Tset’s journey began with a clear mission: to address one of the most pressing challenges in the manufacturing industry — building reliable cost structures efficiently. Over time, Tset has evolved into a pioneering solution for holistic product cost and carbon optimization. In this article, we share how the company was founded, how its vision has developed, and what makes Tset stand out from other solutions in the market.
The Smarter Way to Manage Cost and Carbon
At its core, Tset is a business modeling solution tailored for the manufacturing industry. For the past seven years, we have focused on product cost management and have supported companies from the early design stages to implementation and production. By integrating additional factors such as carbon emissions, we provide a holistic view of a product’s lifecycle, enabling companies to optimize cost structures, test various scenarios, and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and sustainability.
From Concept to Vision: The Evolution of Tset
Sasan Hashemi, CEO and Co-founder of Tset, shares that Tset was founded with a clear purpose: to deliver faster, more reliable cost structures for the automotive industry. As products become increasingly complex and development cycles grow shorter, reliable cost insights are critical for effective decision-making.
Manufacturers today face pressing questions that require immediate answers:
-
What happens if material prices change?
-
What are the impacts of switching suppliers?
-
How does altering a product concept affect costs?
At Tset, we provide reliable, data-driven answers to these questions, empowering businesses to remain agile and competitive. By enabling informed decisions, we help companies achieve long-term success in a rapidly evolving market.
Over time, Tset has evolved in two significant ways. We have expanded the definition of cost to include sustainability, recognizing its growing importance for businesses worldwide. At the same time, we have moved beyond single-model creation to enable companies to manage all their cost models with consistency and precision. This approach ensures a single source of truth within their operations—an essential foundation for confident, data-backed decisions.
Looking ahead, we see profitability evolving into a broader, more impactful concept that naturally integrates carbon emissions. In the near future, manufacturers will define profitability not just by cost savings but by their ability to balance costs with sustainability goals. Our role at Tset is to help manufacturers achieve this balance seamlessly. With our solution, manufacturers can access aligned, synchronized data to make informed decisions.

Our clients consistently highlight this specialization as a key differentiator. With a deep understanding of their challenges, we don’t just deliver software; we engage as partners to identify what truly makes sense for their business.

-
Cloud technology for scalability and accessibility
