ENGINEER TO ORDER SUCCESS
What can you expect when you partner with a team that truly understands what it means to be ETO?
Engineer To Order manufacturers face unique needs, delays, and other struggles that most machine builders don’t. That’s why Total ETO is known for our Dynamic BOMs.

Our Dynamic BOMs are also loved in procurement:
- Issue and revise RFQs and POs with just a few clicks.
- Add POs and make revisions as changes occur including revised delivery dates.
- Reserve inventory by project and see remaining availability.
- Know all the parts you have received, what you’re waiting for, and what parts are late in real-time.
Additionally, Total ETO simplifies the sales process:
- Automatically roll up estimated material and labor for different equipment to a project’s total cost.
- Copy similar project elements from past projects using budget or actual costs.
- Easily add and modify labor and material lines by type to compare to actual values as the project is completed.
- Record and track estimates to completion for accurate percentage complete revenue recognition.
- Provide sales essential estimating information to secure and quote future projects.

We are so much more efficient in our project BOMing, parts order estimates, purchasing, receiving, job kitting, etc. There are lots of great administration tools for management for Time Cards, cost tracking, quoting etc.
Pros
This software enables our Engineering company and Procurement departments to connect fluently. Before ETO, we battled synchronization of BOM updates and requirements of purchasing. Parts quotes, packing slips and Purchase are very quick and simple. We love the SolidWorks Import add-in from the Engineering perspective. The customer service is excellent and response time for questions and customizations is miniscule. I appreciate that ETO is open to improvements and suggestions that are tailored to each company's needs.
Cons
It's Microsoft Access based and it takes a little bit of time to get used to. Once you are accustomed, it works very well for our needs.

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
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.

It is better than other tools I have used in the past for the same BOM management work. Sure there is room for improvement but the base structure is much better than the competition.
Pros
It's ability to manage the master BOM of released/unreleased material is very helpful. Having used other BOM management software I was very happy to switch back. The parts database is easy to use. Creating new parts is very quick and easy.
Cons
It's ease of use and flexibility can be a weakness if the permissions are not used appropriately. Manufacturers with easy to mistype/misspell names can end up in the system 3 to 4 different ways. (AKA Allen-Bradley, Allen Bradley, AB, etc.) The new security settings may prevent this in the future.

The team at TotalETO was extremely helpful with implementation. Making the switch to TotalETO required us to rethink our job-flow. Their team was eager to offer suggestions, answer questions, and help improve our process to use TETO to its fullest!
Pros
BOM integration with our CAD software (SolidWorks) is a huge time saver. I can release the BOM for a very large assembly (1000 different manufactured / purchased parts) in less than 5 minutes.
Total ETO makes job tracking from the quoting stages to the closing very straight forward. Costing and profits margin can be tracked the entire way.
Cons
An updated web-version with Data Dashboards would be nice - but last I heard their developers are working on this. They already have an online platform for Time-entry, so I suspect they will build from there. Very excited to see this grow!
