Life cycle costing

Know what each machine really costs to own and run — today and into the future. Samurai recalculates life cycle cost continuously based on actual performance, not backward-looking averages.

Why this matters

By the time a traditional cost report tells you a machine is losing money, you’ve already lost the money. Fleet owners need to see where costs are heading, not just where they’ve been.

How Samurai handles it

Labour, parts and component cost tracking rolls into a live cost-per-hour view. Separate component life management (engines, transmissions, undercarriages) forecasts upcoming rebuild spend. When actual performance shifts, the forecast updates automatically.
