Built for Manufacturers, Not Accountants

Why manufacturers lose margin on material costs

These are the three most common BOM costing problems that silently erode quotation profitability for Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers.

Spreadsheet BOM errors cost you margin

Manual Excel BOMs break formula chains, duplicate line items, and miss scrap recovery credits — silently destroying your margin on every quote.

Landed cost surprises kill profitability

Import duties, customs handling, freight per node, and packaging aren't captured per BOM line — they're estimated as a lump sum and usually wrong.

Material rate staleness goes undetected

Steel prices change monthly. Your spreadsheet doesn't tell you which quotes are using rates from 6 months ago. QuotationDeveloper flags expired rates instantly.
