Evaluate. Innovate. Elevate.

Accurate Sourcing and Cost Accounting

A well-defined bill of materials is the cornerstone of inventory management, as accurate product data drives efficient procurement of product components to meet demand. As engineers release product revisions, management gains real-time visibility of cost adjustments, so there are no surprises related to profit margins.
