The challenges
What it really hinges on here.
- 01
Every enquiry needs a fast, defensible price
- 02
Utilisation decides profitability week by week
- 03
Actual hours per order decide whether you quote it again
Enquiry, quote, utilisation
Margin starts with the quote.
In contract manufacturing, something new comes in every week: a drawing, a quantity, a requested date – often from customers who have never ordered before. POM Sales & CRM turns every enquiry into a record with assignment and a deadline; you record leads in the customer master with a duplicate check. Whoever does the numbers receives the costing request straight from the enquiry.
The price has to be ready fast and still hold. POM Costing calculates according to your scheme with formulas of your own: material, labour, machine rates and surcharges. Scenarios, target price and reverse costing show from which quantity a price holds; every figure has its derivation.
Utilisation decides whether a week makes money. On the planning board you see capacity and workload per week, and schedule risk shows as a traffic light. From December 2026 machine planning per operation and a feasible delivery date already in the quote arrive. An MES for machining is planned for later, with no date yet.
Actual hours decide whether you quote a part again. With POM Shop Floor Data time is booked at the terminal, post-calculation sets plan against actual, and POM Analytics shows delivery performance. From five feedback records POM suggests new target times – they are adopted only after confirmation.

From enquiry to repeat part
How the loop closes.
- 01
Enquiry and lead
The enquiry is assigned with a deadline, even for leads who have never ordered. The costing is requested straight from the enquiry.
- 02
Price with scales
The costing scheme calculates material, labour, machine and surcharges; quantity scales and reverse costing show which price holds.
- 03
Quote and order
The quote becomes the order confirmation, which creates the production orders. On the planning board you distribute the work.
- 04
Production with actual times
Time is booked against the operation at the terminal, scrap with a mandatory reason. The evaluation shows target against actual per order.
- 05
Post-calculation and target time
Post-calculation compares plan and actual. With enough feedback, POM suggests new target times for the next costing.
What POM brings to your industry
Enquiries captured with a deadline and passed on for costing, quotes built with schemes and scales, reality booked at the terminal, and post-calculation that closes the loop back into the next quote.
Quick answers
Questions from practice.
How do I get to a defensible price faster?
With a costing scheme that knows your formulas, instead of a spreadsheet only one person understands. POM Costing calculates material with purchase prices, packaging unit and minimum quantity, plus labour and machine. A missing cost rate is an error, not zero.
Can I store quantity scales?
Yes. POM Costing keeps quantity scales, spreads set-up time over the lot size and shows with reverse costing from which quantity a target price is reached. Collective costings per price list apply from a set date.
How do I see whether a repeat part pays off?
With post-calculation: it sets the planned times against the hours booked at the terminal and shows costing reliability in five criteria. The margin watch leads to a new costing version and prices “valid from”.
Is there an MES for machining?
Not yet. An MES for machining is planned for later, with no date yet. Today you capture times and quantities with POM Shop Floor Data and plan on the planning board; machine planning per operation arrives from December 2026.
Can we try POM before committing?
