Why Should Costing?
Over 80% of product costs are fixed by design, yet we often wait until the design is finished with cost calculations. A missed chance, if you ask us! By should costing early in the process, you can make well-informed decisions and increase your margins. With the ShouldCoster software, you create accurate and consistent should costs at any stage of the process.
The ShouldCoster is a software tool for intuitive product costing enabling users to calculate should-costs accurate & consistently. It is one costing solution for both:
- Detailed Calculations
- Rough Estimates
The ShouldCoster tools bring cost awareness throughout your organization!
