Manufacturing software that builds product cost from its materials
A factory turns materials into products, and every conversion has a cost. When the system doesn't track that conversion, the selling price becomes a guess built on an old cost — the most dangerous foundation a pricing decision can have.
From raw material to finished product
Bills of materials
Define a product's components, and a work order consumes the materials and adds the product at its computed cost.
Work orders
Every production batch has an order, a document and a stock effect, so you know what was produced and from which materials.
Production waste
Record waste within the order so it enters product cost rather than appearing as a stock variance later.
Stage stores
Separate raw, work-in-progress and finished goods, so you know where value is sitting at any moment.
Pricing on a real cost
When product cost is computed from its materials and waste on every work order, your margin becomes a number you know rather than an estimate. That matters most when material prices rise: you see the effect on each product immediately instead of discovering it in the quarter's result.
Common questions
Does it suit simple assembly?
Yes. Simple assembly needs only a bill of materials and a work order, and the more complex production stages can be ignored. You aren't forced into complexity you don't need.
Does product cost change as material prices change?
Yes. Cost is computed from material cost at the time of the work order, so today's orders carry today's prices while older orders keep their original cost.
