Craftybase

Web-based

Owner

The ease of use in setup and management made it a great choice and a huge improvement over traditional spreadsheet management.

CEO, Founder

I find Craftybase SUPER easy to use. I make products that require multiple levels of inventory tracking, and had been looking for software to help me accomplish this for months.

Owner & Creator

I also like the tips and helps. It really makes you feel like there want you to succeed.

Owner / Artist

Having a digital solution that’s perfectly designed and priced for a small business like mine is greatly appreciated.

I love the ability to build recipes for a product before I actually make it to see where I would need to price it to be profitable.

I also love all of my orders importing in automatically. I also love that I can access all my information from anywhere via the internet.

Owner/Artisan Soap Maker

I am also thankful that it shows my costs in making each product along with showing recommended retail & wholesale pricing, as well as what my profits are.

It pulls items out of my inventory and has been a life/marriage saver at tax time (I'm a sole proprietorship) and it's ease of use for tallying annual reports is fabulous.

It integrates with Etsy it makes it seamless and super easy to manage my business.

Co-Owner

Some things are stuck the way they are and dont apply to what Im doing or if things change in the way we create products it is hard to apply the changes.

milliner

I can search through all my materials by color or fiber content or size or date purchased, etc. It's a lifesaver for me to be able to see my materials with photos and all the data I need.

Some of the bugs are frustrating. For example, some of the Etsy fees do not auto associate with sales/products.

Good value, good customer service, gets the job done.

self employed

The sequencing of adding in a project, then adding in manufactures and linking them all together was a bit confusing to learn.

Business Owner

It does not automatically update stock. Whicb can be a little frustrating.

I am so glad I found this. It has made keeping tracking of my materials and inventory a breeze.

Customer service is great - They are always there to answer my questions and help me out if I'm stuck on something.

Integrates with my Shopify store. Powerful even at lower subscription level.

Google Sheets

Overall we are happy with the program. It has helped us in so many ways!

Craftybase is very helpful!

Review for Craftybase

Craftybase for Candle Company

Good producr

I wish I had Craftybase when I started making in 2011 because it's daunting trying to start from scratch with so many products that contain components I make as well as common materials. Adding new components with new products would be more manageable.

All my items include components I manufacture myself (laser cutting. painting) so having to enter "recipes" for all components individually is tedious. For example, I can copy a recipe for an ornament (three different components, ribbon, tag) but when I create components, I can't copy the recipe from a similar component (cardboard shape, primer paint, color paint, topcoat) and this gets really slow with all the colors I have.

Recently a new client ordered $800 of obsolete items I hadn't entered into Craftybase. It took 10 hours to enter component recipes for 2 products x 4 colorways, some of which had common components and many had common materials. I assumed I'd be able to generate a pick list to total the common components & materials. Nope! Back to the spreadsheet to group common components... but I didn't try to automate the paint required, so I wasted a lot of time going to the hardware store for more primer. Probably not making minimum wage on this order.

Affordable inventory management for makers

They are responsive, fix problems when they arise, they are excellent at walking you through what it is you need to do to achieve your task.  It's been a life saver for me since I still have a day job and takes some of the nitty gritty record keeping off my hands through automations.

Lifesaving (and marriage saving)!

Craftybase has been vital for transforming my hobby to a business. I would recommend it for anyone who would like to get a better overview of their inventory and sales (and have already referred several of my friends). It can require a bit of manual input/workaround at times to get it to work the way you want, and I hope they'll keep adding functionalities in the future.

Essential Software for Crafting and Inventory Management

Overall, Craftybase is the best software for my business. There is no other comparable program to track manufacturing of handmade goods in the way this software does. Is it perfect?  No. But they are always making improvements based on user suggestions so I think it's only a matter of time until it does everything that I need it to. And the price? Totally reasonable for what it does. 

The only usable software for makers

The customer service has been exceptional from the very start of this service and has not waned as they have gotten bigger. They always email me back within a few days if not the next day with a great answer that solves my issue or they tell me when my issue will be solved or put me on an email list for updates about the feature I request.

Awesome Software

Craftybase is geared toward small craft businesses, but you aren't likely to outgrow it overnight. And the customer service is some of the best I've ever experienced, so if you run into issues or limitations, they will work with you towards a fix.

The dashboard gives a snapshot of orders, expenses, stock levels, and profitability. And, a series of tabs lets you navigate to specific sections intuitively to input new activity or access info. It is a cloud-based, so it’s great those who need to access inventory information away from home base, or those who find that alternatives don't work on their favorite device.

While some user may miss accounting and formulating features, the granular sales and inventory tracking alone make Craftybase worth the price.

Craftybase is a good fit for soap and cosmetic micro biz owners.

Currently able to describe our costs in terms of US Dollars per gram, and able to average our inventory into a proper Schedule C tax form.  Their price guidance feature also enables us to make our business more sustainable. 

Using Craftybase to Improve Manufacturing and Track Costs

Helps me organize my hundreds and hundreds of styles/types/colors of materials.

Integrates nicely with multiple sales platforms.

So powerful! It's worth the money.

Overall, I like it, and I appreciate that they keep adding features. The inventory system is really necessary for someone like me, and there are very few programs at this price point that will do it.

Good, and hoping it will become great

If you have a business that is already operational, it may take time to get up and running in the software. But Craftybase is by far the best solution for managing my inventory.

A must have for handmade business

Overall I have found Craftybase to be useful and I will continue to use this software. If my business were structured a bit different, with less products and a condensed material base I would say this software is perfect. 

Great Software for most craft businesses

Very good.  I would recommend it to friends.

Great Service!  Very quick response time

i am sort of solving inventory issues, but there could certainly be a lot more automated features to take a lot of time off the process.  if it could automatically update inventory in e-commerce systems and if it could send automatic emails to me when a product gets low, that would be hugely beneficial.  

mostly good, but needs features.

Couldn't work without it.

CB is fairly easy to navigate and learn. Great customer support via email or real-time chat. I was able to run tax reports easily and keep track of inventory. 

Great inventory program for small handmade bus

Overall I'm extremely happy with this platform, makes keeping track of orders and products so easy

Life saving platform

Overrall, I recommend Craftybase. They make it possible to download all the data that has been inputted and see overall projections and uses that accorded. Also, it is helpful to be able to notify us when we are running out of materials and/or it is easy to see where mistakes are, so they can be fixed. The interface is fantastic from a quick glance. Just a few too many steps to input things individually.
