WALKTHROUGH

Everything your team needs to execute value engineering projects

Opportunity identification

Find high-cost components and prioritize savings potential.

Workshop management

Run structured workshops with owners, agends and outcomes.

Supplier collaboration

Work directly with vendors and track follow-ups.

Savings tracking

Measure execution progress and realized impact.

Knowledge library

Reuse previous wins, benchmarks and supplier insights.

COMPARISON

Why spreadsheets fail

WHY TEAMS SWITCH TO AI-POWERED VALUE ENGINEERING

Traditional Value Engineering

Value Engineering with AI

Functional Analysis

Days or weeks spent drawing function trees and FAST diagrams manually

Functional Analysis

AI suggests functions and reuses function librries for making function trees and FAST diagramms

Idea Generation

Relies on team memory, subjective bias, and limited historical examples

Idea Generation

AI scans databases and previous projects to generate hundreds of validated improvement ideas

Cost down tracking, Reporting

Time consuming cost down tracking and manually making of reports, presentations, statistics

Reporting

Real time coost tracking, integrated task management, automated making of reports and presentations

Cost Analysis

Time-consuming data collection and manual spreadsheet calculations

Cost Analysis

Instant identification of cost drivers and saving opportunities

Knowledge Reuse

Knowledge often remains in presentations, preadsheets, or workshop notes

Knowledge Reuse

All project knowledge is stored, structured, and reusable

AI CENTRAL PLATFORM

A central platform as a basis for
Purchasers and Cost Engineers

For purchasers

30,000+ Qualified Suppliers Access a comprehensive supplier database covering all major material groups to identify the best sourcing opportunities.

Supplier-Ready Cost Reduction Concepts Transform cost-down ideas into supplier inquiries and connect improvement concepts directly with relevant suppliers.

Negotiation Intelligence Access target costs, cost drivers, savings opportunities, and supplier information in one place to support negotiations.

For Cost Engineers

Reference Cost Calculations Compare products against greenfield and best-practice cost models to identify value potential and cost gaps.

BOM-Driven Target Costing Attach target costs directly to the Bill of Material and develop structured cost-down scenarios.

Transparent Cost Tracking Track savings opportunities from initial calculations through final supplier quotations with full visibility.

USE CASES

Built for every value management scenario.

New product development

Apply value engineering in early phases where there is no BOM yet and requirements and functions must drive decisions.

Existing products & series

Start from a reference BOM, analyse costs, and choose the right cost-down path for mature products and volume business.

Supplier workshops

Prepare structured supplier workshops with purchasing-ready material, target costs, and transparent saving potentials.

Multiproject portfolio management

Use Value Cockpit to compare projects, track effect potential, and make priorities visible across teams.
