Materials
Material master data with specifications, units and a standard unit cost, plus stock in, stock out and adjustments per facility.
Cost management
See the Cost Behind the Work.
Most labs know their prices. Fewer can explain their costs. Byinux turns materials, labor, machine time and overhead into an explicit costing model you can inspect, question and improve.
Cost dimensions
Four kinds of cost, each with its own source.
Each dimension has a clear owner and a clear way of turning raw figures into a cost per unit of work.
Labor
Labor sources hold a cost amount and basis (hour, day, week or month), normalized to an hourly standard using the facility working calendar.
Machines
Separate the standard machine resource a step requires from the physical machine assets you own and their effective-dated cost facts.
Expenses
Expense sources carry budgets for overhead; expense records capture what was actually spent.
Allocation rules and capacity
Spread machine, material and overhead costs with explicit allocation rules and capacity drivers rather than hidden percentages.
Save, review, then publish
Configured cost sources follow Save → Draft → Publish, so a change only affects runtime costs once someone publishes it.
Standard vs actual
Planned and actual, kept apart on purpose.
Mixing what work should cost with what it did cost hides the most useful signal: the difference.
Standard cost
What the work should cost
- Built only from published inputs: material standard unit costs, labor hourly standards, machine standards and overhead budgets.
- Overhead and machine costs are spread with explicit allocation rules and capacity drivers.
- A missing input is shown as a blocker—never silently treated as zero or replaced with another value.
Actual facts
What actually happened
- Actual labor costs, machine cost facts, expense records and inventory movements are recorded as facts.
- Facts are saved immediately and kept separate from the standard, so the two can be compared rather than blended.
- Each fact belongs to the resource it describes, so you can trace it back.
Change control
Cost changes go live only when you publish them.
Configured cost sources follow Save → Draft → Publish, so a half-finished edit never changes the numbers your team relies on.
- 01
Save
Edits to a cost source are stored as a draft. Nothing in runtime changes yet.
- 02
Review
Check the draft, including any recalculated standard such as a labor hourly cost.
- 03
Publish
Publishing is the only action that changes the standard cost used at runtime.
A note on expectations. Byinux makes your costing model explicit and traceable. It does not replace your accountant, and its results are only as good as the inputs you maintain. We recommend comparing results with your own accounting while you adopt it.

Manage Every Case
Structured case intake with tooth charts, prescriptions and files, followed by proposals that dentists can review and accept from a secure link.
Keep Production Moving
Define how each service is made: reusable process templates, a shared step library, shifts and skills, all linked to the offerings you sell.
Organize Your Operations
Facilities, working calendars, departments, members and permissions, plus a directory of the clinics and dentists you work with.
