A Totally Better ERP/MRP for Custom Machine Builders
This is how ETO (Engineer To Order) manufacturers increase efficiency, accuracy, and profitability.
Is This for Me?
If you design and build custom machinery or equipment, Total ETO was made for you. We are a Totally Better solution for:
"It's eerie how Total ETO mirrored our internal process of custom design."

Our Clients
There’s a lot of reasons why Total ETO is the preferred ERP by small and mid-size manufacturers. We’d love to show you!
From Chaos to Control
Replace disconnected tools, spreadsheets, and homegrown systems with an ERP designed for your ETO workflow.

Disconnected Systems & Spreadsheets Everywhere
2
Engineering-Procurement Bottlenecks
3
Poor or No Shop Floor Data
4
Poor Project Visibility
5
Time Consuming Financial Activities
Our Solutions
“Reusing prior designs is particularly important to estimators and can save staff hours of work when quoting future projects. The one point of data entry and easy accessibility to historical information has led to many cost savings.”
Amar Singh, Senior Partner, DDS Automated Machinery & Design
1
One Source of Truth
When engineering is in CAD, BOMs are in Excel, and purchasing is somewhere else, that means data is being re-entered multiple times, causing errors and delaying ship-time.
Total ETO is a single, integrated system that connects engineering, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, and accounting. Duplicate data entry is eliminated, along with the errors and wasted time.
2
Dynamic BOMs
Engineering doesn’t want to release the BOM until the design is complete, but staff need to start purchasing, particularly long-lead components.
Integrating your CAD with our ERP means the info is updated right from the design, giving procurement and production a live view of current requirements.
3
Digitalized Shop Floor
Tracking labor & parts on the shop floor is difficult and error-prone. Adding to the struggle is storing this info in random spreadsheets, whiteboards, or paper notes.
Total ETO’s mobile interface and shop floor kiosk let you easily clock-in and out of jobs, parts, or groups of parts. You can move & track inventory, receive parts, manage NCRs, and more from anywhere inside or outside the shop.
4
Real-Time Metrics
Management often lacks real-time insight into project status; letting important questions such as “Will this job finish on time?”, “Where are my parts?”, and “What will our profit be?” go unanswered.
With Total ETO, management is empowered by real-time information. Built-in dashboards and configurable reports provide live views of project progress, costs, material status, KPIs, and more.
5
Simplified Project Accounting
Daily and month end processes are arduous, messy, and error-prone. The high volume of AR and AP invoices is painful to track, and it’s hard to track important data such as WIP, POC, and labor.
Total ETO makes it easy to reuse info, which means little to no typing, in a user-friendly interface. You can automate many processes, including the creation of T&M sales invoices and connect them to time cards so nothing is missed or billed twice.
