ALLOY SURCHARGES
calcIT enables you to calculate precisely and efficiently while keeping an eye on changing market conditions.
UNIT COST CALCULATION
The unit cost calculation in calcIT is based on SAP and ensures precise determination of all costs for individual products or quantities.
LIFE CYCLE COSTING
Business scenarios can be presented based on the calculation data as well as the planned sales figures and investments.
PROJECT CALCULATION
In calcIT, actual figures vs. planned figures can be tracked and changes in ongoing projects can be managed.
INTEGRATION
calcIT enables bidirectional data exchange with your ERP system for maximum efficient processes.
Alloy surcharges
Current information
INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT OF ALLOY SURCHARGES
With calcIT you have full control over your alloy surcharges. You can either enter them manually or have them updated automatically via our integrated web service. This way we ensure that you are always up to date with the latest raw material prices and that your calculations are accurate.
Accurate billing
TRANSPARENT CALCULATION BY WEIGHT AND FLEXIBLE PRICE BASIS
calcIT calculates the alloy surcharge based on the weight of your products. This ensures fair and accurate billing of material costs. In addition, we offer you the option of setting the value of the alloy surcharge on an annual or monthly basis, depending on your needs.
YOUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE THROUGH ACCURACY AND ADAPTABILITY
At abilis, we believe that accurate calculations and agile adaptability are critical to your success. calcIT gives you the tools to confidently adapt to market conditions and make smarter business decisions.

ACCURATE UNIT COST CALCULATION
Easy parameter definition
calcIT allows you to easily define calculation parameters. By using dummy materials with material costs and flat-rate labor, you can easily enter and adjust the desired parameters.
Flexible component creation
At abilis we believe in individual solutions. Therefore, our software allows you to freely create components according to your requirements. You can add new elements effortlessly and thus maximize the flexibility of your calculations.
Seamless integration of SAP data
calcIT is based on a seamless integration of materials, assemblies and operations that can be imported directly from your SAP system. This gives you access to current and accurate information to put your calculations on a solid foundation.
Efficient management of surcharges
With calcIT you have control over material and manufacturing overhead surcharges and tariffs. These can either be imported directly from SAP or maintained manually to ensure that your calculations are always up to date.
FLEXIBLE CALCULATIONS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
Components frequenty needed for calculations are stored in calcIT libraries. These include standard materials, workloads such as assembly, assemblies or quotation templates.
These components can be automatically imported into calcIT via third-party systems such as SAP or uploaded to calcIT via Excel import. Of course, you can also manually create any components in calcIT.
You can then use drag & drop to add any components or templates to your calculation.
PREDEFINED COMPONENTS
INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS
To calculate with individual components, you can add individual “dummy” materials, processes or assemblies.
You can also easily duplicate your standard components from the libraries and adjust values or parts lists for individual components you need to calculate your project.
Calculate with standardized components, individual content from past projects or even completely custom components as needed – with maximum flexibility and efficiency.
LIFE CYCLE COSTING
CALCULATION AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
In the automotive industry, quotation calculations are complex and multi-layered. Material costs, manufacturing expenses, investments, tool requirements, alloy surcharges – all of these factors must be considered over long project periods. Dynamic elements such as price adjustments and cost savings play a decisive role in cost and price determination. Even established products require continual project review, be it for re-evaluations or the implementation of change requests. With calcIT Automotive you get all the tools for reliable calculations and efficient quotation processes. Thanks to predefined functions, the project overview and ability to flexibly react to changes is made easy!
Seamless integration for maximum efficiency:
calcIT and your existing system landscape
Your new software solution should fit seamlessly into your existing system landscape. Isolated solutions rarely generate the desired added value – instead, they often result in additional manual effort for data transfer. This is exactly where calcIT comes in: Our software can be easily integrated into your existing IT infrastructure via interfaces. With calcIT, you achieve harmonious integration that increases the performance of your entire system landscape.
A close connection to your ERP system is particularly important in the automotive sector. Here, calcIT enables bidirectional data exchange that maximizes the efficiency of your processes. This includes:
Retrieval of material master data, parts lists and work plans
Retrieval of purchasing information records and tiered prices
Retrieval of surcharge and other rates
Creation of projects, WBS elements and activities
