Product costing is central to the critical decisions manufacturers make every day - the products you make, the prices you charge, the tactics you implement to improve processes, and the strategies used to achieve the company's goals. Timely access to meaningful cost data is essential to protecting margins and growing profits.

The Product Coster, powered by ImpactECS, is a cloud-based application designed to quickly calculate, analyze, share and maintain detailed, accurate, and actionable product cost results.

Improve decisions with access to the details.

Stop basing critical business decisions on inadequate spreadsheets. Get access to summary cost and margin information for each SKU produced at a glance. Then, see the detailed cost results calculated using common cost categories like consumed/waste, fixed/variable, or cash/non-cash and custom attributes you define that are relevant to how your company makes decisions.

Run powerful simulations in a few clicks.

Turn any input or value into a simulation variant and unlock meaningful insights. Choose any of the four different simulation types - cost category, expense type, material or resource group, or a specific material or resource - and quickly determine the impact of the change. The Product Coster identifies the products that are affected by the change, re-rolls the cost values for those products, and provides results and how it compares to the baseline.
