Quick TruCost was designed to enhance a company's ability for SPEED TO MARKET by giving them a tool for pre-production costing evaluation at the important design stage.

It is a unique total costing system that was developed using 'regression analysis' and 'algorithms'. It uses the common elements in a garment / product and multiplies them by a predetermined numerical factor to calculate total time to manufacture. Full product costings can be done in less than 10% of the time of current standard data systems with no loss of accuracy. The fully installed Quick TruCost system sells for under $ 10,000 and includes a 1-2 day installation.

The purchase of Quick TruCost is easily justified not only by 'Speed to Market' improvement, but also by the increased productivity in the 'costing' department, reassignment of staff, deskilling of staff or reduction of staff.

The simplicity of answering 8 - 10 questions about the product / style will give you the Pre-production estimate of the total manufacturing cost quickly and within 1-2 % of the final cost at the assumed factory efficiency.

Engineered TruCost, a companion system, is a new Labor Costing product created for the Sewn Products Manufacturing industry to produce 'operation by operation' details for Incentive Rates and Production Quotas. It is designed to give Sewn Products Manufacturers an affordable option to more expensive PMTS systems but still supply the discipline that allows companies to 'benchmark' their manufacturing against global standards and improve productivity and efficiency.
