Costing, production and KPI tools for manufacturers
From raw material to finished goods, manufacturers need costs and production numbers they can trust and update quickly.
Delivered remotely for US and international teams, with overlap into US business hours.
Product costing, bills of materials, production schedules and sales reporting often run across a patchwork of ERP exports and spreadsheets. When input costs move, it can take days to see the effect on margin.
We build costing models, BOM and quoting tools, production planning workbooks and KPI dashboards that pull from your ERP, recalculate instantly and show operations, sales and finance the same version of the truth.
Challenges we see in manufacturing
- Product costs don't update when material or labor rates change
- BOMs and routings are maintained in multiple places
- Production and OEE reporting is manual
- Yield, scrap and downtime are visible only after the shift
- ERP reports don't answer day-to-day operational questions

Frequently asked questions
Can you build a costing model that updates from our ERP?
Yes. We pull current material, labor and overhead rates automatically so costs and margins stay current.
We have a production dashboard already. Can you improve it?
Yes. We often rebuild existing dashboards for speed, accuracy and automatic refresh.
Can it handle multi-level BOMs?
Yes, including sub-assemblies and alternative routings.
Do we need Power BI?
No. Excel dashboards work well; we recommend Power BI only where it clearly adds value.
