ERP for Engineer-to-Order and Job Shops
We help ETO manufacturers and job shops implement Microsoft Dynamics Business Central in a way that actually supports how your work gets done.
*No sales pitch. We'll tell you what actually makes sense.
Why ETO and Job Shops Get Burned by ERP
Engineer-to-order breaks most ERP assumptions.
You do not have stable BOMs, predictable routings, clean forecasts, or repetitive production orders.
Instead, you have evolving projects, custom designs and revisions, quoting tied to engineering, and labor and material tracked across jobs.
Many ERP partners try to simplify this.
That is usually where things go wrong.
How We Design ERP for ETO and Job Shops
We design around projects, not templates.
We keep engineering and quoting connected so what you sell matches what you build.
We provide job-level visibility into labor, material, and margin.
We design for real-world change, including revisions, substitutions, and partial shipments.
Designed for when schedules slip and specs change.
Who We Work Best With
We're a good fit if you:
- Are an engineer-to-order or job shop manufacturer
- Run work as projects, not repeat production
- Care about job-level visibility and margin
- Have been burned before by a previous ERP attempt
- Want experts who have seen this before
ETO ERP done wrong is expensive.
We'll help you get it done right.
What This Looks Like in Business Central
When configured correctly, Business Central can support:
- Project-based manufacturing workflows
- Custom and evolving BOMs
- Accurate job costing and WIP
- Phase-based billing and revenue recognition
- Clear visibility across engineering, purchasing, and the shop
- Extensions where needed without over-engineering
If you have been told Business Central cannot really do ETO, it usually means it was not designed properly.
