Launch of ShouldCost service

ShouldCost.net also provides answers for procurement agents, validation specialists and costing engineers and gives the end user a true ShouldCost from prototype to production.

"ShouldCost will assist in all aspects of manufacturing from small to large companies. One benefit to manufacturers is that ShouldCost will help with a temporary backlog of estimates, strengthen your negotiating position with vendors and ultimately gives you the ability to increase profit through a more effective use of your resources," said Michael Holland, ShouldCost CEO.

Micro Estimating Systems and ShouldCost have entered into a strategic business alliance. "This break from the traditional way of determining what a part should cost prior to committing to accepting a purchase order is a necessity in today's competitive marketplace," said Bernard Woods, MicroEstimating Systems CEO. "With ShouldCost manufacturers are now able to validate their vendor and internal pricing with confidence."
