Stop negotiating quotes. Start negotiating costs.
Your suppliers know exactly what each part truly costs to make. We make sure you do too — then engineer your way to it. Paid only from the savings.
These supply chains negotiate from cost models, not quotes — the same discipline we bring to yours.
Half your cost-saving ideas never reach the P&L.
Three reasons buyers lose the savings they fight for. We built the company to fix all three.
Diagnose. Source. Implement.
Engineering Intelligence
Break the part down to its actual cost — by process, material, region. Eleven cost drivers, rebuilt from a clean sheet, benchmarked against your quote.
Supply Chain Transformation
Light up alternatives. RFQs go out to 4,500+ verified suppliers on every continent that builds — and real quotes come back.
Implementation & Value Capture
Drive savings into the P&L. Qualified, transitioned, audited — hit target in 3–6 months.
Whoever owns the IP, we can cost it.
Most cost-engineering firms only work where they have the drawings. We operate across every IP regime — from your fully-owned designs to a supplier’s black-box assembly we’ve never seen the spec for.
Across every IP regime — reverse-engineered should‑cost models, supplier-anonymous benchmarking, or fully open data rooms. The output is the same: a defensible cost number you can negotiate from.
Cheaper sourcing — even after tariffs.
A $0.26 Taiwan fastener with a 52% tariff. We found 23% savings anyway — and the same model runs for every other commodity in your BoM. Pick a part. Watch the math.

Procurement VPs who’ve seen the math.
“CSC’s open-book model showed us we were overpaying by 19% on transmission castings. The spreadsheet was hard to argue with. $4.2M saved in the first year.”
“They didn’t ask for a retainer. Didn’t even ask for a contract. They asked for our top 5 parts — and came back with a number that defunded my next supplier audit.”
“What we got back wasn’t a quote — it was an education on our own product. We rewrote three RFPs the next week.”
John Deere no longer waits for supplier quotes — they define the price.
