C3 provides a very powerful estimating module for the print and packaging industry. With the help of your own estimating templates, the simultaneous calculation of any number of production variants and the product configurator, the process of estimating was never faster or clearer. Finding the most economical way to produce a certain product based on the customers requirements and creating the quotation will be a process that needs less individual industry knowledge, by transferring business rules and production constraints to the C3 system. Your own calculation formulas, individual properties of machines and customizable price relevant parameters give you the flexibility you need. C3 provides all the methods of estimating, like profit margin costing with all types of overhead cost or absorption costing. The costs themselves are based on the time a certain work order takes and the cost per hour of the resource.
Every estimate becomes even easier and faster with the C3 product configurator. You define a product according to the customer requirements and the product configurator creates a work order, a bill of material and all the target costs. Your individual business rules decide which additional work orders are needed or which machine is able to be used. A product configuration consists of easy to use rules for example ?If the width is more than 3200 mm, we produce it on the Vutek 5300. And if the width is more then 5300 mm we need additional work orders to connect lanes.?
