Our members buy everything from electric motors to steel components to wooden pallets. They monitor “should-cost” trends for what they buy using Should-Cost Models which can be created in minutes. Should-Cost Models work by combining commodities and other cost drivers (including supplier overheads and profits) into one finished good or service. ProPurchaser’s software then calculates changes, over time, to all cost drivers so they’re always up to date. In other words, no matter when you decide to refer to one of your should-cost models, you get to see what you should be paying now.
