stocksmith.
from raw material to listing, on your iphone or ipad. stock, cost price and production in one system instead of three spreadsheets. works offline, syncs through your own icloud.
it's not the spreadsheet.
it's not gut feeling.
it's knowing what something actually costs.
the problem
makers of 3D-printed products guess their cost price. what is still on the shelf, what that spool actually cost, which listing still has the old price: it sits scattered across notes, sheets, and memory.
the symptom
"i thought i was making money on that." "that filament cost more than i figured." a product on etsy priced too low, sold a hundred times over.
what stocksmith does
your materials with stock and purchase price, your products with a recipe underneath. the cost price comes out, production writes down the stock, and you can see which listing no longer matches.
material. cost price.
forge. listings.
four things, no more. a tool that does too much gets used by no one: a maker in the workshop doesn't need an erp. no bookkeeping, no order handling.
materials
filament, parts and packaging, each with stock and purchase price. stocksmith works out the unit price itself. when something runs low you get a nudge before you go looking for it.
- · filament with type, colour, diameter and weight per spool
- · magnets, screws and packaging too
- · low-stock warning
products & cost price
every product has a recipe underneath: which materials, how much. the cost price follows from current material prices. add margin as a percentage or a fixed amount, and you get a suggested price you are free to override.
- · bill of materials per product
- · margin as percentage or fixed amount
- · one material price up, everything recalculated
forge
log a production run and the rest follows: material comes off the stock, product stock goes up, and if there is not enough material you get a warning instead of a surprise.
- · stock updated automatically
- · warning when material runs short
- · production history with daily and weekly figures
listings
your sales listings per platform in one place, each with a sync status. change a price and you see straight away which listing lags behind. copy text and price with one tap into etsy, shopify or bol.
- · sync status: up to date or out of sync
- · text and price copied with one tap
- · stocksmith posts nothing itself, you stay in control
four kinds of makers
with this problem.
hobbyist going pro
first real orders, no idea what to charge. stocksmith puts you on solid ground.
established etsy seller
dozens of products, manual pricing. one material price change now updates everything.
small-batch producer
running batches, tracking orders, watching margins. forge keeps the overview.
multi-channel seller
same product on etsy and bol. one place to see which listing still has the old price.
now in the app store.
