JSBS Core
One connected system for engineering and manufacturing.
JSBS Core connects projects, CAD records, ECOs, BOMs, inventory, tasks, manufacturing notes, vendors, purchasing, commercial documents, pricing history, and backups in one customer-controlled Windows platform. Engineering, manufacturing, MRP, and customer/vendor workflows share one operational record.
- Engineering + manufacturing records
- Customer-controlled data
- Solo or multi-user deployment
- MRP purchasing and commercial workflows included
Connected by design
Not a collection of disconnected modules. One operational record across engineering and manufacturing.
JSBS Core keeps the handoff between engineering and manufacturing visible. Open a project and see its CAD records, ECOs, tasks, manufacturing notes, BOMs, inventory references, vendors, and documents. Open any related record and the surrounding operational context remains easy to reach.
- Move between related records without re-searching for the same context.
- See the work surrounding a part, project, change, task, or assembly.
- Reduce duplicate logs, isolated spreadsheets, and “where did we put that?” searches.
- Build reports and documents from information already connected in the database.

Current JSBS Core modules
A dedicated place for every major engineering and manufacturing record.
Each module has a clear job, but none of them stands alone. The descriptions below show what belongs in each area and how engineering, manufacturing, material, supplier, and project records stay connected.
Plan and coordinate
Dashboard
Start with a concise operating view of the work that needs attention instead of opening every register separately.
- See active work, recent activity, and items requiring attention.
- Move directly into projects, ECOs, tasks, inventory, and other records.
- Give each user a faster path into the information they work with most.
Projects
Use the project as the main hub for the job—its number, customer, ownership, dates, status, and every connected engineering record.
- Keep project identity, lifecycle, responsibility, and schedule together.
- See linked CAD records, ECOs, tasks, notes, BOMs, inventory, and contacts.
- Search, filter, close, reopen, and review project activity from one place.
Control engineering records and execution
CAD Tracker
Give every controlled engineering number a searchable record with ownership, status, revision, type, project, and related work.
- Reserve and manage controlled identifiers without a disconnected spreadsheet.
- Keep revisions, status, ownership, and file references close to the record.
- Open the related project, ECO, BOM, tasks, or notes directly.
Engineering Change Orders
Keep the reason, scope, affected records, ownership, dates, status, review, and release context of a change together.
- Connect every change to the CAD records, projects, BOMs, tasks, and notes it affects.
- Keep open, review, approval, release, and revision activity visible.
- Generate a clean ECO document for review, release, or archiving.
Manufacturing Notes
Capture production feedback, recurring issues, lessons learned, recommendations, and floor-level context before it disappears.
- Link a note to the project, CAD record, part, BOM, vendor, ECO, or task it concerns.
- Keep a searchable history of what manufacturing observed and engineering decided.
- Turn informal feedback into a reusable source of engineering knowledge.
Tasks
Put the action, owner, due date, priority, status, and completion history beside the record that created the work.
- Create work from a project, ECO, CAD record, BOM, inventory item, or note.
- See who owns the next step and what is still open.
- Preserve the closeout trail instead of losing it in chat or email.
Parts, assemblies, inventory, and supply relationships
Connect engineering structure to the material and supplier records manufacturing relies on.
BOMs, inventory, vendors, and customers belong close to the projects and CAD records that use them. JSBS Core makes those relationships visible today and creates a practical foundation for expanding material-planning and MRP workflows—without forcing a complicated enterprise implementation.
BOMs
Build and maintain assembly records with line items, quantities, related parts, CAD references, projects, changes, and sourcing context.
- Keep assembly structure and quantities together.
- Connect line items to inventory and vendors.
- Print or save a clean BOM as a PDF.
Inventory
Record the part, manufacturer, quantity, location, reorder information, preferred source, and engineering references in one practical register.
- Track identifying and sourcing information.
- Use simple quantity and location controls where needed.
- See the BOMs, CAD records, projects, and notes using the part.
Vendors & Customers
Keep the people and companies around the work connected to the projects, parts, purchasing activity, and documents they support.
- Store useful contacts and company details.
- Connect vendors to parts, BOMs, and sourcing references.
- Connect customers to projects, records, quotes, invoices, packing slips, and linked document workflows.
Find, report, configure, and protect
The supporting workspaces keep the entire system usable.
Cross-system search, reports, settings, and data controls make the operational modules easier to manage as the database grows.
Search
Search across projects, CAD records, ECOs, notes, tasks, BOMs, inventory, vendors, customers, and other records instead of guessing which register holds the answer.
Cross-module navigationReports
Turn connected records into useful operational views, status summaries, and printable outputs without rebuilding the same information in another spreadsheet.
