Owner Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pleased overall" August 26, 2019 5.0 Like most applications, it's not perfect but it's very good. A little complicated at first but invaluable once its set up. Pros Feature rich Integrations Lots of resources Cons Complicated and not easy to fix mistakes and do back entry Review Source RB Rob B. Director Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Powerful & easy to use" August 26, 2019 5.0 Out of all the tools and platforms we use to support our business, craftybase is by far the most important to us. It's well designed and is an essential piece of software for any food & beverage startup considering going into manufacturing. Pros We like how it is structured. Logical, easy to use and powerful. Perfect for fast growing startups in the food and beverage industry, particularly those that manufacture. Cons The contacts side of the database is basic, with limited functionality, which is a shame because it has the potential to also be a powerful CRM. Review Source NK Nicole K. Self Employed Arts and Crafts Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Syncs PERFECTLY with Etsy " October 30, 2019 5.0 I do not like that the transaction fees are in the expense category. I know they are an expense, but I wish they were separate from the rest of my business expenses. I also wish it would take the sales tax that a customer paid and Etsy remitted on my behalf and take it out of my income. Or at least deduct it out in a separate tax section to show that it was collected and remitted to the appropriate state. Pros I like that I was able to sync my Etsy Shop account with the software. It is constantly updating sales from my account. Since I make handmade items for sale, it helps me track the material used for each order. I also like that it imports all of my listings and how many of each I have sold. If I were to make them in advance, it would track how many I have made on hand. Cons It is a bit over whelming at first. And I wish it was cheaper per month after the trial. Review Source KM Karyn M. Owner Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Can’t live without it!" August 26, 2019 5.0 We could not do our business without it and keep track of who is doing what and how much we really have left available. Pros Keeps track of large amounts of complicated inventory amounts for beads. It is invaluable to us especially for the cost. Cons Sometimes when I make changes to an entry later it doesn’t update the entry so I have to delete and re entry. Review Source GC George C. Chief maker Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Craftybase works for us" August 26, 2019 5.0 Pros It simplifies the process of figuring out how much to charge on a manufactured item, it basically does my taxes for me and it allows me to know what I need to restock (products or materials) with just a click or two. Cons It should integrate more. You have all my user data, why can't I automatically Import it into mailchimp? Why can't I create a shopping list and export it to my local online diy shop? I also can't collate my inventory on the other platforms when something sells on another - access is read only. You could do more with what you've built. Its great - it could be amazing. Switched from [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) More time efficient to use craftybase. Review Source ST Stephanie T.

" August 26, 2019 5.0 Has been great. I don’t really call to complain so I guess we’re all good. Pros This is a great way to keep track of all my inventory, batches and packaging. I love how I can make a full product and craftybase will actually account for everything right down to the time used, cap and stickers. It really keeps my business profitable and professional. Good customer service! intergrades with so many options. Very cost effective. Cons It’s needs a Canadian tax/paperwork section. Would love for it to automatically recognize an invoice and copy it in. menu set up Alternatives considered [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Reason for choosing Craftybase Because it does batches and I need that style of pricing and it’s one of only a couple that work with Mac.

Pros It is very easy to use and is much cheaper than similiar software. Cons So far there is nothing I do not like about this software.

Owner/candlemaker Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love it" June 26, 2023 5.0 Love it. It’s so helpful and worth taking the time to learn to use it Pros I love that it keeps me organized. I also love how it recommends pricing based on material prices and material used plus overhead. It has saved a ton of time for me! Cons I think some areas could be better explained (or maybe it’s just me) because my stock count is sometimes off and sometimes I can’t figure out why Review Source MW Michelle W. Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Craftybase " August 27, 2019 5.0 Craftybase has saved me hours upon hours with keeping track of inventory and order entry. Pros I love that I am able to keep track of the inventory levels on all my components. When it is time to order I can just print a report and know exactly what I need. I also love all of my orders importing in automatically. I also love that I can access all my information from anywhere via the internet. Cons I wish I could use this more for accounting, I work in a cash basis, and this seems more geared towards an accrual basis. Review Source AD Alison D. Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Makes my Etsy business easy!" August 26, 2019 4.0 Before Craftybase I was using spreadsheets and was very disorganized. I could never have grown my business to its current size without it! Pros Love how easy it is to sync everything with my Etsy shop. Very user-friendly and easy to figure out. Cons I wish there was a way to bulk edit variations and recipes Review Source NB Nicole B. Co-Owner Cosmetics Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solves Problems and Answers Questions, I didn't know I had" September 10, 2019 4.0 I am thankful for this program and its ability to help organize our business and the many ingredients and products with multiple online sales outlets. It also helps to see where your time and money go, especially in ways you may not have realized. Pros Unique format that provides solutions to small business owners who are trying to expand their company. Provides a place and format for information that is confusing and complicated to organize. Cons Some things are stuck the way they are and dont apply to what Im doing or if things change in the way we create products it is hard to apply the changes. Syncing products from multiple sales channels instead of them showing as unique products over and over again can be frustrating.

It is definitely well worth the money and time investment. Pros Craftybase not only keeps me ridiculously organized but it ensures I set my prices at a rate that covers my costs and time.

Owner / Artist Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Perfect for artists, crafters and makers of any size" August 26, 2019 5.0 I’ve always felt intimidated by the inventory process, but after some quick tutorials to familiarize myself with the basics, Craftybase made it very easy to apply the principles to my business. I love being completely on top of my business, and understanding exactly how it’s doing. Having a digital solution that’s perfectly designed and priced for a small business like mine is greatly appreciated. Pros I found the software very fun and easy to use. It’s flexible for different industries, and scales nicely for maker businesses of just about any size. Although the software is designed with US tax preparation in mind, it can be adapted fairly easily for Canadian users as well. Cons I wish it was adapted officially for Canadian use in the future. I’d also love to have integration with QuickBooks Online. But these are minor quibbles.
