Stocksmith is built for businesses that make what they sell—the product brand, small-batch manufacturer, or growing operation ready to trade spreadsheet chaos for real control over every material, batch, and order. Who is Stocksmith for? Stocksmith is made for small-batch product businesses and manufacturers that have outgrown spreadsheets and generic inventory tools—but don't need the cost or complexity of enterprise MRP. You'll feel right at home running a business in food and beverage, cosmetics and skincare, supplements and wellness, home and personal care, or any DTC and wholesale brand producing in batches. If you're managing bills of materials, juggling multiple sales channels, and trying to pin down your true cost per unit, this is for you. What can you do with Stocksmith? - Track every raw material, component, and finished product in one place, with live on-hand, committed, and available stock - Build multi-level bills of materials, then manufacture a batch and watch the right materials deduct automatically—no manual counting - See your true cost of goods (materials, labor, and overhead) and the real margin on every product and every order - Sync orders from Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Faire, and more—and push updated stock back to your channels so you never oversell - Track suppliers, purchase orders, and reorder points so production never stalls waiting on a missing material - Record every batch with full lot traceability, ready for audits, recalls, and compliance - Generate COGS, profitability, inventory, and tax reports from the data you already capture Why product businesses choose Stocksmith Most inventory tools treat your stock as things to count. Stocksmith treats it as materials to transform—the difference between "I sell things" and "I manufacture things." You get accurate inventory without the manual work, costs you can actually trust, and repeatable processes your team can follow without you in every decision. The result: your operations under control, margins you understand, and a business you run on real data instead of memory.

I love the manual and prompts for inventory. I tried other programs that cost monthly and this is easier and overall cost is scalable. > > **Cons**: Set up was from the beginning. My spreadsheets and other programs didn't translate well. If I use scraps or left overs there is no tracking. > > I finally have a program that I don't dread doing my paperwork and helps at tax time with the reports ----- ### "A dream come true for our business" — 5.0/5 > **Suzanne** | *8 September 2025* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been searching for ways to organise my business. We make soap and skin care products, so I have many manufacturing recipes, suppliers, and costs to account for. Craftybase was a dream come true. I had about 50 scraps of paper with notes and was manually calculating my cogs at the base of my recipes. Now, everything is in Craftybase and when I manufacture a product, it updates my inventory as well. > > **Cons**: I am learning the interface between Shopify and Craftybase. I am hoping I can learn how to have Craftybase update my inventory in Shopify when I manufacture a new product. It maybe I haven't found it yet. I've only been working in Craftybase a week, but already the improvement to my business is immeasurable. > > I am so please with the customer service, the help bot, and the interface of the app. The business of manufacturing of products is new to me the past two years. Prior to that the businesses I have run have all been service based. To have a program like Craftybase allows me to capture all of the data I need for our certifications and government compliance in Australia. Plus, all of the data for our accountant at tax time. I am better able to run the business knowing my profit per product made and love that it allows me to add in my cost of time. ----- ### "A must-have for handmade businesses\!" — 5.0/5 > **Samantha** | *30 June 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It still is invaluable for keeping track of my materials, products, orders, and formulas, and basic financial reports. If you have a handmade business and need to keep track of a million moving parts, you need Craftybase\! > > **Cons**: Cost has gone up quite a bit and subscription level is based on how many items you sell, but I really do think the value it brings to my business justifies the expense. I support the \[sensitive content hidden\] doing whatever they need to keep the site afloat, and they do seem to be actively improving the functionality of the software to justify the added expense. > > It integrates seamlessly with Etsy, the platform I sell on. I use it every single day and could not function without it. ----- ### "Love Craftybase\!" — 5.0/5 > **Leslie** | *4 June 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Perfect for small businesses. The tutorials and help pages are great and the help team is exactly what they should be - helpful\! Emails are returned within a timely manner and they are very courteous. The program itself is easy enough to understand once you've gone through the help pages and you can go back and review at any time. The tier pricing is a good value for where you are in your specific business. I'm a big fan\! > > **Cons**: I didn't like that you could not change the photo in products/materials/etc., but they upgraded that feature so now you can\! > > I have had a wonderful experience using Craftybase and will continue using it for my small businesses. ----- ### "Craftybase saves me lots of time to manage my jewelry business" — 5.0/5 > **Maria Luisa** | *1 August 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like the most about Craftybase are three things: their staff and costumer service, their friendly environment, and how everything is connected in the design of their platform. I had found answers to all of my questions along the way and whenever I needed to resolve bugs and issues their staff where very happy and quickly to help\! > > **Cons**: The only thing I like least about Craftybase is that their basic subscription had less and less basic features with the time. > > I had been using Craftybase for more than 8 years. It was very easy to learn in the beginning and to make the transition from excel to their platform. Using Craftybase is really worth the money paid, it has saved me a lot of time to managing my inventory, generating quotes for custom products, and reordering materials for big orders. So I can invest more time in the creative part of my business thanks to Craftybase\!. I know my info is secure with Craftybase and that I’m in good hands. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/89791/craftybase?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/89791/craftybase) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
