INDUSTRIES
Built for companies that make things.
If your products are built from a bill of materials or a recipe in SAP, the cost questions are the same: what will it cost, what may it cost, and what happens when prices move. PLP answers them for both.

The same five questions, for both
YOUR ANSWERS
Early · Target · Simulation · Quotation · Profitability
The products differ from one industry to the next. The costing questions do not. Here is where PLP typically starts.
BY INDUSTRY
01
Industrial machinery and equipment
Engineer-to-order products, deep and configurable bills of materials, quotes under time pressure. PLP costs each configuration from its bill of materials and routings at quote stage, so the price reflects what you will actually build.
Most used: Early Costing · Quotation Costing
02
Automotive and suppliers
Target prices come from the OEM, and margins depend on materials, tariffs and where you produce. PLP shows the gap to target early and lets you test material and location changes before you commit.
Most used: Target Costing · Simulation Costing
03
Chemicals
Recipes, batch sizes and raw material prices that move every month. PLP recalculates recipe costs when input prices change and shows which products lose margin first.
Most used: Simulation Costing · Profitability Analysis
04
Pharma and life sciences
Long development cycles, batch recipes and regulated change. PLP costs a product from development onward and keeps every calculation traceable, for pricing and for transfer pricing.
Most used: Early Costing · Profitability Analysis
05
Consumer goods and food
Many recipes and pack variants, and constant pressure from commodity prices. PLP simulates a price shock across the whole portfolio, not one product at a time.
Most used: Simulation Costing · Profitability Analysis
06
Electronics and high-tech
Volatile component prices and short product lifecycles. PLP costs new products early and re-costs them quickly when parts or suppliers change.
Most used: Early Costing · Target Costing

Reads your structures
Bills of materials, recipes, routings and process steps, straight from SAP. Discrete and process manufacturing alike.
2
Values them one way
Material prices, activity rates, overheads and tariffs from your SAP, applied with one costing logic across plants and products.

Answers the same questions
What will it cost, what may it cost, what if prices move, what each variant earns, and whether it pays off over its life.
