Discover the cost drivers of your products

💲

Purchasing manager

The supplier demands a +20% surcharge. You check whether this is in line with the market and argue with cost drivers.
💲

Commodity Manager

They observe how entire product groups develop over time.
‍
💲

Product Manager

The product is no longer profitable. You identify whether material, energy, personnel or overhead costs are the cause, for example.
💲

Pricing Specialist

You have to explain a price adjustment to the customer and can use drivers to transparently explain why.
How can you check whether a price increase from your supplier is really justified?

Why use the costdata® commodity price tracker?

The costdata® commodity price tracker gives you full transparency about the development of your cost structures.
Our tool is based on current benchmark data and shows you exactly how individual cost drivers - such as material, energy, personnel, packaging, transport or overheads - have changed over time. This allows you to understand whether a price increase is justified, underpin your negotiation strategy with facts and make market-driven decisions.
Strengthen your negotiating position and uncover potential savings in price negotiations.

The process for targeted price tracking.

Entering the basic data

Analysis period: Used to calculate cost changes over a defined period.
‍
Product name: Designation of the product or product group.
‍
Product category: Enables structured filtering and targeted search by category (optional).
‍
Company: Also used for filtering and allocation within the analysis (optional).

Creating supercategories

The user receives a selection of predefined cost structures or can store their own structures in the module. The categories can be individually added, removed or renamed.

Add cost driver development

Individual sub-categories can be created for each main category, which can be linked to the costdata® market data or entered manually as required. The cost share can be defined either depending on the sub-category or as a share of the total product.

Calculation of the market analysis

As soon as all the necessary data has been entered, the calculation of a market-driven development for the selected observation period takes place automatically. Once completed, the analysis can be saved and exported.
