Joint effort for increasing efficiency in product development for the automotive and supplier industry.

FACTON, supplier of the leading enterprise product costing solution of the same name, and RLE INTERNATIONAL are now working together. RLE INTERNATIONAL Produktentwicklungsgesellschaft mbH is one of the world’s leading development service providers for the international automotive industry.

“Only those who have an eye on their costs at all times have a secure basis for weighing opportunities and risks and making decisions,” maintains Michael Manten, sales director for Business Services & Consulting at RLE INTERNATIONAL.

“The FACTON software solution enables us to guarantee a realistic cost simulation based on dependable data which are uniform throughout the company, all the way from development to introduction on the market.”

FACTON provides all cost-related information in a central database. The system-controlled calculation and evaluation logic enables companies to achieve a uniform understanding of their costs. This way, all of a company’s departments and locations conduct their calculations based on the same standardized process and methods. All costs can be determined, optimized, and traceably documented for the entire product life cycle. RLE INTERNATIONAL advises companies on the use of the FACTON EPC solution and supports them in tasks such as the introduction of process analyses and training courses.

“FACTON is more than just calculation software – in fact, the EPC approach stands for a rethinking of uniformity and transparency in cost management,” says Alexander M. Swoboda, managing director of FACTON GmbH. “With RLE INTERNATIONAL, we have gained a partner which uses its long-standing expertise to accompany and support companies in this change process.”
