About Product Costing & Pricing
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Product costing calculates the full cost of each product — materials, labour, overheads and selling costs — so prices, discounts and product mix decisions are based on real margins. Standard costing sets expected costs and tracks variances; activity-based costing allocates overheads by the activities that drive them, often revealing that some 'best-sellers' lose money.
Many SMEs price on gut feel or competitor prices. A costing model shows the contribution of each product and the volume needed to break even, which changes negotiations with customers and suppliers.
We build the model from your actual data and integrate it with your accounting or ERP.
