COGS Calculation Software for Manufacturers
Stop recalculating cost of goods sold in a spreadsheet after the month closes. Nstock rolls COGS up from your BOMs and FIFO lot costs automatically, so margin is visible before you quote, not after you invoice.
How It Works
- 1
Build the BOM
Raw materials and intermediates roll up into a finished good’s bill of materials, each carrying its own FIFO cost.
- 2
Produce or quote
Running production or building a sales quote pulls live blended cost automatically — no manual recalculation.
- 3
Review COGS and margin
Finance and valuation reports reflect current costs, filterable by brand and warehouse.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Nstock calculate COGS automatically?
Nstock rolls cost of goods sold up from your bill of materials: each component’s actual FIFO lot cost feeds the finished-good cost, and that cost recalculates as new material lots come in at different prices — no manual spreadsheet recalculation required.
What is a blended unit cost?
When you’re quoting or costing more units than you currently have on hand, Nstock blends the FIFO cost of on-hand stock with the cost implied by your current BOM for the remainder, producing one honest per-unit cost instead of a single stale average.
Can I see margin before I send a quote?
Yes. Sales quotes show live COGS and margin per line item as your team enters quantities and sell prices, so pricing decisions happen with real cost visibility instead of after the fact.
Can I break down cost and margin by brand or warehouse?
Yes. Nstock’s inventory valuation report shows finished-goods value broken down by brand, and can be filtered to a single warehouse, so multi-brand or multi-location manufacturers can see where cost and value are concentrated.
