Consistent cost data across all systems
Seamless data integration is essential for efficient operations and accurate cost estimation in the industry. The advanced 4cost costing software provides interfaces to Product Data Management (PDM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems. This ensures that your cost calculations are always based on up-to-date and accurate information, avoiding data silos and reducing manual data entry errors.
Interfaces to PDM systems
The interfaces of the 4cost costing software to PDM systems ensure effortless import of product structures, bills of materials and associated metadata. This enables real-time cost analyses as soon as product specifications change, thus supporting well-founded decisions throughout the entire product life cycle.

Interfaces to ERP systems
By using the 4cost ERP interfaces, key business data such as material costs, labour rates and overhead figures can be easily imported. Data integration ensures that calculations always match the company’s current financial and operational data. The elimination of manual data transfer reduces the risk of errors and provides an accurate representation of your actual costs enabling more precise pricing and reliable profitability analyses.

Interfaces to CAD systems
The CAD interfaces of the 4cost costing software allow you to import geometry data, material specifications and manufacturing information from 3D data. The CAD data import offers the possibility to create cost calculations directly based on the product design. Bridging the gap between design and costing enables cost transparency throughout the design process and promotes informed decision-making at the earliest stages of product development.
