It builds transparent, defensible should-costs from 2D drawings or physical part teardown data, using configurable cost models that match your manufacturing logic. The system is powered by xcPROC, a curated costdata library with city- and time-specific rates for materials, labour, machines, tooling and operations across major manufacturing regions. Users can run what-if scenarios on volumes, locations or process options and compare results to support sourcing and engineering decisions. xcPEP exposes APIs to PLM, ERP and analytics tools so part, BOM and routing data can flow in and should-cost outputs can flow back to your core systems. The platform is delivered as a secure, cloud-hosted SaaS solution with role-based access, automatic updates and enterprise-grade security. ## What is xcPEP used for?

Cost Lab Manager Automotive ### "Accurate should-costs with editable models and city data" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 10, 2025 Very happy with both the product and the team behind it. Whenever we raise a question or an issue, the response time is quick and there is a clear effort to understand the problem and resolve it. Over time we have seen several improvements in the models and data based on our feedback. Overall, xcPEP has helped us bring more structure to our should-costing process, and the working relationship with the team has been positive and collaborative. Pros For us the main plus point is value for money. We are able to handle most of our important commodities in one system itself, so earlier we were maintaining different Excel files and small tools for each commodity, now most of that work happens directly in xcPEP. Support from the xcPEP team has also been very good. They respond quickly on mail / calls, and they take our suggestions seriously a few changes we asked for in the models and datasets were implemented in the next releases. Once the basic flow is explained, the software is not difficult to use. The team did onsite training for our engineers, after that people were comfortable building and running their own models. The accuracy of the should-cost output is the main highlight for me. We can tune the model based on how detailed we want to go, and the numbers are close to what we see in supplier discussions, so it gives confidence while taking cost decisions. Cons 3D CAD models cannot be viewed directly inside the software. Real time editing of cost model doesn't update the costing. Switched from [aPriori](https://www.capterra.com/p/162255/aPriori/) We made the switch because it was not fitting our needs. The cost models were difficult to adapt to our own manufacturing logic, and the city-specific cost data often didn’t match the rates we were seeing in the market, so several estimates did not hold up well in supplier negotiations. We also felt the customer support and follow-up were not at the level we needed, so we moved to xcPEP for more flexible models, more reliable city-specific costdata and closer support from the product team.
