Costyour true COGS, signed by the floor.
Because every dispense, step, hold and yield reading is captured at the kiosk, V5 can compute true COGS per batch — material, labour and overhead — and surface variance against the standard without a separate cost roll-up project.
What changes once Cost, COGS & variance is live.
Indicative ranges from V5 pilot deployments. Your numbers will land near these once the workflow is operator-led and e-signed at the step.
What changes the day you switch this on.
- Manual, paper-driven, and only audited after the fact.
- Operators jump between paper SOPs, scales and a back-office PC.
- Tribal knowledge in spreadsheets and shared drives.
- Errors caught at month-end — too late to fix the batch.
- Standard cost on every BOM line
- Labour from the kiosk, not the timesheet
- Overhead allocation
- Yield & material variance
What you actually get
Operator-led, e-signed, immutable. Engineered for regulated manufacturers — not retrofitted.
Standard cost on every BOM line
Maintain standard cost per material; revaluations are versioned and audit-trailed.
Labour from the kiosk, not the timesheet
Operator clock-on per WO step, effective-dated rates plus burden % roll up to true labour cost per batch.
Overhead allocation
Per-line, per-shift or per-hour overhead drivers — applied automatically to each WO.
Yield & material variance
Actual vs theoretical yield per SKU/line/operator; expensive lots flagged before month-end.
True COGS per batch
Material + labour + overhead totalled on the WO close-out — clickable straight back to the source eBMR.
Feeds your ERP, doesn't fight it
COGS and variance push back to your finance system — V5 stays the system of execution, ERP stays the system of record.
One operator action — a complete, signed record.
What it leaves behind
- True COGS per WO, not per month
- Yield variance dashboard by SKU/line/operator
- Cost click-through to the signed eBMR
- Pushes COGS/variance back to your ERP
What buyers ask before they switch on Cost.
