# Connecting Design and Costs

## Achieving cost transparency and efficiency through seamless PLM–EPC integration

13/11/2025

### Explore the Transformative Benefits of Integrating PLM and EPC

In product development, up to 80% of total costs are determined before production even begins. Yet, many companies still struggle with fragmented data, manual cost tracking, and late cost transparency.

Our white paper reveals how integrating Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Product Costing (EPC) creates a seamless flow of information between engineering, costing, and management — enabling faster, data-driven, and more profitable decisions from day one.

Key Takeaways

- Achieve early cost control by synchronizing data automatically between PLM and EPC systems.
- Eliminate manual effort and data silos with one unified source of truth across all departments.
- Strengthen cross-functional collaboration  between engineering, costing, and management teams.
- Make informed design-to-cost decisions that improve profitability from the earliest stages.
- Accelerate time-to-market  with integrated, real-time workflows and transparent cost data.

Target Audience

This white paper is designed for engineering leaders, cost engineers, and decision-makers in manufacturing who aim to align technical innovation with economic performance and strengthen cost transparency across the entire product lifecycle.
