Is MRPeasy a Good Fit?
MRPeasy is a capable MRP tool — and for a small manufacturer running repeatable production of standard products, it might be exactly what’s needed. But if you’re an Engineer To Order manufacturer, you’re not running standard products. Every job starts with a custom quote, evolves through engineering changes, demands Dynamic BOMs, and requires procurement decisions to be made before the design is even finalized.
MRPeasy was built for the broad world of small manufacturing — food & beverage, consumer goods, automotive parts — and that breadth comes at a cost: no CAD integration, no dedicated change order management, no staged BOM release, and limited support for the kind of complex, project-driven workflows that define ETO. Total ETO, by contrast, has spent nearly three decades solving exactly those problems and nothing else. When your business lives or dies by how well your software handles engineering complexity, the question isn’t whether MRPeasy is easy — it’s whether easy is enough.
