  • Job Card Management: Order, receipt, track and sell inventory. The system records audit trails, allows bulk uploads of customers, and more.

Aaron Hooley, ADH Diesel 

"We've put some tools in place with BOA that have helped us out with stock replacement. The app that BOA has, means I don't spend as much time tracking stock numbers and making sure that everything's been reordered - it's all ready to go.  BOA is an excellent business to work with. They've been very supportive and very helpful for any challenges that we've had."  Watch full story here 

Daniel, Southern Explosives 

"The BOAhub software has been really easy to use. BOA has supplied us with tags. Every hose that we make gets a unique ID and if that hose is to blow again or wear again and need replacing, we can pull up the job card on the BOAhub using the unique ID. 

In terms of the BOApod trailer, we've also found that if we are working in tight spaces, we can just take the trailer off and we can still get access to remove hoses and then we can go back up to the trailer to repair the hose." Watch Full Story here.
