What it does

📐

Cost calculator

Build up a product cost from materials (with waste %), labor minutes × your hourly rate, overhead contribution, and packaging. Every input is inspectable so you can understand where your margin goes.

💵

Suggested retail pricing

Pick your target margin (30%? 60%?). Get a retail price instantly, plus wholesale and MAP suggestions for B2B.

📊

Profitability tracker

Log actual sales. See per-product and per-category profit margins over time. Catch silent loss-leaders before they wipe out a season.

🧾

Material inventory

Track your stock of yarn, beads, fabric, resin, whatever. Auto-deduct from each unit made. Low-stock banner so you don't run out mid-batch.

📝

Quote generator

For custom orders: pick materials, estimate labor, apply markup, email a PDF quote. Deposit tracking built in.

🔒

Runs on a laptop

Flask + SQLite. No cloud required. Your margins aren't anyone else's business.
