Production Cost Calculation & Comparison
Production Cost Calculation & Comparison
Transparency on costs, time, and savings potential in formulations and manufacturing processes.
Production costs and process times
Comparison of multiple formulation and process scenarios
Visualization of cost structures and savings potential
MEGGLE and BASF have jointly further developed DirectCost and integrated it into ZoomLab® as the “Production Cost Calculation & Comparison” app.
By combining formulation expertise, industrial manufacturing experience, and a digital platform, the app creates greater transparency for cost-effective and realistic assessments of processes and formulations.
Extensive industrial manufacturing experience
In-depth formulation expertise
More than 40 years of experience with excipients
Integration into the ZoomLab® digital platform
Two strengths. One solution.
