In our previous blogs, we introduced you to the concept of Engineer-to-Order (ETO) manufacturing and the key challenges that they face in their day-to-day operations.
With these challenges, ETO manufacturers see constant project delays, increased operating costs, and reduced margins from project start to finish. Siloed systems and decentralised data storage further add to their woes as they don’t get real-time view of their operations.
What is needed is ERP software that automates key ETO manufacturing processes and gives them a real-time view of daily operations and processes.
OmegaCube ERP has comprehensive features that enable ETO manufacturers to reduce design-to-delivery lifecycles, and delivery high-quality, custom-products to their customers on time.
Let us look at some key ETO manufacturing phases and how OmegaCube ERP’s features complement each phase.
