Build

Achieve precise costing and pricing calculations

Key Issue

At this moment, can you be sure that your prices are calculated according to the correct material and operational costs? And what if you could have costing and pricing calculations for your products with nothing more than a few clicks?

Calculating prices for your products might be a complex and tedious task, as well as highly prone to errors if you’re not using an updated and trustable source of information. Additionally, when developing new products, understanding the pricing effects of your engineering decisions might be key to envisage the feasibility of your products by the market prices.
