Cost Engineering software
Advanced manufacturing cost calculation software designed by engineers for engineers. Accurately calculate time and costs, monitor CO2 emissions, and improve profitability.
Powerful features
Cost Engineering combines advanced manufacturing cost calculation with environmental monitoring to help you deliver on time, improve competitiveness and increase profitability.
Accurate Cost Calculation
Precisely calculate manufacturing time and costs with advanced algorithms
CO2 Emissions Monitoring
Track and report your environmental impact with detailed emissions data
Multi-user Collaboration
Centralised database for team access across departments or locations
Real-time Estimating
Create detailed manufacturing estimates directly from CAD inputs
Resource Planning
Optimise production schedules and resource allocation for maximum efficiency
Historical Analysis
Compare estimated vs actual manufacturing data for continuous improvement
Comprehensive cost management
Cost Engineering provides the tools you need to manage every aspect of manufacturing costs, from initial estimation to performance analysis.
Estimation & bidding
Create detailed estimates based on historical data and industry standards. Calculate quotation, cost price, bid price, should cost, and will cost with confidence.
Apply customer-specific markup and discount rates, with tooling costs that can be amortised over order quantities or retained as fixed charges.
Real-time costing
Calculate manufacturing time and costs in real-time with parameterised part definitions that quickly update when specifications change.
Use learning curves for each manufacturing resource to account for time reduction through repetition, and apply cost breaks for bought-out items and subcontract operations.
Comprehensive reporting
Generate predefined reports for manufacturing processes, estimated vs. actual times, bid prices with quantity breaks, and assembly lists.
Create user-defined reports for shop floor documentation, purchase orders, MRP/ERP export, internal workflow, and customer quotations with built-in email.
Industry applications
Cost Engineering software delivers precision and efficiency across multiple manufacturing sectors.
Precision engineering
Calculate manufacturing costs accurately for complex precision parts, improving quote accuracy and profit margins.
Aerospace & defense
Meet strict quality standards and documentation requirements while maintaining precise cost control.
Automotive
