Pros:

I love how streamlined Total ETO is! From the quoting phase to closing phase, it cleanly takes the project step by step through each division from sales to engineering to procurement and so on. We are building bill of materials so much faster than we were per project and the ability to track labor and material costs throughout the life of the project for decision making is incredibly valuable. The training sessions are also top notch. I'd recommend ETO to anyone and everyone in the Industrial Automation space. Very easy to use!

Cons:

I truly cannot find a single thing I don't like about ETO. It took our previous method of using spreadsheets for everything and now we have a hub where everything is all in one place.

Reasons for switching to Total ETO

For enhanced visibility for team members and project tracking.

Vendor Response

Dynamic BOMs really do make things faster, much faster! Thanks for the great feedback, Trey!

TotalETO - Foodmach

ETO has been a part of Foodmach for 7 years now. Whilst change was hard at the start, our user base now takes full advantage of ETO within our manufacturing processes and we mostly wonder how we did it before ETO came along.

Pros:

ETO has literally changed the way we do business throughout our manufacturing processes. Tracking, Costings, Process Schedules are all top tier uses we now rely upon within the Business.

Cons:

With the advent of the Online ETO portal the app will become a thing of the past. This will certainly help with our processes on day to day tasks tracked within ETO. Whereas once upon a time a Computer was required to access ETO, with the web portal any tablet or phone can access it with a simplified user menu that is ever growing as the Team at TotalETO continues to develop it.

Reasons for choosing Total ETO

Support, from our first trials in a dummy database through to trial projects setup to see how it could be used in our senario. Every step of the way, TotalETO where on call for support with constant communications back and fro to develop and implement ETO within the Business. 7 Years on, and just recently I had need to contact support for some help in a problem that was a user error on our behalf. No blame shifting, no pointed fingers, just a Zoom call with of all people the President of TotalETO RJ, himself. Problem was fixed in no time and as always such an easy process and extended support if required to undo our mistake. You cant ask for more than that. Cheers RJ!!

Vendor Response

Hi Anthony, thank you for your support. Your team has been great to work with and we've enjoyed being able to see some of your innovative solutions over the years. Glad to hear how much you guys are still benefiting from our ERP.

Super flexible, almost too much so

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.

Ease of use

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.

Pros:

That it tracks everything we order, I can look up past orders with ease. Which makes it easier to reorder parts for future projects since we do that a lot at my company.

Cons:

I would have to say, that deleting something once it's already done can become a pain. Other than that, I can't think of anything else at the moment.

Vendor Response

Hey Jeff, we're happy to hear that you're benefitting from Total ETOs part tracking and inventory management, it's nice to know, too, that you're saving time when ordering components. We would love to know more about the struggle you're having to delete something. We'll have our Customer Success Manager reach out to you and your team to find out more, but please know that you can also contact your project manager, anytime.

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.

Good Managing Project Software

As a QA Manager I have been using various export functions, especially, exports to excel, which helps me to monitor NCR trends, supplier performance and easily generate presentation graphs and diagrams. Overall it is a good software, works well with SolidWorks, easy to use, and satisfies all engineering, purchasing and administrative needs for our company.

Pros:

Questica is good for managing projects and keeping track of items used on each project. The search functions work very well to identify past projects or parts orders which is a great help in correctly quoting parts. The reports are also very detailed which aids in many tasks such as looking up costing to quote a similar project. When you get familiar with it you get all the info you need. It’s very user friendly in terms of entering info and very forgiving if you need to correct something. Most of the functions are fairly intuitive and the available reports give you several different options for disseminating information depending on what you’re looking for.

Cons:

Improvements I would like Ability to link documents in areas other than sales order (i.e. Purchasing – link quotes to PO’s) Ability to create simple parts quotes

Intern's review on Total ETO

With my short time in engineering, Total ETO has been a very positive experience. It's easy to understand and learn once you open the program and start using it for a couple of days.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

As a young new engineer, the total ETO platform provided a quick and easy way for me to edit the Bill of Materials for our projects. I like that it automatically saves part information across projects when it is entered the first time. This saves time and confusion for me because most likely a part that I need has been used on another project before. Another great feature is the ease of creating assemblies that make a group of parts that can be repeated as much as needed.

Cons:

With my experience so far I think the only con I have is from slow loading speeds which are most likely a network issue on my end.
