We let users have their say:

KOCH-Pac-Systeme-Logo

„We are particularly impressed by the range of application this solution can be used for. classmate PLAN is a centerpiece in designing our manufacturing process more lightweight, flexible, and cost-effective.“

„Thanks to our decision for classmate PLAN, the effort for cost calculation is reduced to a minimum. At the same time the cost transparency at an early stage is significantly increased. Thus, we do not only reduce our costs, but also gain a lot of valuable time. simus systems supports us in agile development.“

„We used to have to estimate up to three weeks for the previous process of checking costs with several supplier requests without a real procurement case. Today, design engineers get there in minutes. It has also accelerated the quoting process for customers. But most importantly, we are now able to influence the cost as early as the design process.“
