Encompix

Encompix, a Consona ERP solution, is the leading ERP system for engineer-to-order (ETO) and project-based manufacturers. Our ETO ERP software was specifically designed for engineering-intensive companies.

Challenges For ETO & Project-Based Manufacturers

ETO and project-based manufacturers face business challenges that simply cannot be resolved by traditional ERP software. These companies need to be able to provide to customers, manage all aspects of complex projects, deliver on time and on budget—all while keeping a close eye on cash flow. There is intense pressure to reduce costs, shorten cycle times, while maintaining high quality. Finally, engineer-to-order companies need an accurate picture of the profitability of each project in order to comprehend the impact on the business.

ETO and project-based manufacturers typically have most of these characteristics:

• Complex products, long lead times
• Design and build to a project or contract
• Need to estimate and quote to win business
• Uniquely design and build to customer specifications
• Need to track customer revisions
• Purchase material to a project
• Collect actual costs to a project
• Install products on customer's site
• Need to track warranty and provide aftermarket services
• Significant spare parts business
