Products Costed This Month

From single SKUs to full product ranges, CostModel handles complex bills of materials with yield-adjusted pricing at every step.

Every Variable,
Accounted For.

Most costing tools stop at ingredients. CostModel goes further — yield losses, labour allocation, overhead absorption, and real-time price feeds in one platform.

Costs Move. Your Prices Should Too.

CostModel pulls live supplier prices into every cost model automatically. When chicken breast rises 2c per kg, your margin calculation updates the same day — not at month-end.

Track by supplier, pack size, or commodity category. Set tolerance alerts when a key ingredient crosses your threshold.
