Worldwide comparative prices
for every industry

A well-known coffee brand reviews its production costs for the coming year and defines new cost targets for purchasing.

Current agricultural commodity prices—especially for coffee beans—are used for coffee capsules. For coffee machines, historical commodity trends in the areas of metal, plastic, and electronics serve as a reference.

With the help of suitable benchmarks, the analysis effort was significantly reduced and ultimately a cost reduction of 7% was achieved.

A company is planning to manufacture low-carbon mobile phone cases using injection molding. To do this, it needs to identify suitable plastics that have a low product carbon footprint and are also cost-effective.

In addition, investments in machinery and production parameters, such as machine cycle times, must be taken into account for the new portfolio.

All planning can be carried out early, in a structured manner, and with just a few clicks—with full transparency and without any loss of information.

A medium-sized manufacturer of heating systems lacks clear guidance on market-driven sales prices.

Although direct costs are known, overhead costs cannot be clearly allocated to individual products due to a lack of documentation.

Industry-standard overhead surcharges enable the company to regain transparency and provide a reliable basis for pricing decisions.

Production costs vary considerably between locations. Wages and salaries differ depending on the country and region, as do location factors such as land and energy costs.

These influencing factors must be systematically taken into account when considering relocation or make-or-buy decisions. A lack of data leads to avoidable additional costs in the long term.

A first-tier supplier therefore analyzes in which region of the world a particular cast part with mechanical processing can be manufactured most economically, taking into account the total cost of ownership (TCO).
