Case Study: Automac Engineering improves part tracking and project visibility with Total ETO

Automac Engineering cuts missing parts to 1 in 10,000 with Total ETO

Automac Engineering, a New Zealand-based manufacturer of custom conveyors and packaging machinery, faced significant challenges with part tracking and inventory management. Using spreadsheets and inadequate project management software, they struggled with errors, a lack of project visibility, and inefficient scheduling, which led to increased losses despite record revenue. This prompted their search for a new solution, which they found in the Total ETO ERP system.

By implementing Total ETO, Automac Engineering gained full project visibility and robust part-tracking capabilities. The solution drastically improved their operations, reducing the missing part rate from an estimated 1 in 1,000 to just 1 in 10,000. Total ETO provided valuable real-time data, streamlined procurement, and freed up engineering time, leading to a massive reduction in man-hours for certain tasks and significant savings. The vendor's system was a natural fit for their workflow, resulting in increased production capacity and improved cash flow management.
