VIANTA PLP

Know what every product costs.
And what it earns.

Joins your bills of materials, recipes, and routings to the prices, rates, and overheads that value them, and keeps the costed structure current, from first design through serial production to phase-out.

Decide
sooner

Reliable product costs in minutes, not weeks, even while the design is still changing.

Trust
every figure

Built from current prices, rates, and overheads, with every number traced to its source.

See what each product and variant really contributes, and where margin is at risk.

Invest
wisely

Invest wisely

Base investment decisions on the same cost foundation as daily operations.

The cost questions that matter most come up before the data to answer them is ready.

The result is spreadsheets: costs rebuilt by hand, product by product, out of date by the time they are presented, and too slow for the decisions a sudden change demands.

IN DESIGN

No structure in ERP yet

The product exists only as an engineering structure: no bill of materials, no routing, often no price for new parts, yet the biggest cost decisions are taken now.

IN PRODUCTION

Built for another purpose

Bills of materials and routings sit in ERP, maintained for production planning and inventory valuation, not for what-if questions across many products.

ALL THE TIME

Change comes fast

Tariffs, trade restrictions, material prices, and exchange rates can shift overnight, often for geopolitical reasons. Companies need to know quickly which products are hit, by how much, and what they can do about it.

One foundation. Five questions.

Run any one of them on its own, or all five together.

A product that exists in
PDM but not yet in ERP.

Engineering has built the structure. The prices, activity rates and overheads
that would value it are in ERP, attached to a product that hasn't been created there yet.
Nobody has bridged the two, so the product has no cost.

In a plant this is a bill of materials and a routing. In a recipe house it is a recipe and its process steps. Same foundation.

Core Capabilities

AI assistant

Estimates missing prices, spots unusual ones, answers portfolio questions in plain language, and explains why any cost changed.

SAP integration

Knows where the right bills of materials, routings, prices, and rates sit in SAP, and reads exactly those.

Mass simulation

Where-used analysis and thousands of cost variants recalculated in a single run.

Your costing logic

Costing sheets and a formula editor for overheads and surcharges, applied consistently.

Security and openness

Role-based access through the authentication and authorization services of SAP Business AI Platform, plus an MCP server for the AI workplace you already use.

Lifecycle business cases

Volumes, investments, one-time costs, inflation by plant, and tariff changes, with break-even and payback.

Every calculation runs on a deterministic engine: the same inputs always give
the same cost. AI is built in where it saves time, never in place of the arithmetic.
