Stay ahead of the competition – fully digital benchmarking
The all-in-one platform for product benchmarking: teardown data, cost analysis, and competitive comparison seamlessly integrated.
Product benchmarking:
Systematically understand what makes competitors better
Product benchmarking enables companies to systematically compare their own products with competitors and identify improvement potential – from features and costs to individual components.
What is product benchmarking?
Product benchmarking is the systematic comparison of your own products and components with competitors or best-in-class references. The depth depends on the team: from general product catalog and feature data to prices, costs, and detailed teardown data at component level. The key question remains: Where does our product stand in the market – and where are the greatest opportunities for improvement?
Benchmarking answers questions such as:
- Where are competitors better – and why?
- Which cost, weight, or performance targets are realistically achievable?
- Where are untapped opportunities in the market?
The Challenge
The teardown is complete. The chaos begins.
Photos on shared drives, costs in Excel, materials in another file, comments via email. The knowledge exists – but no one can bring it together.
Each location works differently.
Teams in Germany, the US, and China collect benchmarking data using different structures. Comparisons are difficult. Insights from one market never reach the others.
Reports get archived.
Benchmarking insights are presented and then forgotten. Actions are not consistently tracked. The effort does not translate into product improvements.
The QTRIX solution
QTRIX – Benchmarking digitalized
- Products captured and compared in a structured way
- BOMs, costs, and materials integrated
- Insights directly translated into actions
- Knowledge globally available and reusable
Benchmarking is the starting point for what follows:
- Explore Value Management – turn insights into functional optimization
- Explore Cost Engineering – derive competitive cost targets

Why QTRIX?
What makes QTRIX the best benchmarking platform?
QTRIX digitalizes the entire benchmarking process – from teardown data capture to actionable insights. All data, photos, and findings are unified in one platform, enabling faster comparisons and better decisions.
The decisive difference is
Without QTRIX
- Teardown photos on shared drives, data in Excel
- Insights do not reach engineering teams
- Outdated benchmarks define cost targets
- Each department works with different data
- Knowledge is lost
With QTRIX
- All in one system – structured and instantly comparable
- Insights directly linked to value engineering actions
- Benchmark data defines target costs
- One platform across all teams and locations
- Knowledge continuously grows
"QTRIX is the first platform to combine benchmarking, value management, and cost engineering in one system on a shared data foundation."
