Built Over Years.
Proven Across Industries.
Cost engineering is not learned overnight. It is earned through thousands of teardowns, millions of datapoints, and years of sustained investment in proprietary technology.
The Engineering Foundation
Full-spectrum engineering intelligence - design, simulation, testing, teardown benchmarking - for automotive manufacturers. ASI Datalab (now xcPEP) existed as an internal tool; six years of deep fieldwork built the domain expertise that would later define the company.
The Strategic Pivot
All non-core engineering services discontinued. Six years of domain knowledge channeled into a single mission: building the definitive cost engineering platform.
EV Cost Engineering Dominance
Retained by 3 of the top 5 EV manufacturers globally. Expanded into home appliances and consumer electronics with no equivalent depth of specialization in the market.
Product-Led Transformation
xcPEP moved to the center of every client engagement. Proprietary technology, built on years of domain expertise, delivers more consistent and scalable cost intelligence than manual analysis alone.
xcPROC and Industrial Expansion
Launched xcPROC to address critical data gaps in raw material, machine, and labor cost inputs. A decade of cost engineering knowledge now supported by two proprietary platforms built entirely in-house.
Cost Labs Established
First two dedicated ASI Cost Labs - one at a leading automotive manufacturer, another at a major home appliance company. ASI engineers operating on-site within the client's own procurement architecture.
Platform-First Restructuring
Transformation into a platform-first cost engineering company complete. xcPEP, xcPROC, and embedded Cost Labs unified into a single delivery model - twelve years of sustained investment, one institution, no shortcuts.
