GEP NEXXE Should-Cost Analysis Software For Enhanced Cost Visibility and Savings

The result – improved visibility into cost drivers, greater savings and better priced products.

Gain Deep Insights Into Cost Drivers, Set the Right Product Prices

Inadequate visibility into cost drivers — and the end-to-end production process — often lead to inaccurate pricing which can weaken your bargaining position with suppliers and make cost cutting difficult. It’s hard to compete on a product’s price without the right cost information. Poor visibility will eventually have a negative impact on your sales figures.

That’s where GEP NEXXE will help. Our should-cost modeling software gives you the power to understand all raw material and manufacturing cost drivers and is designed to help you achieve a final estimate closer to your target price – so you can unlock lucrative cost savings along the way.
