the platform
that creates value
The first cloud solution that combines Benchmarking, Value Management and Cost Engineering. One platform for continuous value creation – from the initial idea to series production.
A foundation for value, cost and competitiveness
QTRIX combines Value Management, Benchmarking, Cost Engineering and much more in a flexible, scalable tool – and grows with your requirements and processes.
Value Management
Create value, not just track costs. Capture functions, analyze value contributions and optimize costs – all in one system. From the initial idea to realized savings, fully supported digitally.
Benchmarking
Learn from the best. Systematically compare competitor products, analyze bills of materials in detail and identify best-in-class solutions. From quick checks to full mechanical teardown analyses.
Cost Engineering
Calculate product costs directly from your bill of materials – using flexible methods from simple factors to bottom-up calculations. QTRIX connects technical structures and cost data in one system. Compare scenarios, define target costs and integrate external tools via API.
Perceived Quality
Manage Perceived Quality – from car clinics to series production. QTRIX digitalizes the entire PQ process: mobile product evaluations, automated issue tracking, target scores and AI-supported analyses – all within a global platform.
Start small. Think big.
Start with a clearly defined use case, connect data and processes centrally, and scale QTRIX flexibly into a company-wide solution.
Get started quickly
Start where the biggest leverage is.
Whether you want to digitalize your workshop process, implement benchmarking or perform costing – QTRIX allows you to start with a clearly defined use case. Quick to implement, immediately usable, without complex IT projects.
Connect centrally
One data foundation instead of isolated solutions.
From day one you work on a central platform. Data, processes and methods become standardized across locations – started locally, designed globally.
Scale flexibly
Grow as needed – functionally and organizationally.
Expand QTRIX step by step to additional teams, locations and use cases. The platform grows with your requirements – up to a company-wide solution for value, cost and sustainability.

Why companies choose QTRIX
Leading companies use QTRIX specifically for Benchmarking, Value Management or Cost Engineering – individually or combined on a shared platform.
We use QTRIX (internal name: Carat) to collaborate with our customers, providing them with access to our professional benchmarking data and expertise. QTRIX is therefore much more than just software for efficiently conducting benchmarking—it also supports us in marketing our services.
Furthermore, we see significant potential to use QTRIX in additional application areas in the future, which we are already in the process of developing.

At Adient, we use QTRIX Global for Value Management and Benchmarking. Our team in Europe uses the system continuously to capture ideas in both local and global workshops and to efficiently manage optimization measures.
QTRIX not only enables the easy capture of ideas, but also their tracking through to implementation. Savings are visualized in real time, transparently, and in any desired currency.
With QTRIX, we have a powerful software tool that enables us to work highly efficiently and standardize our processes globally.

The QTRIX database is a flexible solution that can be easily adapted to the needs of various use cases within an organization.
Thanks to the user-friendly software, we were able to create a perfectly tailored database for our needs, which can be expanded at any time depending on our objectives.
Through the internal implementation in benchmarking, we have been able to systematically capture, link, and make data available to selected colleagues for further processing.

What particularly impresses us about the QTRIX platform are the additional features that go beyond standard functionality. We make extensive use of the PowerPoint export to create complex reports directly from QTRIX. This allows us to save significant time and noticeably streamline our workflows. In addition, we use Calidat’s turntable to automatically generate professional 360° images. These can not only be stored in QTRIX, but also presented in an appealing way.

QTRIX by Calidat is the most advanced tool for my benchmarking activities. We are very pleased to be able to use QTRIX across FORVIA worldwide. The QTRIX platform enables the storage of many types of data (including images, short videos, and 3D models) and features a flexible data structure. The user interface is intuitive and easy to use—it’s a pleasure to work with!

Result: A clean, scalable system—delivered ready for use.
Enablement of your key users
Once the system is set up, we empower your team: Training for QTRIX administrators, Training for relevant user groups, Best practices for governance, workflows and data quality
Your benefit: Independent – but never alone.
Continuous partnership
Our support does not end with delivery. Dedicated contact persons, Ongoing technical and methodological support, Custom adjustments on request
Your benefit: QTRIX grows with your organization.
Strategic consulting
If desired, we go beyond the software. We support you in the digitalization of benchmarking, competitive analysis, value management and cost engineering – also in cooperation with specialized partner companies.
Calidat stands for sustainable implementation rather than simple software delivery. With QTRIX we create structure, transparency and real control capability – for the long term.
