Costifier

Open Costifier, drop in a CAD file, and get a defensible cost in minutes. The app reads geometry, features, material, and tolerance notes, then compares your design to look‑alike parts from your production history. You see a baseline price, the top matched references, and a confidence score, all on one screen. Tweak batch size, finish, machining strategy, or supplier rates and watch the number update instantly. When you’re ready, export a customer‑ready breakdown with line items for material, machining, setup, and overhead, or push it straight to your ERP as a quote.

For engineers, Costifier is a fast design‑to‑cost checkpoint. Upload a revision and the system highlights what’s driving the delta versus earlier variants—extra setups, tighter tolerances, deeper pockets, or new secondary ops. Try scenarios: swap aluminum for steel, change from 3‑axis to 5‑axis, or test an additive route; each choice shows impact on price and lead time. Build an assembly roll‑up by adding subcomponents and routing steps to see total landed cost before release. Share a read‑only link with sales or procurement to align on targets without chasing spreadsheets.

Operations and sourcing teams use Costifier to standardize pricing logic. Set shop rates, machine hour costs, labor categories, tool amortization rules, and material price lists in one place, then apply them across part families. For make‑vs‑buy, select a supplier profile and let the system generate a target price that reflects their capabilities and historical wins. For repeats, pull last year’s part, update volume and changeover, and get an optimized batch recommendation with EOQ guidance. Attach drawings, routings, inspection plans, and PPAP files so every estimate lives with its documents.

The dashboard tracks RFQs in flight, win/loss trends, and variance between predicted and actuals so you can tune assumptions. Build templates for common geometries to accelerate quoting even further. Control access by role and keep a full audit trail of edits, approvals, and exports. Connect to PLM and ERP via API to sync BOMs, revisions, and attachments. With Costifier, teams move from guesswork to repeatable pricing and reclaim hours on every quote.
