Manufacturing / Industrial equipment & machinery
Run the engineer-to-order desk end to end
Evos operators run the project loop for a custom machine build on your ERP, your supplier portals, and your FAT records — intake to crated shipment. They go live in 24 hours, no rip-and-replace.

The reality
A custom machine has hundreds of moving dates, and one slipped vendor confirmation quietly resets all of them.
Every build is its own project. A motor delivery pushes out three weeks, the project coordinator finds out from an email buried in a vendor thread, and the critical path is already wrong. The customer adds an option after the contract is signed, so someone re-prices a change order, updates the schedule, and re-baselines milestones by hand. As the unit nears completion, FAT protocols, test results, and the CE/UL pack get pulled together from drawings and spreadsheets the week before the customer walks the floor. Then the oversized unit needs rigging, export docs, and a delivery window that holds.
None of this lives in one place. It lives in the ERP, the supplier portals, the QA folder, and the heads of two or three people who know how the last build went. The only way it has ever scaled is by hiring another coordinator, another expeditor, another quality admin — each one stitching the same systems together by hand, project after project.
The operators on the desk.
- 01
01
Sales order & project management
Takes the booked order through contract review, sets up the project structure, and prices and routes every change order against the agreed scope and terms.
See the operator−65% of admin time on change-order processing
- 02
02
Production planning & scheduling
Sequences subassemblies, books shop and machine capacity, and recalculates the critical path the moment a milestone or vendor date moves.

- 03
03
Purchasing & supplier management
Places and expedites engineered long-lead parts — motors, drives, castings — chasing vendor confirmations and lining up alternates when a delivery slips.
See the operator−60% of expeditor time on routine follow-up
- 04
04
Quality & compliance documentation
Stages the FAT protocols, records test results, and assembles the CE/UL package and customer acceptance record so the unit ships with full sign-off.
See the operator−60% of compliance-pack prep time per unit
- 05
05
Shipping & logistics coordination
Books rigging and oversized freight, files export documentation, and confirms the site delivery window for the finished unit.

The after
The project runs itself, and people handle the exceptions that actually need judgment.
Schedules recalculate when a vendor date moves, change orders get priced and re-baselined the same day, and the compliance pack is built as the unit is tested — not the week of FAT.
- 55% less coordinator effort spent re-working schedules after vendor slips
- Change orders priced and the schedule re-baselined the same day they arrive
- FAT and CE/UL packages assembled per unit without a week of scramble before sign-off
