Cost to Serve

Cost-to-serve is quickly becoming one of the most closely watched calculations in business. Subsidizing costs from one customer to another can distort profit strategies and decisions. Not all customers are equal. Don't you get tired of selling to all of your customers at the same price when you know that some cost you significantly more to serve? Cost-to-serve is a key concern for companies delivering value-added services.

Acorn Systems enables companies to understand their cost-to-serve at multiple levels - from broad customer segments and product categories to specific customers or orders. This has allowed our customers to develop effective cost-plus pricing or menu-based pricing. With robust "what-if" capability, our customers are also able to understand cost-plus estimating and bidding.
