A spreadsheet can't show you what your production week actually looks like. Craftybase can. See every scheduled production run on one calendar, drag jobs between days to replan in seconds, and know exactly what to make next, without losing track of materials, orders, or who's making what.
Trusted by makers worldwide
Production scheduling built for product businesses
No bloated enterprise features. No warehouse modules you'll never open. Just the production planning a small manufacturer actually needs to stay on top of orders, without paying for features you'll never grow into.
Your product isn't one ingredient. It's raw materials, sub-components, and a recipe to bring them together. Build bills of materials with as many levels as you need, and Craftybase costs every run for you.
Connect Shopify, Amazon, Faire and more, and orders land on their own. Craftybase tells you what to make, deducts materials as you produce, and keeps stock in sync across every channel.
Track lot numbers from supplier to customer. If something goes wrong, pull a recall report in seconds, not hours digging through records.

Got 80 orders to fill, three wholesale deadlines, and a production run that can't slip? See it all on one calendar, in a week or month view. Drag a manufacture to another day and the plan updates instantly. Assign runs to whoever's making them, so your team knows what they're on without a morning huddle. No rebuilding the schedule in your head every time something changes.
No more counting shelves or finding out you're short on a key material the morning a run is due. Craftybase shows you exactly what's in stock (raw materials, components and finished products), updated automatically as you manufacture and sell. When something drops below your reorder point, you'll know before it holds up an order.
Need to know which lot of an ingredient went into which production run? Or trace a finished batch back to the supplier who shipped the raw material? Craftybase tracks lot numbers, expiry dates and supplier details from purchase to sale. If a retailer or regulator ever asks, or you need to pull a product, you'll have the answers in seconds, not hours. Essential if you make food, cosmetics or supplements.
Your best seller by volume might be your worst by margin once you factor in materials, labor and overhead. Craftybase recalculates your true cost per unit and COGS automatically as supplier prices move, so you can spot the winners, fix the losers, and hold your margins as you scale.
Built to Scale With You
Whether you're scheduling 10 production runs a week or 1,000, Craftybase keeps up. Start with what you need today and add more as the business grows. No pressure to jump to a bigger plan before you're ready.
No long-term contracts. No per-seat pricing that punishes you for hiring. Just the production scheduling tools a small manufacturer needs, at a price that makes sense next to a $300-a-month enterprise system.
Craftybase allows us to be lean with our materials inventory so we won't have any overage of inventory. It provides a great easy-to-use analysis of COGS to help us better manage our margins.
Having a business that manufactures products with countless raw materials, Craftybase keeps us organized and helps us have a clear picture of the health of our business.
I'm impressed with the ability to track minute quantities of essential oils and other materials used in multiple products. I love the conversion from purchase to tracking units, and the ability to make components and recipes.
