Pella needed competitive insight into window hardware cost-performance across leading platforms. Internal cost models lacked teardown-level resolution.
Conducted competitive product teardowns and benchmarking across leading window platforms. Identified design, manufacturing, and cost-performance advantages. Built cost models for roll forming and hardware sub-systems.
$3.2M saved (20–21%) on $16M of hardware spend. Pella's design and procurement teams now share a common cost-driver framework for ongoing product decisions.
