COST INTELLIGENCE

Know what every part should cost. Then collect the difference.

Should-cost models from 2D drawings, similarity analysis across every plant, and price tracking against material indexes, built for buyers rather than engineers.

01

Should-cost from the drawing.

Upload a 2D drawing. Procurable extracts material, dimensions, processes and tolerances, and builds a cost model with material, process, overhead and margin lines.

An LLM reads the drawing and extracts the features. The cost model prices each line against public indexes, so every number traces back to a rate and its source.

Material rates come from public indexes, and the reference is shown in the model.

Similarity analysis.

For any part, see the near-identical parts already in your database: where they are bought, at what price, and how each price has moved against its material index.

Procurable flags price exceptions, the places where price does not track geometry.

Index Watch.

Procurable tracks every part's price against the index for its material, and flags the parts whose price follows the index up but never down.

Price Increase Defense.

When a supplier asks for an increase, Procurable checks it against the material index and the should-cost model, and drafts the response for the buyer to review.

To: Hartwell FabricationRe: BRK-2041 price increase request

Steel plate is up 3% over the last 90 days, which moves the material line on BRK-2041 by $0.21. We can accept that adjustment. We cannot accept 12%: our cost model puts the part at $14.20, and the current price of $16.10 is already above it.

Cost reduction ideas and DFM.

Design-for-manufacturing findings on the drawing that lower cost: tolerances, bend radii, material substitutions. Each one comes with its cost impact, estimated from the model, so engineering can weigh it.

Negotiate.

Select a supplier, a BOM or a commodity. Procurable builds the cost models in bulk, shows the savings opportunity, and sends the supplier the models as targets.

If the supplier pushes back, a two-click market test gets quotes from existing and new suppliers. Every message is drafted by Procurable and sent only after the buyer approves it.

Numbers you can defend.

  • INDEX-BASED RATES

    Material and labor rates come from public indexes, and the model moves when the index moves.

  • AUDITABLE LINE ITEMS

    Every line shows its basis and its rate reference, so a supplier can check it.

  • EXPERT VALIDATION

    A buyer can flag any model for expert review. The correction is tracked on the model.

  • SOC 2 TYPE II

Faster sourcing. Lower cost. Same team.
