Costing
Understand the economics of the product you sell.
Connect construction, material consumption and operations to cost — and calculate sales prices with your pricing rules, discounts and visible margin.
Calculate from the actual construction
Two products with the same external dimensions can require different materials and operations. Tomstok’s cost basis therefore starts with the resolved construction: its components, quantities and the work described by the product model.
Sales and production share an explanation of why an option changes the cost. The calculation can be examined through the parts and operations that make up the product.
- What does the product cost?
Materials, waste, operations and rates.
- What do you sell it for?
Price basis, discounts and customer agreements.

See materials, waste and labour separately
See which quantities and assumptions drive cost. Consumption with and without waste allowances is shown separately, as are net dimensions and gross cut lengths. This makes differences in cost between constructions easier to explain.
Operation times and rates form part of the same picture. Your work centres can have their own hourly rates, allowing costing to reflect your manufacturing setup.
Catch missing inputs before relying on the number
Spot gaps in pricing inputs before making a commercial decision. A missing material price or operation rate is shown as a gap, helping your team resolve it and assess how complete the calculation is.
Saved calculations retain the data and calculation version used. A new calculation with changed prices or rules has its own basis, allowing comparison with the historical value.
Manage the selling price for your business
Price products to fit your business: list prices, cost-based pricing, agreements with your customers and discounts. The pricing basis is versioned and can change independently of product data.
When cost and price are known, sales can see the margin and what contributes to it. List price, discounts and fees are shown separately. Accepted prices are preserved when future prices change, keeping your agreements intact.
Use production experience in the next estimate
MES and actual costing connect expected material consumption and labour with recorded production. Variances can be examined in time, quantities and cost for each order or batch.
Management and production gain a shared basis for assessing standard times, waste assumptions and workflows. Improvements are applied prospectively while the original estimate remains available as a reference.
