It's what every artisan needs
Once I understood that it takes time and effort to start using (and then keep using) Craftybase, it became much easier to run my business. I actually let Craftybase run ME. The customer service is top-notch (although I do wish they didn't run on UK time) and I'd be lost without it.
Pros
I love this software because the developers understand how a small manufacturing business works. They don't load you down with confusing features - just what you need when you need it. It has helped me get completely organized with raw materials, track all production, determine pricing and just basically keep everything straight. If you're a maker and you're not using it, you need to be.
Cons
I sometimes feel the software tries to be all things to all people. I really don't see why the accounting aspects are necessary and feel they are sometimes lacking.

Can't Live Without It!
I can keep excellent track of inventory, profits and other finances, and pull reports at any time for taxes, stocktaking and more.
Pros
I love how I can keep track of all my inventory on hand, everything that has been sold, my profits, pull needed reports, automatic uploads and so much more.
Cons
It is a little confusing in the beginning but within 2 weeks, I was majorly loving this program.

It was a lot more time consuming and confusing keeping track of everything on my own using excel especially when some inventory is quite large. This program does all the thinking for me when everything is entered in correctly. It's awesome! and the customer service is exceptional when help is needed.- Industry: Wholesale

Terrible support
Very poor will be looking elsewhere and I recommend you do the same
Pros
Support non existent when looking for help with their software, they also delete and censor posts in the “Facebook community” to stop people giving honest feedback (including customers)
Cons
Handles bundles and lots really counter intuitively, can’t keep finished product as inventory

A great resource!
Pros
It keeps me organized and I love that I can refer to my recipes easily. My favorite part is the automatic cost analysis and recommendations for pricing new products.
Cons
Probably the price. It does get a little pricey, so I’ve had to say no to some of the features I really wish I could utilize, like the batch # feature.

Probably the promise of organization... and really it is very easy to use and store data. I just wish I could be more consistent with it. It took me forever to begin because I worried I’d set it up wrong and have to do everything all over again.- Industry: Retail
