The challenge

Pricing by gut feeling

Spreadsheets with formulas only one person understands, hourly rates that haven't been updated since the last machine purchase, and quotes that actually sell at a loss. Without real cost rates, every quote is a guess.

A canvas instead of cells

Drag format, paper, printing and finishing onto a canvas and watch price and contribution margin update live. Anyone can follow the logic — even a year from now.

  • Visual costing canvas with drag-and-drop
  • Live price and contribution margin as you build
  • Own price and cost price per line — two-rate model
  • Physical cutting model: cutting time derived from stack height and paper thickness

Your machine park as the price basis

Register machines with hourly rates, click rates and capabilities. Build production routes as machine chains, and let the calculation pick the right path.

  • Machine registry with hourly and click rates
  • Production routes: chains of machines and operations
  • Margin floor, contribution targets, rounding and electricity price as base settings
  • Energy overview: see what power costs inside the calculation

From calculation to quote

Save calculations to the archive, reuse them as templates, and send shareable links where the customer sees the price — not your cost rates.

  • Calculation archive with reuse and templates
  • Shareable calculation links for customers
  • Product, booklet and classic calculators for everyday quick jobs

Frequently asked questions

Why is Calc Studio an add-on module?
The module is built for print shops with in-house production and their own machine park. If you mainly sell catalog products, the webshop's standard calculation does fine without it.
Can we migrate our existing Excel calculations?
Yes — in practice you rebuild them once on the canvas, and they become documented and maintainable at the same time. CSV import of price lists is built in.
Does the calculation use real cost rates?
Yes. Hourly rates, click rates, paper prices from the media stock and power consumption all feed in, so the contribution margin is real — not an estimate.
