Simulate and monitor product costs throughout development, before they are locked in production.
80% of product costs are determined during development, yet most companies have the least visibility exactly there. valuemize connects to existing ERP and Excel data, structures fragmented inputs and makes costs visible throughout the full development process. Teams simulate multi-variable BoM scenarios, track target vs. planned costs at component level and close gaps before the design is locked.
Time-consuming data collection
Cost data scattered across ERP, Excel and PLM forces manual consolidation, consuming up to 80% of Cost Managers' time on non-value-adding work and leaving teams with outdated information.
Limited change and gap analysis
Cost changes during development are hard to track and harder to explain. Without structured gap analysis, target costs are missed before anyone notices.
Missing simulation capabilities
Decisions are made without the ability to forecast multi-variable scenarios and sensitivities, leading to surprises and failed business cases.
Before the design is fixed, the data is already fragmented and by the time the numbers are ready, the decisions have been made.
Key Features of Product Cost Planning
Bottom-up BoM simulation
Dynamic cost roll-up with automatic ERP data sync for existing products and parts.
Multi-variable simulations
Simulate price, volume, FX, labor and design options before costs are locked.
Target vs. planned cost
Compare target, should and planned costs in one view, down to component level.
Cost driver insights
Understand how components & assumptions drive the biggest impact.
Profitability simulation
Model product lifecycle margins and what-if scenarios in development.
BoM revision tracking
Track cost & maturity changes across every BoM revision in development.
Cost Management / Product Controlling
Get structured, always-current cost data without manual consolidation. Run gap analyses and track target vs. planned cost at component level without building it from scratch in Excel every time.
Product Management
Track whether the product is on track to hit its margin target at every project gate. Escalate early when cost gaps threaten the business case.
Engineering / R&D
Make design decisions with cost visibility attached. Understand the cost impact of a change before committing. Getting feedback from production
Procurement
Enter supplier negotiations with internal should-cost calculations already done. Validate quotes against simulated cost structures and spots gaps before they become contracts.
Management & Finance
Get reliable cost forecasts for investment decisions and ramp-up planning. No more surprises at the point of market launch.

valuemize is a cross-functional product costing platform developed for industrial companies. Depending on the organizational setup, Cost & Value Managers, Product Managers, Project- and R&D Controllers might serve as system owners. Other departments such as Product Development, Procurement, Production, Finance, Product Management, Sales, and Executive Leadership are key contributors and stakeholders. The platform delivers its full value when all departments collaborate within this unified source of truth.
By streamlining and automating critical workflows, valuemize cuts non-value-added tasks more than 50%, while simultaneously uncovering up to 20% in potential cost and carbon footprint savings. Our platform delivers standardization across multiple global sites, ensuring consistency regardless of location. Even non-experts can easily navigate the intuitive interface and get full cost transparency.
These benefits directly impact your bottom line and sustainability goals.
Unlike spreadsheets that create inconsistent, scattered data requiring manual maintenance and limited simulation capabilities, valuemize offers standardized BoM bottom-up calculation, automated cost monitoring and flexible scenario simulation. While Excel limits product cost calculations to experts and creates knowledge silos, valuemize enables cross-functional collaboration with data-driven insights for each stakeholder.
Yes, we offer a risk-free "Proof of Value" phase that requires no IT integration, allowing you to test the solution with our close support before committing to implementation. This pragmatic approach ensures you can validate valuemize's benefits in your specific environment with minimal upfront investment.
valuemize integrates with major enterprise systems to eliminate manual data handling. Our cutting-edge software architecture and open API framework enable smooth integrations with your existing systems. Clean and connected data is the foundation of effective product lifecycle cost management.
Pricing varies based on your company size, operational complexity, number of licenses required, and deployment preference (cloud or on-premise). We create tailored packages to match your specific needs and ensure optimal return on investment.
valuemize is a product lifecycle costing platform that helps industrial companies automate repetitive tasks, avoid & optimize costs, and enable cross-functional collaboration seamlessly.
