Designed by engineers for engineers, Total ETO material resource planning automation software provides better collaboration, efficiency and accuracy for your job shop.
Total ETO was developed in collaboration with five custom design manufacturers. For over 20 years, we’ve worked with our customers to ensure our system meets your needs today and in the future.
We believe in relationships for life – every single customer is either an engineer-to- order or made-to- order manufacturer. From design, sales, and procurement to manufacturing, accounting and management, we help you improve and grow your ETO or MTO business. *Total ETO was previously Questica ETO.

With our Customer Relationship Management feature, prospecting to final win just got easier. Total ETO interfaces with MS Excel, MS Word and MS Outlook and includes linking of all electronic documents to your project.
Create estimates with greater accuracy using our powerful search wizard.
Total ETO’s powerful Search Wizards are there to help you create summarized or detailed estimates from past jobs, or to load and use pre-designed estimate templates.
Estimation to quotation in one simple step with our graphic project tree.
In our system, users can create a graphic project tree during estimating which provides a visible and easy to understand project overview for sales. Users can set individual margins or sell prices for each job estimate, which Total ETO then automatically rolls up to a total at the project level.
Effortlessly activate the winning job version.
Total ETO makes it easy for sales to win an opportunity. Sales simply activates the winning job version, opens the order screen and enters the key order information. All estimates and pricing are then automatically rolled into that order.
Launch your product easily into the workflow Queue system.
Entering a PO into Total ETO launches the workflow Queue system which presents the project for contract review and acceptance.
Unparalleled control releasing your Bill of Materials to purchasing using our “release and hold” system.
Total ETO offers your design and engineering team the flexibility, power and versatility to create, modify and control the flow of information to and from purchasing. Integrate your BOM with the most popular 3D CAD packages from SolidWorks and AutoDesk.
Early warning status for work in progress through committed costing.
Total ETO features both committed and actual costing. Our engineer-to-order material resource planning (MRP) software offers you a powerful management tool with an early warning system called committed costing. As your staff places orders, allocates stock or logs hours to a job, these costs are reported, in real-time, against the budget.
No double entry during procurement.
Eliminates the need to re-key design data into the business system. Engineering, the shop, or parts and service can submit their material requests to purchasing without any double entry. A configurable single screen work area provides buyers with a full view of all requests and the ability to group and sort by multiple fields.
Receive material and issue purchase orders with ease.
Total ETO helps you simplify the staging of materials for production. Receiving can quickly view POs, log received parts, generate bar code labels, produce quality inspection reports and initiate non-conformance issues.
Accurate, real time, information for shop planning and management.
Total ETO’s workflow queue tracks all jobs; current or past. Total ETO provides pre-production reporting on materials availability and project schedule reporting on job progress. Use our Advanced Assembly Management feature for “on the fly” separation of key assemblies, sub-assemblies or parts for detail tracking of labor and materials.
Simplify your install supervision and service management.
Frequently, ETO or MTO manufacturers include in their contract, supervision of installation or on-site services. In these cases, you simply create a job, as part of the project, then enter the order including costs, activities, documents, notes and transactions.
Simplify parts and standards orders with our fast track system.
Parts and standards orders can flow through your company with minimal disruption. Total ETO features a fast track system, eliminating any need for staff to interrupt your designers looking for BOM information or your buyer looking for historical purchase information. The entire transaction, from estimate to order entry is done from a single screen.
