Case Study: Farason (flexible automation manufacturer) streamlines purchasing and saves a full-time purchasing role with Total ETO

Farason - Customer Case Study

Farason, a 45-employee custom automation integrator in Coatesville, PA, needed an ERP/MRP that matched its engineer-to-order (ETO) processes and integrated with SolidWorks. After finding most vendors required Farason to change their business, they selected Total ETO for its configurability and ETO-specific design to avoid disrupting established workflows.

Total ETO delivered an ETO-focused ERP/MRP with seamless SolidWorks integration, an intuitive grid interface, and rapid implementation with minimal training. The system reduced double data entry and clerical errors, sped BOM release to purchasing, and produced measurable cost savings—Farason cut its purchasing staff from two to one—an outcome Nate Hinks credited to Total ETO’s ability to streamline purchasing.
