Cost It Right is a manufacturing decision intelligence platform for cost estimation, procurement, RFQs, and vendor management, built specifically for automotive OEMs and their Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers. It replaces spreadsheet-based costing with a centralized system that standardizes cost cards, automates RFQ distribution, tracks raw material price movements, and gives finance, procurement, and engineering teams a single source of truth for every costing decision. It is developed by Softude, a CMMI DEV ML5 appraised, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001 certified software company based in Indore, India.
Cost It Right reduces manufacturing costs by eliminating the cost leaks and inefficiencies that come from manual, spreadsheet-driven costing. It gives cost engineering teams real-time visibility into raw material rates, labor, machine hours, and overheads so estimates reflect current market conditions rather than outdated assumptions. Built-in simulation tools model the impact of a raw material price change or process change all the way to finished goods cost before anyone commits to a number, so pricing decisions are made on accurate data instead of guesswork. Clients using the platform have documented over $30 million in combined savings, with results like Havells saving $3.6 million per year and Uno Minda cutting 7,000 man-hours of manual costing work annually.
Yes. Tier 1 suppliers get a dedicated vendor RFQ portal where they receive a secure link, submit costing responses directly against BOM, tooling, or raw material RFQs, and track their quote status without back-and-forth emails or spreadsheets. On the OEM or Tier 1 side issuing the RFQ, this structure has driven a 40% faster RFQ-to-quote turnaround. Royal Enfield's experience illustrates the scale of the shift: work that once took 1,920 man-hours is now completed in about 15 minutes.
Yes, Cost It Right integrates with ERP, PLM, and CAD systems to keep costing data synchronized with the rest of a manufacturer's operations. Bills of materials can be auto-fetched from ERP or PLM systems rather than re-entered manually, and approved cost data flows back automatically without duplicate work. For organizations with strict data security requirements, an on-premise deployment option is also available alongside standard integrations.
Yes. Cost It Right is built and developed in India by Softude, headquartered in Indore, and it is used by major Indian and global manufacturers including Uno Minda, Havells, Royal Enfield, TVS, and Hero, as well as international clients such as Freudenberg Sealing Technologies in Germany. The platform is CMMI DEV ML5 appraised and ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001 certified, reflecting enterprise-grade development and information security standards.
Yes, Cost It Right is designed to work across the full OEM-to-supplier chain, not just one side of it. OEMs use it to run RFQs, manage vendor onboarding, and control costs across plants, while Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers use the same platform to respond to RFQs, manage their own costing, and track quotation history with their customers. This shared structure is what gives both sides a consistent, auditable view of cost data instead of each party working from separate, disconnected spreadsheets.
Manufacturers using Cost It Right have collectively saved over $30 million, with individual results including Havells saving $3.6 million annually and Uno Minda recovering 7,000 man-hours of manual costing work each year. Beyond direct savings, clients report a 70% reduction in costing cycle time and 50% faster cost revision and simulation cycles, which compounds into faster decision-making across procurement and sales. Clients also report 100% ROI within the first year of implementation.
Yes, through its raw material external indexation module, Cost It Right connects to commodity price index providers to track raw material rate fluctuations in real time and automatically flag their downstream cost impact. Instead of manually re-checking commodity prices and re-running cost sheets by hand, teams can see the effect of a raw material price swing on finished goods cost immediately, with full history of price fluctuations retained for audit and negotiation purposes.
