Cost Estimator Monthly Fleet BudgetsMaintenance Program MetricsMonthy Labor & Fuel Forecasts

 

Ironworks Cost Estimator (ICE) is an advanced machine employment cost estimating system designed to deliver unprecedented accuracy in cost estimation, resource forecasting, and charge rate optimization. It is fully integrated with the Machine Catalog, making make-model-year data input nearly effortless.

  • Comprehensive Data Management: ICE stores individual machine properties, custody plans, and cost factor values, making it easy to play “what-if” games with fleet composition, overhauls, and renting-owning-leasing strategies.
  • Efficient Data Handling: Users can easily import machine-specific data from internal sources and supplement it with make-model-year properties from the Ironworks Machine Catalog.
  • Expert Tools: ICE includes tools that automate data input, estimate audits, estimate calculation updates, data visualization, and cost factor adjustments, saving time and enhancing estimate accuracy.
  • Visualizations: ICE charts all cost estimate results, making it easy to assess monthly budgets, utilization, mechanic labor hours, and fuel consumption.

Peerless Data

Ironworks delivers accurate equipment cost data by combining standardization, real-world input, and rigorous validation:

Standardized Framework – Every estimate uses the same cost breakdown and factor buckets, ensuring apples-to-apples comparisons across machines and projects.

Real-World Data – Cost-factor values entered by estimators are anonymized, uploaded, and aggregated to build a global knowledge base.

Statistical Feedback – For each make-model-year, we return max, mean, median, mode, and min values — giving you peer-anchored benchmarks while you work.

Robust Outlier Handling – Inputs more than two standard deviations from the average are excluded, so you see the true signal, not the noise.

Fresh, Secure, Anonymous – Data is continually updated and fully anonymized before leaving the estimator’s desktop, ensuring both timeliness and confidentiality.

The result: You gain confidence in every estimate, backed by the collective expertise of estimators across the industry.
