Reduce purchasing costs and increase purchasing performance
Using the 4cost costing software in purchase departments guarantees you a maximum transparency with regard to offers and pricing structure of your suppliers. Use the innovative 4cost calculation tools to quickly create detailed cost analyses of purchased parts (should cost analyses) at any time. The generated results provide you with comprehensible information about how high the price of a purchased part should be and how changes in the specifications may affect the price. Use the results to provide your suppliers with valid target costs goals already at the enquiry phase (build to specification). You can use this method across your entire parts spectrum (A, B and even C parts).
