Calculation takes days
Totalling cost across hundreds or thousands of items by hand means several days of work each time.

Production cost calculation and forecast — minutes, not days
The system calculates product cost across your whole range, thousands of items, and builds the report in minutes, not days. It also forecasts how an item’s cost will change. Finance works with numbers, not spreadsheets.
ManufacturingFood industryAgriculturePlanning & economicsFinance & analytics
When you carry a lot of items, calculating cost by hand becomes multi-day work. Specialists pull data on raw materials, packaging, and stock from different places, check recipes — and by the time the report is ready, the numbers are already out of date. This solution does the maths for you. It takes data from your database and builds a ready cost report across the whole range in minutes. You can also ask for a forecast — how the cost of a specific item will change if raw materials or packaging get more expensive. The answer comes back right away, in a simple chat format. The figures roll up into a dashboard, with the trend for each item visible at a glance. It fits manufacturing, the food industry, and agriculture — planning, economics, and finance teams, production managers, and analysts who need cost control across a wide range.
The problem
Sound familiar?
Numbers go stale
By the time the report is ready, prices for raw materials and packaging have already moved.
You can’t see what’s ahead
It’s hard to see in advance how a jump in raw-material prices will hit an item’s cost.
Data sits in silos
Raw materials, stock, and recipes live separately and get combined by hand each time.

FAQ
Before you start
How do you automate production cost calculation?
The system connects to the database that holds your item list, raw materials, and stock. From there it calculates cost for each item and builds the report. For Globino this covered 1000+ items, and a report that used to take several days is now ready in minutes.
How does the cost forecast work?
The forecast runs in a chat format: you name a specific item, and the system shows how its cost may change, based on historical data and trends. It helps you see the risk of a rise before it reaches the price.
How many items can it calculate?
There is no limit on the number of items. For Globino the solution covered 1000+ items and builds the report in minutes. Data volume is accounted for when we scope the project.
How long does it take to launch?
Roughly 4–8 weeks from start to a working environment. The exact timeline depends on data volume and the complexity of integration with your accounting system.
How much does it cost?
From $2,000 to implement and from $150/month for support. The final price depends on the size of your item list, data sources, and integrations. Leave a request and we will prepare a free preliminary estimate.
What data does it work with?
Your data on items, raw materials, packaging, and stock. We connect to the accounting system and sources where this data already lives, and set up the calculation around your structure.
What production cost calculation automation is
Production cost calculation automation means the system is connected to your data once, and from then on it calculates product cost and refreshes the report on its own. Instead of manually combining prices for raw materials, packaging, and stock each time, you get ready numbers across the whole range in minutes. Here is how it works. First we look at where cost data comes from and how your item list is structured. Then we connect the sources and set up the automatic report. Separately, we add a forecast: in a simple chat format you can name a specific item and see how its cost will change — for example, if raw materials get more expensive. All the figures roll up into a dashboard that also shows historical trends. For Globino, the solution covered 1000+ items. A report specialists used to spend several days on is now built in minutes — tens of times faster. The finance team spends its time on decisions and pricing, not on manual spreadsheets. The solution fits manufacturing, the food industry, and agriculture, and is assembled around your item list and accounting system.
