Monitor target and planned vs. actual costs across all products in production, down to component level, fully automated, and understand changes and root causes.
Once the product enters the volatile ramp-up and production phase actual costs are available in the ERP.
Most of the times actual costs fail to meet planned targets, and margins begin to leak.
The most impactful cost actions stay untouched while time gets spent on the wrong problems.
Margin leakages stay hidden
As portfolios grow, cost risks become impossible to manage manually. Price changes, BoM updates, cost patterns and margin erosion stay invisible until they show up in the P&L.
Changing variables
A product portfolio is not one ERP export. Multiple products, configurations and large BoMs create millions of data points. Manual processes can't keep up with the speed & complexity today.
Missing prioritizations
With limited resources, teams struggle to know which changes to prioritize for the biggest impact and where cost-down actions are already ongoing. Teams spend time on tasks that have no P&L impact.
Our Portfolio Cost Controlling module gives decision makers a fully automated, always-current view of cost trends and margin risks across all products, so they can act before profitability suffers.
Key Features for Portfolio Cost Controlling
Portfolio cost dashboards
Full product lifecycle cost management KPIs reporting across all products.
Automated cost gap detection
Identify gaps between development costs and serial production actuals automatically.
Root cause analysis
Trace cost changes to component level to understand what changed and why.
Cross-product cost comparison
Compare products & configurations to find duplicates and synergies hidden in spreadsheets.
Action management
Define, assign and track cost-down initiatives with clear ownership and measurable impact.
Margin risk alerts
Get notified when and where margin risks emerge before they show up in the P&L.
Management & Finance
Get a live, portfolio-wide view of cost trends, margin risks, and cost-down progress across all products — without waiting for monthly reporting cycles. Make investment and pricing decisions based on current data.
Product Management
Track margin performance against the original business case once the product is live. Know early when a product is drifting below its target margin and react based on live data.
Cost Management / Product Controlling
Identify which products are driving margin erosion and which cost-down actions are already running. Prioritize resources based on actual P&L impact rather than volume or gut instinct.
