Materials
Include the quantity and cost of materials consumed by the manufacturing job.
Manufacturing costing software South Africa
Calculate the real cost of making the product before setting the selling price.
Epicore manufacturing costing is designed to bring the major cost inputs around a production job into one calculation. Materials, machine time, labour, sundries and operations can contribute to total cost before markup is applied to support a selling-price decision.
Connected capability
Keep the workflow inside the wider business record.
Machines
Use machine information and production time as part of the costing model.
Labour
Include labour rather than hiding it inside a general markup percentage.
Sundries
Account for smaller consumables and supporting costs that affect real margin.
Operations
Structure operational production inputs around the work required.
Markup & selling price
Apply markup after the cost base is visible to support a more controlled selling-price calculation.
Why it matters
Margin problems often begin with incomplete costing
A product can appear profitable if the calculation includes only raw material. Machine time, labour, consumables and other operations may reduce the actual margin significantly. Epicore's manufacturing module is designed to make these inputs visible before the final selling price is set.
