Calculate the carbon footprint of your products for their entire life cycle

4cost-aces/sustain offers you numerous features for accurately calculating the product carbon footprint and the associated costs. The software provides all the key figures you need to reliably determine and reduce the carbon footprint of your products.

Areas of application: Manufacturing and production, transport and logistics, packaging, disposal, compensation through certificates

Costing software as a service

Use all 4cost costing tools conveniently in your browser. Without prior installation. Regardless of hardware and operating system.

The 4cost Web Edition offers all the advantages of the classic desktop version, but with more flexibility and greater convenience.

Parametric cost analyses for successful product cost management from the first day onwards

4cost-aces enables you to create valid, resilient cost calculations for the development and production for electronic and mechanical components and assemblies. As well as for software estimates and complete projects, including all possible tasks, in a short time, all this in early phases without detailed knowledge. After completing a cost analysis, a comprehensive LCC evaluation can be conducted too.

Areas of application: Development-accompanying costing, Design-to-Cost, Development costs, Prototype costs, Manufacturing costs, Production costs, Software development costs, Lifecycle costs, Total cost of ownership, Value analysis, Quotation costing, Target Costing, Should-cost analysis, Purchase price analysis, Greenfield, Brownfield

Standardised bottom-up calculations with high comfort and maximum transparency

4cost-structure enables you to quickly create consistent, transparent, comprehensible detailed calculations with the highest cost accuracy. With this software, you standardise your costing methods and create a common understanding of costs in your company.

Areas of application: Multi-level overhead costing, Preliminary costing, Final costing, Quotation costing, Development-accompanying costing, Design-to-Cost, Should costing, Purchase price analysis, Target costing, Value analysis

Multidimensional regression analyses for precise cost predictions

4cost-prediction supports and enables you to check the adequacy of costs and prices of products/product groups on the basis of freely definable parameters within the regression tool. With the software, you can easily and quickly identify which specific features of a product affect its costs and price and to what extent. For precise cost forecasts and an increased understanding of costs.

Areas of application: Linear performance pricing, Non-linear performance pricing, Predictive costing, Price forecasting, Should costing, Purchase price analysis, Benchmarking, Supplier and procurement price analysis, Price structure analysis, Target prices, Target costing, Target-performance comparisons

Precise cost calculations and semi-automated work plan generation directly on the 3D CAD model

With 4cost-cadcal you calculate costs and production times of components, assemblies and systems directly on the 3D model. The software combines the high performance of a standardised calculation tool with the visualisation options of a CAD application.

Areas of application: Product costing, Development-accompanying costing, Design-to-Cost, Design for manufacturability, Design for assembly, Value analysis

Overhead cost analyses in seconds with just a few inputs

4cost-scenarioanalyser enables you to map the overhead cost structure of a company very quickly. The calculation is based on a few, generally accessible company data. The software turns costs into valid prices.

Areas of application: Parametric overhead cost analyses, Cost centre information, Contribution margin, Deployment scenarios
