## Reviews

### "A must\* have for panel shops\!" — 5.0/5

> **Trey** | *22 December 2025* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how streamlined Total ETO is\! From the quoting phase to closing phase, it cleanly takes the project step by step through each division from sales to engineering to procurement and so on. We are building bill of materials so much faster than we were per project and the ability to track labor and material costs throughout the life of the project for decision making is incredibly valuable. The training sessions are also top notch. I'd recommend ETO to anyone and everyone in the Industrial Automation space. Very easy to use\!
> 
> **Cons**: I truly cannot find a single thing I don't like about ETO. It took our previous method of using spreadsheets for everything and now we have a hub where everything is all in one place.
> 
> 10/10. highly recommend. \[sensitive content hidden\] is awesome and the whole team at ETO is committed to supporting you throughout the entire implementation\!

### "TotalETO - Foodmach" — 5.0/5

> **Anthony** | *6 May 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ETO has literally changed the way we do business throughout our manufacturing processes. Tracking, Costings, Process Schedules are all top tier uses we now rely upon within the Business.
> 
> **Cons**: With the advent of the Online ETO portal the app will become a thing of the past. This will certainly help with our processes on day to day tasks tracked within ETO. Whereas once upon a time a Computer was required to access ETO, with the web portal any tablet or phone can access it with a simplified user menu that is ever growing as the Team at TotalETO continues to develop it.
> 
> ETO has been a part of Foodmach for 7 years now. Whilst change was hard at the start, our user base now takes full advantage of ETO within our manufacturing processes and we mostly wonder how we did it before ETO came along.

### "Super flexible, almost too much so" — 4.0/5

> **Daniel** | *2 October 2020* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love being able to find all the information about parts, purchase orders and materials through our use of the BOM features. Tracking items the purchasing group has on order, delivery times to our floor, and then managements expectations of the final product going out the door all can be seen.
> 
> **Cons**: It is almost too flexible and offers almost too many features. From a user perspective, I almost wish I couldn't see all the things that I don't have access to. It muddies up my user experience to see all the other options, reports etc that I can't run myself.
> 
> Love it and it definitely makes our jobs easier. However I do wish the different levels of access had a more tailored system in front of them based on that access level. Get rid of the things a user can't use. And organize things better for each users access level.

> **Pros**: Teto's design was very user friendly and the tools are honed towards engineering and manufacturing which makes the procurement function run smoothly.

> 
> **Pros**: Just did a webinar and I am excited to start using the software for our custom engineering builds

> **Cons**: nothing so far, This will greatly improve our BOMs and processes that we have been needing to update for sometime now
> 
> great love the SW, looking forward to fully deploy this with the rest of the team
