read renewal, uplift and support tier terms carefully because the commercial model is built around long term contracted revenue.
  • Machine connectivity is limited, so shop floor data comes from operators clocking in and out rather than from controllers, and any automatic utilisation measurement needs a separate monitoring product.
  • Reporting is rigid compared with a modern system and most shops end up exporting to Excel for anything beyond the supplied reports, which reintroduces the spreadsheets the system was bought to eliminate.
  • The user interface carries its lineage and takes longer to learn than a current generation web application, which matters most for occasional users such as estimators and purchasing staff.

Nanoprecise Sci Corp

  • The hardware and analytics are inseparable, so you cannot bring your own accelerometers or keep the platform if you change sensor vendor, and every expansion of coverage is a hardware purchase as well as a subscription increase.
  • Per-asset subscription costs scale linearly with the number of monitored machines, so full coverage of a large rotating asset population becomes expensive in a way a traditional route-based programme does not.
  • Nanoprecise is a small venture-funded company, so a buyer standardising a whole estate on its sensors is taking a supplier continuity risk that a Baker Hughes or SKF purchase does not carry.
  • Automated fault classification is only as good as the model for your specific machine type, and unusual or slow-speed equipment is where these systems are weakest, exactly where a human analyst would still be needed.
  • Nothing is published on pricing, hardware cost, gateway requirements or contract length, so total cost for a realistic deployment cannot be estimated without a sales engagement.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

JobBOSS²: What happened to E2 Shop System?

ECI acquired it and merged it with JobBOSS into the combined JobBOSS² line. Legacy customers are directed towards migration.

Nanoprecise Sci Corp: Can I use my own vibration sensors?

No. The platform is built around the MachineDoctor sensor and third-party sensor data is not a supported first-class input.

JobBOSS²: Is it cloud based?

It is offered hosted and on premises. Hosted is not the same as a cloud native architecture, and performance expectations should be set accordingly.

Nanoprecise Sci Corp: Do I need a gateway?

For WiFi and LoRa deployments yes. LTE sensors report directly but carry a connectivity cost.

JobBOSS²: Does it include accounting?

Yes, accounting is part of the product, which is one of the main reasons small shops choose it over an ERP plus separate finance package.

Nanoprecise Sci Corp: Does it tell me what is wrong or just that something is wrong?

It classifies the fault type and estimates remaining useful life, which is the main reason plants without a vibration analyst choose it.

JobBOSS²: Can it read data from my CNC machines?

Not natively in any meaningful way. Data collection is operator driven, so shops wanting spindle level data buy a monitoring platform alongside it.

Nanoprecise Sci Corp: How is it priced?

Per monitored asset on subscription, plus sensor and gateway hardware. Nothing is published; expect a multi-year agreement.
