Landoll Corp. has reported a 70% faster turnaround time on estimates thanks to the MTI Systems Costimator cost estimating software for parts suppliers.

Landoll designs, fabricates, finishes and markets a varied product line of light and heavy equipment in the transportation, material handling and agricultural industries. The company manufactures a diverse range of products, including earthmoving equipment and heavy equipment trailers in the farming industry to tactical vehicles for the US Air Force, Army and Navy. Landoll has been using Costimator since 2007.

The best thing about Costimator is that even when the end-user has minimal computer experience or limited manufacturing knowledge, he or she can use the program, said Landoll Manufacturing Engineering supervisor Alan Koch. Our cost estimators work in a time-sensitive and highly competitive manufacturing environment. We found that with Costimator, they could produce consistently accurate estimates, regardless of their manufacturing experience. The software was incredibly accessible in that sense.
