Operational Impact
The implementation of Total ETO brought about significant operational improvements for Keltour Controls. The system's efficient timekeeping feature reduced the workload for the accounting and payroll departments, and provided almost-live tracking to projects, enhancing project management. The ability to track inventory in real-time proved invaluable, allowing the company to allocate and assign inventory directly to projects and log leftover inventory for reassignment, thereby minimizing waste. The system also provided key metrics that helped Keltour keep track of projects that may be running over, crucial for maintaining profit margins. The simplicity of the reports generated by Total ETO was appreciated by the staff, who found them easy to run and understand. The system also facilitated consistency between Keltour's facilities in Burlington and the US, with everyone following the same procedures and practices regarding reporting. During the pandemic, Keltour was able to work offline, allocating people to enter in material BOMs and perform engineering tasks. | |
