What this costs while it stays invisible.
- Quotes come from old price lists and gut feel. Some big contracts lose money on every unit.
- Loss-making clients hide inside total sales and eat your best machine time.
- Rework runs a batch twice, but the books show it once.
- A big buyer wants a discount and you have no per-unit cost to push back.
- Lamination or hand stitching goes into overhead, not the job that used it.
What changes when the floor can be trusted.
- Job cost built from real floor data: material issued, press hours, labour and vendor bills.
- Each part of an order is costed on its own, like book blocks vs premium covers.
- Labour cost comes from wage rates and recorded machine hours, not guesses.
- Scrap and rework are charged to the job that caused them.
- Job cost sits next to invoices and collections, so you see gross vs net.

Questions you should ask before buying any system.
How is Prodman different from estimating software?
Estimating gives a quote before you win the job. Prodman shows what it really cost: extra sheets, downtime, outside work. Compare the two and you see where you made or lost money.
Who can see job cost and margin data?
Only who you choose. Supervisors and operators cannot see wages, overhead or margins. That is for owners and your finance team.
Can the system handle changing raw material prices across batches?
Yes. Material is costed by FIFO or the actual batch rate from your goods receipts. A price rise shows up in job profit.
You should not need to spend your life walking the floor to discover the truth.
Bring us one problematic production order, one chronic bottleneck, or one metric nobody trusts. In thirty minutes, we will show you how Prodman restores order and calm, without asking your machine operators to become clerical typists.
