Total ETO is a highly specialized ERP solution designed specifically for Engineer To Order (ETO) manufacturers and custom design machine builders in automation, material handling, and original equipment industries. Some key features include:

– Sales & Estimating, Quoting and Change Orders, as well as Spares and Parts Orders.

– Integration with popular CAD applications like SolidWorks or Inventor, as well as other CAD programs such as AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, Catia, Creo, SolidEdge, and more.

– A unique hold & release system that enables engineers to release completed assemblies and long lead items to purchasing early while holding incomplete designs until ready, thus eliminating procurement bottlenecks and improving job completion time.

– Automatic reconciliation of design changes and material requirements, allowing buyers to cancel or return unnecessary orders and save money. Leftover parts can be tracked in the inventory management system for potential future use.

– Tracking of fabrications at all stages, both in-house and outsourced. The centralized Purchasing, Routing, Receiving and Quality Control system ensures that buyers can easily monitor supplier performance and late deliveries.

– Access to over 200 financial and data analysis reports, including Real Time Committed Job Costing, for optimal data management.

– Seamless integration with established accounting systems like QuickBooks and Sage, eliminating double entry and ensuring the best applications for the job.

Total ETO offers affordable tiered pricing starting at $85/user/month, which includes implementation, training, support, and upgrades with no hidden fees. All features and modules are included in the price.

For the implementation of Total ETO, you will encounter several complex alterations that adjust the system's default behavior to better suit your processes. Therefore, when rolling out and updating this implementation, it's essential to ensure that any previously made modifications still function as expected.

Typically, the process begins with manual validation, whereby certain assigned individuals scrutinize existing functionality to ensure it operates correctly.

However, as the validation volume increases, you may find that the process becomes time-consuming, impeding progress and efficiency. Moreover, the human element introduces the risk of errors and the potential for significant issues to be overlooked.

This is where the need for an automated system to replace manual validation activities becomes apparent. Automation can significantly reduce the time and resources spent on validation, enhancing its accuracy and efficiency. Nonetheless, this process presents its own challenges:

• First, there's the issue of constant updates and test maintenance. Total ETO is regularly updated with new versions, which could cause your test automation to fail due to subtle changes introduced in the new release. This could render a large portion of your tests obsolete, thus undermining the very purpose of test automation.
• Second, there's the requirement to hire engineers capable of building automation. These highly-skilled professionals can be challenging to find and represent a substantial investment for your organization.

Fortunately, there's a solution: testRigor. testRigor is a revolutionary human emulator that understands English and conducts tests from the perspective of an end-user. This innovative approach to automation allows your organization to simultaneously achieve multiple key objectives:

1. Enable your existing employees to build test automation, regardless of their technical proficiency. As testRigor is an AI-driven, no-code solution, setting up the environment and building tests becomes a much more seamless and efficient process compared to traditional testing tools.
2. Ensure your automation system is robust enough to withstand the release of new versions. Unlike other systems, testRigor does not rely on the detailed specifics of the implementation. This results in unparalleled stability, saving countless hours each week.
3. Enhance visibility within the team, as anyone will be able to understand the tests and contribute if needed.
