Automated Cost of Goods Sold makes tax time a breeze
Most bookkeeping software simply isn't designed for the complexities of handmade manufacturing - your costs of goods sold (COGS) needs to be much more than just a guestimated number posted to a ledger every year.
Craftybase calculates accurate, fully auditable COGS based on your manufacture and material cost history, and compiles a Schedule C Report instantly with the numbers you need.
Your complete manufacturing history, including internal labor costs are fully tracked so that you can see exactly how much it costs you to make your products.

Keep sortable, fully searchable product and material lists - available online, whereever you are.
Maintain full purchase histories for everything you buy and let Craftybase do the hard work to calculate your exact current inventory value.

I had no idea how to price my soap. I didn't take my time in to consideration until I started using Craftybase. I now know how to price my soap to make money with both wholesale and retail costs.
