Overview

We know that many of our customers struggle with calculating future product costs. And it’s not surprising, because products that are designed and made in the digital age are becoming increasingly complex. The greater the complexity, the more challenging it is to estimate costs.

In today’s fast-evolving market, companies are facing increasing pressure to provide innovative, customer-driven products and quotations at competitive prices. A lack of visibility into early product costs hurts profitability downstream.
