Know the True Cost of Every Product You Sell
Most costing sheets are out of date the day after they are made. Our AI pulls raw material, labour, overhead and freight together from your own systems, keeps the number current as prices move, and tells you where your margin is thin.

A stale costing sheet quietly eats your margin
When the real cost of a product is wrong, every price built on it is wrong too. The gap only shows up once the money is already gone.
Count everything the product actually costs
Material and labour are easy to see. Overhead, freight, duties and handling are the parts that get left out, and they are often where the margin goes. The AI adds them all in, so the figure reflects what a product really costs to have ready to sell.
- Raw material, labour and overhead in one place.
- Freight, duties and landed costs included.
- A cost you can price against with confidence.
Costs that update themselves when prices move
A supplier raises a price, freight goes up, a wage rate changes. Instead of waiting for someone to rebuild the sheet, the AI reflects the change and updates the affected products, so the cost you look at today is the cost as it stands today.
- Price changes flow through on their own.
- No waiting on a monthly rebuild.
- Every product stays current, not just the top ones.
Every product cost is built from four layers
The AI puts these together for each product and shows how the total is made up, so nothing is hidden inside one lump figure.
From your records to a costing you can trust
The cost layers most sheets leave out
These are the numbers that quietly change the answer. The AI accounts for each one so the total holds up.
Material cost
Components and inputs priced from your latest purchases, not a figure someone typed in last year.
Labour cost
The real work per unit from your production data, so busy and slow runs are both reflected fairly.
Overhead share
Running costs spread across products on a basis you control, instead of a blanket mark-up.
Freight and duty
Inbound freight, duties and handling folded in, so imported and local items are compared honestly.
Wastage and scrap
Yield loss and scrap counted where they apply, so the cost matches what you actually consume.
Price movement
Recent supplier and rate changes carried through, so a rising cost shows up before it hurts.
