An MRP designed for Custom Machine Builders
ETO manufacturers struggle with most MRPs but do appreciate BOM generation features, part tracking, and order management. That’s why many Custom Machine Builders need a system that’s part ERP, part MRP, and completely designed for custom machining.
The return on investment for an ERP or MRP solution is impressive. A study by Nucleus Research found that for every dollar invested, manufacturers see an average of $7.23 in return.
As an Engineer To Order manufacturer, these are the top features that will boost your efficiency, accuracy, and profitability. Click each feature to expand:
Integration with CAD
It’s important to have smooth transitions in your ERP/MRP, creating a better workflow. Custom Machine Builders have an additional integration that they cannot compromise on though, which is connecting your system to CAD. This makes your BOMs dynamic, providing greater flexibility and savings.
Inventory & Purchasing
Managing an organization’s inventory is what MRPs were designed for in the first place. These days, however, inventory modules work with distribution, manufacturing, sales, customer support, and more. Tools such as warehouse management, bid and spend, compliance, and supplier management are also beneficial during procurement.
Supply Chain Management
ERPs and MRPs typically enable organizations to have a bigger picture of the supply chain. This helps reduce expenses, supervise demand, prevent mistakes, and automate finances. Such information also helps to predict bottlenecks, keeping your projects on time.
Business Intelligence
Your MRP system should supply users with data to analyze and improve operations. This is an important, additional feature above and beyond what any project management software can provide. These reports help ensure organizational leaders make strategic decisions based on real-time data.
Accounting & Finance
Accounting tools generally support accounts receivable, accounts payable, tax reporting, time tracking, and general ledger tasks. In some cases, the accounting system that the business already uses for these tasks can also integrate with the MRP system, making it a seamless operation. For example, Total ETO integrates with QuickBooks, Sage, and other popular programs.
Award winning software, trusted by hundreds of Custom Machine Builders
“Total ETO has improved our job costing metrics, providing enhanced operational decision making and production efficiency”.
Ben Baker, Program Manager
“We’ve managed to take all inventory tasks away from our workshop manager to better utilize his time. But just having the ability to break things down and that ability to track each piece of equipment has been the biggest benefit for us, by far”.
David Hoskins, Operations Engineer
“We implemented Total ETO roughly 18 months ago. Can honestly say it has greatly streamlined many facets of our project data, overall engineering accuracy, and provides a single point for project reporting. The only disappointment is that we wish we made this move 5 years earlier“.
