About

CostRatesAdvisor is the most robust budgeted hourly rates and cost analysis software available to the printing and packaging industry. It analyzes your costs and pinpoints the break-even out-of-pocket cost of your production equipment and services. Enabling you to produce more accurate estimates, make better pricing decisions, increase sales, and grow profits. CostRatesAdvisor benchmarks your labor, factory, and overhead costs and rates against other printing companies and the industry. Find out why your prices may be higher than the competition on certain quotes. Is it your factory costs or your overhead costs that are driving up prices? Maybe your labor costs are too high? It could be specific products or services you provide.

About

PricingForge is a cloud-based pricing intelligence tool designed to help businesses calculate true product costs, understand unit economics, and make confident, data-driven pricing decisions without relying on complex spreadsheets. It acts as a centralized “pricing command center,” where users can input raw materials, labor, and overhead costs, and automatically generate accurate cost breakdowns for each product or service. The platform distributes fixed expenses such as rent, salaries, and utilities across all items, revealing the real cost per unit and eliminating hidden losses. It includes a smart cost calculator and profit simulator that allow users to test pricing scenarios before committing, showing how changes in price, volume, or discounts affect profitability in real time. Businesses can instantly see how much they can discount without losing money, evaluate “what-if” scenarios, and identify which products generate the most profit.
