Trakware Receives Praise as Solution to Limited ETO ERP Solutions

June 23, 2012 - PRLog -- Trakware's innovative and proven parametric configuration engine provides leading benefits to estimating, manufacturing, and engineering, throughout the entire project lifecycle.  ETO companies may utilize a very cost-effective leasing solution following the initial demonstration.  

Trakware (www.trakware.com) specializes in lean business-critical functions such as estimating, advanced scheduling, job costing, production management and labor as well as material shop floor data collection. Engineer-to-order is a style of manufacturing rather that one specific industry grouping. TRAKware software allows any manufacturer with unique requirements of a custom engineered-to-order business, in any industry, to have total control of each and every order through the plant. Trakware is the leader in delivering innovative solutions for project-based manufacturers.

Trakware  Systems works to overcome the limitations of ETO ERP solutions and has quickly become the leading software solution for To-Order enterprises which have deep interdependencies between engineering and manufacturing processes.
According to Randy Richel, CEO of Canadian-based Trakware Systems, “Enterprise software built for repetitive manufacturing needs massive amounts of customization to even begin to adequately handle the complex, unique, one-time requirements of custom-engineered products. TRAKware Software is ready to meet these challenges by bringing an application to allow To-Order (engineer to order, make to order) environments a competitive edge.”

TRAKware was whole-heartedly endorsed by Connie Fuller of HWI, who noted, “The upgrade was quick with minimal down time. Our staff was able to access the new version in less than one hour…Doc links supports our need for drawings, documents, specs and communication to be accessible and shareable between users and linked appropriately to the right locations such as purchasing specs linked to Purchase Orders and Drawings linked to work orders. New features in Material Management allows our production staff to manage inventory; these improvements will directly provide a financial impact in inventory control, work order costs and production schedules by having adequate quantities on hand, the ability to fulfill demand from exiting stock and accurately track work order/project costs as the system was designed to do. New filters and views present opportunities to drill down to details for better evaluation of inventories, products and project detail. Accounting interface with our SAGE Timberline accounting software supports our business design of keeping the production details in Trakware and sending summary financial information to our accounting system”.
Richel also noted, “ETO woodworkers, fabricators, and other custom manufacturers experience dramatic gains in profitability and productivity through capabilities that address core business issues in new ways”.
