Services · Costing, yield and loss prevention
Costing software for manufacturing, run for you: the real margin per batch, and the metal that goes missing
- What will be running
- Batch costing from raw material intake to finished goods, and a route-and-weight agent on every inbound truck
- By when
- Costing agent live in 30 days; route tracking in 60
- What it saves
- Target: raw-material loss below 0.5% of intake, agreed in writing; margin known per batch, not per quarter
Works with what you already have
What runs on Excel today
Raw material arrives on a weighbridge slip. Consumption is whatever the stores register says. Finished goods are counted at month end. Margin is a number the accountant produces in the second week of the next month, and nobody believes it.
Between the mine and the factory gate a truck loses 400 kilograms and everybody shrugs.
What we deploy
Agents, not features. Each one is listed when it is live.
Batch costing agent
Raw material issued, power and labour per shift, finished goods and scrap per batch. Margin per batch, per line, per customer, by the morning after.
Yield agent
Input to output, by material and by shift. A yield drop is a message the day it happens, with the shift and the operator.
Route and weight agent
Weighbridge at loading, GPS en route, weighbridge at the gate. Unscheduled stops and weight differences beyond tolerance are flagged before the truck is unloaded.
AP and AR agent
Vendor invoices matched to receipts, overdue interest calculated, payment files prepared for your bank portal. Customer overdues named daily.
What it saves
Loss prevention is the fastest. A plant receiving ₹400 Cr of metal a year that cuts in-transit loss from 1% to under 0.5% keeps ₹2 Cr. Costing finds the batches and customers that lose money, which is a pricing conversation you can now have with evidence. AP stops paying overdue interest you were never told about.
The saving is agreed in writing before we build, in loss percentage, margin or overdue interest. Not met in 90 days: we keep working at no charge for up to 90 more days until it is. The guarantee covers the first agent.
The guarantee
In writing, before we build.
One number for the first agent, how it is measured, and the date. Not met in 90 days from go-live, we keep working at no charge for up to 90 more days until it is.
How the first 30 days go
Plant visit. We follow one batch from the weighbridge to dispatch and write down every place a number is created by hand.
Weighbridge, stores and production registers read nightly. First batch costs produced and checked with your plant head.
Yield agent live. The first "which batches lost money" list lands.
Batch costing live. Weekly brief starts. Route tracking scoped: trucks, routes, tolerance.

Questions promoters ask
We know our overall margin. Why does per-batch matter?
Because the overall margin hides the batches that lose money. A wire plant running 40 batches a month with a 14% average usually has eight below 5% and does not know which. Per-batch costing shows them by the end of week three.
How does route tracking stop theft?
Weight at loading, GPS on the route, weight at the gate. Any truck that stops where it should not, or arrives lighter than it left, is a message to you before the driver has signed out. Losses fall because everyone knows the truck is watched.
Can this connect to our bank for vendor payments?
Yes. The AP agent tracks every vendor invoice against receipt and payment terms, calculates overdue interest, and prepares the payment file for your bank portal. You approve; it does not pay without you.
What does costing software for a manufacturer cost?
An implementation fee and a monthly maintenance fee, quoted in writing after a plant visit. Against a single batch found to be running at a loss, it is usually recovered in the first quarter. See how we charge.
