What moves your costs

Material clauses with many indices

Supply contracts link part prices to steel, aluminium and polymer indices. Collecting each quotation separately costs time and clarity.

Electrification changes the basket

Lithium, nickel, cobalt, rare earths and electrical steel are gaining weight, and their prices are volatile.

Energy and logistics surcharges

Power, gas and container freight flow into part prices via surcharges and need to be checked.

How the package helps

1

Check price adjustment clauses

Agreed indices such as DC01 cold-rolled sheet, aluminium alloy or PA 6 at a glance, with Pro also as Excel export for settlement.

2

Prepare supplier talks

History and comparison charts show when raw material costs really rose or fell.

3

Plan budgets and targets

Forward prices and forecasts for metals, energy and polymers as the basis for annual budgets and target prices.
