xcPROC Cost Data
Intelligence.
City-specific and time-specific manufacturing data for accurate should cost analysis. Replace generic databases with verified, granular costdata from xcPROC.
Our War on Generic Data
We build and maintain our own centralized data platform - xcPROC - to support cost estimation and supplier evaluation. Instead of relying on third-party generic sources, we create structured datasets in-house, tailored to reflect actual manufacturing conditions.
xcPROC - The Solution
Verified & Structured
- We build and maintain our own centralized data platform to support cost estimation and supplier evaluation.
- We create structured datasets in-house, tailored to reflect actual manufacturing conditions.
- When existing data doesn't cover a need, a new dataset is developed from scratch.
The "Generic Database"
Assumptions & Averages
- Relies on assumptions and broad averages that ignore how parts are actually made.
- Simplifies cost inputs to fit fixed templates, leading to estimates that fail to match real conditions.
- When the input data lacks specificity, should cost analysis becomes guesswork.
Explore the xcPROC Databases
xcPROC houses a growing set of structured databases. Click any database to see a live preview of the data our research team provides.
Machine Database
Contains structured cost parameters for manufacturing equipment. Each entry includes brand, operation type, capital/rental costs, and utility consumption, enabling precise calculation of the machine hour rate (MHR).
Raw Material Database
Contains structured data for a wide range of materials. Each entry includes material grade, sub-grade, initial shape, density, and cost per unit, allowing models to reflect real-world sourcing conditions.
Wage & Salary Database
Provides region-wise labor hour rates essential for calculating accurate manufacturing costs. Includes detailed breakdowns for skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled labor, covering minimum wages, perks, and total hourly rates.
Tools Database
Captures tool-level information critical for operations. Each entry includes the tool's specifications, supplier, material, and category - along with cost and usage life data to factor depreciation into cost models.
Currencies Database
Enables cost calculations to be standardized across global sourcing scenarios. Maintains real-time and historical exchange rates between INR and over 150 international currencies.
Operations Database
Stores cost and rate data for standard manufacturing processes. Each operation is linked to relevant parameters like process type and cost unit, enabling seamless integration with routing logic.
Supplier Database
Provides structured profiles for each manufacturer, combining technical capability and business information. Each profile includes plant locations, certifications, product catalogs, and financial metrics.
How xcPROC Powers xcPEP
xcPROC serves as the data backbone for xcPEP. This integration ensures that estimates reflect real production parameters, not generic assumptions.
BOM & Inputs In
BOM data, drawing parameters, and core part inputs (volume, location, material type) are captured in xcPEP and sent to the Cost Model engine.
Data Enrichment
xcPROC instantly injects all real-world manufacturing data: RM Rates, MHR, Labor Wages, Tooling Costs, and Currency Rates based on the specified geography.
Should Cost Output
A structured, transparent Should Cost is generated. This can then be used to create "What-If" scenarios by drawing new regional data from xcPROC.
Customer-Centric Data Engineering
We don't rely on generic third-party sources. Our dedicated research team collects, curates, and validates every data point from scratch - tailored to your manufacturing reality.
Common Questions
Who collects and maintains the data inside xcPROC?
All data in xcPROC is built and maintained by our dedicated data research team. It draws on years of cost-engineering experience, industry-specific project work, and continuous research to ensure high accuracy and real-world applicability.
Do you sell xcPROC as a standalone product?
No. xcPROC is our secure, internal database engine and is not sold or licensed separately. The specific cost datasets you need are securely hosted in xcPROC and then made available to your team exclusively within your xcPEP instance.
Can you build custom databases for us?
Yes. We regularly develop fully customized datasets tailored to a client's specific parts, processes, and geographies. These datasets are maintained exclusively for your organization, updated as needed, and securely hosted in your private xcPROC workspace.
How frequently is the data updated?
xcPROC is continuously updated. Core datasets like raw materials, currency, and wages are regularly refreshed to reflect market changes. For client-specific databases, updates are made as per project requirements and direct inputs from the client.
How is xcPROC different from generic cost databases?
Generic cost-data platforms lean on industry-average tables and blanket multipliers that ignore local cost drivers. xcPROC replaces those assumptions with granular, part-level data tied to real manufacturing context-tooling, raw materials, machine hour rate, labor hour rate - all curated for a specific city, not just a region.
