Cost Calculation Review

BERATER did a brilliant job calculating the cost of each of our products. It turned out that we were only including 60% of the real costs in the price! After adjusting prices based on their data, the issue with cash flow gaps disappeared.

Oleg Mizerny

Basic Price List Creation Review

The BERATER team went beyond redesign, implementing a strategic regrouping. They bundled services, highlighted key offers, and added concise benefit descriptions. Our price list is now our strongest business card.

Victoria Ovodova

Product Costing Review

I thought I knew the cost of my products, but BERATER consultants opened my eyes. It turned out that I had not taken into account a lot of hidden costs at all. For example, we did not take into account marketing costs. So. We got not just numbers, but a clear picture of which products we actually sell at a loss, and which are real «players» of growth.

Nadiya Kots

Price List Development Review

The new price list takes into account profitability, competitive advantages and real needs of customers. Now managers are not shy about showing it, but on the contrary, they use it as the main argument. And most importantly, everyone in the company now understands a single pricing policy.

Viktor Boyko

SQM Rate of Return Assessment

We perceived our floor space as efficient until BERATER demonstrated a critical misalignment: 80% of our footprint was generating only 30% of the profit. Through reconfiguration and optimization, we inverted these metrics - drastically reducing overhead while maximizing net revenue.

Serhiy Lyashch

SQM Profit Ratio Analysis Review

The analysis clearly justified that our current location's efficiency was suboptimal. Instead of investing in a risky new project, we focused on optimizing the existing store, which yielded a 40% increase in profit. This proved to be one of our best strategic decisions.

FAQ

Why is accurate cost calculation so important for my business?

Accurate cost calculation is the foundation of profitability. Without it, you risk operating at a loss by selling products below their actual cost. It allows you to correctly structure your assortment, identify the most profitable items, avoid cash gaps, and ensure sustainable financial growth for your company.

What is the most common mistake when calculating costs independently?

The most common and critical mistake is the incorrect accounting of all expenses. Many businesses only consider direct material costs, ignoring the inclusion of other indirect expenses in the cost of goods sold, which leads to a significant distortion of the real financial picture.

How does your approach to creating a price list differ from a simple table of prices?

We view the price list not as an ordinary table, but as a strategic sales tool the result of collaborative work between the finance, marketing, and sales departments. Our goal is to create a clear, visually appealing document that not only informs about prices but also emphasizes the value proposition for the client, promoting a faster purchasing decision.

How can the structure of a price list affect conversion rates?

A skillfully structured price list directs the client's attention to the most advantageous and profitable offers for you. We avoid information overload, logically group products/services for the client, and use accentuating elements. This significantly simplifies navigation, reduces the time spent searching for the right product, and increases the likelihood of purchase.

Determining the SQM rate of return - what exactly does this indicator show and why calculate it?

The profit rate per square meter (SQM rate of return) shows how much profit each square meter of your retail or production space generates. It provides an accurate assessment of space utilization efficiency, helping you understand which zones or products yield the highest revenue and which are ineffective. This is a key tool for making decisions regarding space and product assortment optimization.

What data is required to calculate the SQM profit rate?

The calculation is based on a comprehensive set of financial data. We need information on the unit cost of the product, selling prices, sales volumes, gross income, operating expenses, and net profit. This allows us not only to calculate the profit rate itself but also to determine the break-even point for your business.
