See Serve cost a product line

Bring one product line, its recipes, and a recent month of production. See how Serve rolls up cost, measures yield, and explains the variances.

Plan a session

Give finance, plant, and commercial teams one cost number they can trust.

Keep standard costs current

Recipe and packaging costs update when supplier prices, formulas, or labor rates change, not once a year.

Find the yield you are losing

Compare actual to standard yield on every run and break the gap into giveaway, scrap, and rework by line and shift.

See margin after trade spend

Connect cost to make with price, trade spend, and deductions to see what each SKU and customer actually earns.

Recipe and BOM costing

Roll up the true cost of every recipe.

Serve builds cost per unit from ingredient prices, packaging, labor, and overhead for each recipe and pack size. When a supplier invoice comes in at a new price, agents recalculate the affected SKUs and show the change.

Yield and waste

See where yield goes on every run.

Agents compare inputs and outputs for each production run against the standard, then split the gap into overfill, startup scrap, rework, and downtime by line and shift. Plant teams see which losses cost the most.

Cost variance

Explain every variance before month-end close.

Serve ties purchase price, usage, and labor variances to the purchase order or production run that caused them. Controllers get each variance with its source and owner instead of a single unexplained number.

Margin by SKU and customer

Price and promote with net margin in view.

Serve connects cost to make with list price, trade spend, and deductions for each SKU and customer. Sales and finance see which items and accounts earn money before the next price change or promotion.
