Manufacturing costing software is a specialized tool that supports companies in carrying out precise and efficient cost calculations for products and services.

The focus of manufacturing costing software is to provide a precise analysis of all cost factors of a product. This gives companies a clear view of individual components of product costs. This analysis must include detailed information such as the cost of raw materials, parts, labor, third-party services, machine depreciation and the use of production equipment. The software also makes it possible to accurately calculate the time required to manufacture products. It also analyzes the product design in order to develop more cost-effective alternatives.

With the help of our costdata® software, you can optimize your production processes, reduce costs and increase efficiency. It helps you to accurately calculate production costs and prevent unexpected expenditure. The use of resources is optimized and productivity is increased. Our software also provides a clear overview of all cost factors and enables well-founded decision-making.

What are the advantages of manufacturing costing software?

Comparing the costs of different options accurately and efficiently is essential. This provides companies with tangible benefits such as faster quotes for customers, more competitive pricing with higher profit margins and a higher success rate through accurate and well-calculated quotes. Powerful manufacturing cost estimation software enables the efficient calculation of labor costs based on hourly wages and labor times, the management and optimization of machine uptime, and the generation of comprehensive reports and analysis to support decision making. This accuracy and optimization not only helps to reduce production costs, but also gives companies a competitive advantage by enabling them to respond more quickly to market changes and remain more competitive. Thanks to a direct connection to the world's largest cost database, production calculations can be carried out in a few simple steps. This not only saves time, but also money.

A solution that works directly with 3D CAD files is essential. This enables seamless integration of design and cost optimization. Simulation-based cost modeling is crucial to enable a comprehensive analysis of different design options, sourcing alternatives and manufacturing processes.