Uses linked system dataSettings
Configure numbering behavior, project options, appearance, branding, workflow choices, and diagnostic information so the workspace fits the operation.
Controls system behaviorData & Backups
Keep database and backup controls visible, support recovery planning, and maintain the customer's chosen data location and retention process.
Customer-controlled reliabilityClean documents from connected records
The database is digital. Your output does not have to stay on-screen.
Print records such as BOMs, ECOs, project summaries, task lists, and other structured information into clean documents. Keep a paper copy, archive a digital PDF, or share a formal record outside the application.
- Consistent, readable documents built from the current database record.
- Paper output for the floor, review meetings, binders, or job packets.
- PDF output for digital storage, email, customer files, and traceability.
- Less manual reformatting before information leaves engineering.
Data reliability and multi-user compatibility
Reliable by design. Controlled by the customer.
JSBS Core is a native Windows application with a local Core / Solo deployment and a shared JSBS Team deployment. The customer controls where the database and backups live rather than being forced into a public-cloud data model.
The database runs on customer equipment or equipment procured for the deployment. Access and retention remain under the customer's operating policy.
Multiple licensed seats or devices connect to one shared database, giving engineering, manufacturing, and operations one common register instead of separate copies.
Data & Backups gives the operation a clear place to manage backup and recovery workflows around the customer's chosen storage strategy.
Shared records, links, and reports reduce the risk created by isolated spreadsheets, copied logs, and outdated local files.

Questions
What to know before choosing JSBS Core.
Is Core / Solo different software from JSBS Team?
The current application workflows are the same. Team licensing adds a shared database deployment for multiple licensed seats or devices, while Core / Solo uses an individually controlled workspace.
Who controls the database and backups?
The customer does. The database runs on customer equipment or equipment procured for the deployment, and the customer chooses the operating policies around access, storage, backup, retention, and off-site copies.
What does “everything is connected” mean?
Projects, CAD records, ECOs, tasks, manufacturing notes, BOMs, inventory, vendors, customers, reports, and other records can reference one another. Opening a record exposes the related context so users can move through the work without repeating the same search in separate logs.
Can I print records or save them as PDFs?
Yes. Structured records such as BOMs, ECOs, project summaries, task lists, and other supported outputs can be generated as clean documents for paper use or digital PDF storage.
Does JSBS Core work without future automation add-ons?
Yes. The current product includes the connected engineering, BOM, inventory, MRP purchasing, commercial-document, pricing-history, receiving, search, reporting, and backup workflows. Future CAD, manufacturing-package, planning, and communication automation is optional.
How do monthly and annual subscriptions renew?
Subscriptions renew automatically at the selected monthly or annual interval until canceled. Annual billing provides the equivalent of two months free compared with twelve monthly payments. Cancellation is available through Stripe and takes effect at the end of the paid billing period.
What does Universal Perpetual v1 include?
It grants one licensed seat or device permanent use of JSBS Core v1.x with both Solo and Team connection rights. All v1.x updates are included. A future major version such as v2, Team database setup, equipment, custom work, and ongoing support services are separate unless expressly included in the order.
Is database setup billed every year?
No. The $1,000 customer-equipment option or $1,500 JSBS-procured-equipment option is a one-time setup service for a new shared Team environment. Additional seats do not require another setup charge.
Does checkout calculate tax?
Yes. Automatic tax calculation is enabled in Stripe Checkout, with the final amount based on the customer and transaction details collected there.
How are the installer and license delivered?
After a completed Stripe checkout, JSBS securely verifies the purchase and opens the current Windows installer downloads. Solo receives the Core installer. Team and Universal Perpetual v1 receive both the Core and Team Database installers. The optional one-time database setup is a professional deployment service, not a fee to unlock the installer. License details are sent automatically by email, and future versions are delivered through the protected in-app update services.
Is JSBS Core an MRP system today?
Yes. The current release connects BOMs, inventory, vendors, RFQs, purchasing, receiving, pricing history, invoices, and packing slips in one database. Deeper automatic shortage, scheduling, and production-planning features remain on the roadmap.
Does JSBS Core replace every ERP or PLM system?
JSBS Core is a connected manufacturing-operations and engineering platform with current MRP purchasing and commercial workflows, plus deeper planning and automation on the roadmap. It can replace many disconnected logs and focused workflows, and it can complement larger ERP or PLM systems. It is not positioned as a replacement for every finance, accounting, payroll, or enterprise-planning requirement.
Connect engineering, MRP, purchasing, and commercial workflows in one system.
Choose monthly or annual access, or secure permanent use of the complete JSBS Core v1 product line.
