Case Study: dds Automated Machinery Design Inc. achieves major labor savings and seamless SolidWorks BOM integration with Total ETO

dds Automated Machinery Design Inc. - Customer Case Study

dds Automated Machinery Design Inc., a 25-employee custom automation firm in Cambridge, Ontario, faced time-consuming, error-prone double entry of Bills of Materials (BOMs) from SolidWorks into spreadsheets and difficulty locating spare parts. To solve this CAD-to-ERP gap they chose Total ETO to provide an integrated engineer-to-order system that would import BOMs and centralize project data.

Total ETO implemented its ERP with native SolidWorks integration, a single database, configurable reporting and real-time spare-parts tracking, eliminating duplicate data entry and reducing clerical errors. The result for dds was significantly fewer man-hours spent on data entry, faster access to historical designs for quoting, improved purchasing visibility, and measurable labor cost savings — delivering a strong return on investment over 18 years of use.
