Software
Project costs at a glance at all times
The Classmate Costpilot software from Simus Systems closes a digitization gap for machine and plant manufacturers: cost information from various digital sources is brought together in a clear and flexible structure and continuously updated.
Product development projects can now be successfully controlled. Continuous project costing automatically obtains the necessary information from various cost sources and displays it in a flexible structure based on parts lists. The quality of the cost information can be increased from estimated values, empirical values and anticipated manufacturing costs to quotation and contract prices. Once imported from ERP systems, values can be updated automatically. This improves the accuracy of the calculation as the development project progresses. The transparent presentation opens up many possibilities for intervention and enables those involved to limit costs at an early stage. If target costs are defined, deviations and their causes can be identified. The browser-based user interface offers expandable description fields, a 3D viewer and access to attachments and additional files. The software integrates with relevant product development systems and enables a direct jump, for example to the processing of a material master in the SAP ERP system. Procurement and production thus gain a platform that combines an overview and direct access options to a shared database.
