30+ Years Solving Manufacturing’s Hardest Problem
JobPack was founded in 1992 with one clear mission: give manufacturers a better way to plan, schedule, and execute production — without the complexity or cost of enterprise systems designed for companies three times their size.
What started as a focused solution for discrete manufacturers has grown, over three decades, into a platform trusted by more than 1,100 industrial companies across North America and Europe. That’s 1,100+ plant managers, operations teams, and shop floor supervisors who chose JobPack, got up and running in weeks — not months — and never looked back.
We’ve grown through recessions, technology shifts, and the rise of Industry 4.0 — not by chasing trends, but by staying relentlessly focused on what manufacturers actually need: shipping on time, staying on budget, and keeping machines running at full capacity.
Headquartered in Elgin, Illinois, JobPack remains privately owned and deeply committed to the manufacturers we serve. We’re not a venture-backed startup with a roadmap built in a boardroom. We’re a company that grew up on the shop floor — and after 30+ years and over a thousand successful implementations, it shows in everything we build.
JobPack's credibility isn't built on marketing campaigns — it's earned through performance. Over 30+ years of continuous operation, JobPack has built a track record that speaks for itself across the manufacturing software industry.

YOUR ERP ISN’T AN MES.
Have you invested in an ERP with a built-in production scheduler only to be disappointed in its capabilities and lack of operational insight? Many of our clients came to us experiencing this pain point—and we’re more than happy to relieve it. Your ERP is an essential planning tool for your business, but ERP developers often treat production scheduling as an afterthought, leaving manufacturers struggling with an underpowered planning tool.
As an MES, we’re purpose-built to keep your shop floor running. We’re not here to compete with your ERP—we’re here to integrate with it, and ensure that you have the best software tools to run your manufacturing business at every point of your operation.
Proven by 1,100+ Manufacturers. Live in 6 Weeks.
