COFITER-COFIPAC: simplify the valorization of your metals

In the world of watchmaking, the management of precious materials is crucial. The COFITER and COFIPAC tables play a key role in assessing the prices of the alloys used.

What are the COFITER and COFIPAC tables?

The COFITER and COFIPAC tables are reference tools used in Switzerland to determine the price of precious metal alloys such as gold, palladium, platinum and silver. They are supplied by APIAH (Arch-watch industry employers’ association) to its members, and non-member companies can also access them by taking out an annual subscription.

Applied when fine gold is fully supplied by the manufacturer.

  • It takes into account the cost of immobilizing the precious material, an estimated non-recoverable loss, and part of the cost of refining and manufacturing the alloy.

Applied when fine gold is partially supplied by the customer.

  • It incorporates elements similar to COFITER, but this time adapted to the specificities of the situation.

Why are these tables important?

The COFITER and COFIPAC tables simplify relations between customers and suppliers by providing a standardized basis for calculating the price of precious alloys. These are the 3 main advantages:

  • Transparency: they enable a clear and precise assessment of costs, thus avoiding misunderstandings between parties.
  • Fairness: by standardizing calculations, they ensure that all industry players use the same references.
  • Optimal management: mastery of these tables is essential for efficient management of precious materials, reducing losses and optimizing costs.

Conclusion: COFITER-COFIPAC in 3 steps

How does it work in NEO-FUGU®?

You import the COFITER-COFIPAC data, then automatically associate the coefficients according to your alloys, positions, and colors directly in NEO-FUGU®.

From the table to invoicing

Valorization is no longer isolated in an external file: it accompanies workshop data.

What are the benefits for you?

Accuracy: correct rates are applied based on your defined parameters.
Time efficiency: reduced manual searches and data re-entry.
Integration: valuation is seamlessly embedded in your workshop workflow.

1. IMPORT
