Metals
Volatile input prices and energy-intensive production make metals one of the toughest industries for cost management. Iron ore, scrap, and aluminum costs swing unpredictably, while global tariffs and trade disputes reshape sourcing decisions. Add in by-product and co-product costing, plus the growing impact of carbon pricing, and understanding true profitability becomes increasingly complex.
ImpactECS helps metals companies cut through the uncertainty. By modeling every step of the value chain — from raw materials and smelting to recycling and distribution — leaders can pinpoint cost drivers, evaluate sourcing strategies, and simulate the financial impact of market shifts. The result: greater visibility, better decisions, and stronger margins.

Benefits of ImpactECS for Metals
- Model raw material volatility (iron ore, scrap, alloys) to understand margin impact.
- Capture energy and carbon costs across plants and production stages.
- Allocate costs for by-products and co-products to improve pricing accuracy.
- Simulate the impact of tariffs, global trade policies, and sourcing strategies.
- Provide profitability visibility across long, multi-stage value chains.
- Support recycling and scrap recovery programs with accurate cost modeling.
