Every level of your inventory, in one view

Generic inventory tools count boxes on a shelf. Stocksmith understands that your stock has layers—the materials you buy, the components you make, and the products you sell. It tracks all of them together, so you can see exactly what you hold at every stage of production.

  • Raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods together
  • Real-time quantities that update as you buy, make, and sell
  • See what's committed to orders versus free to use
  • No more counting the same thing in two spreadsheets

Stock that updates itself when you make something

The moment you log a production run, Stocksmith deducts the materials it used and adds the finished goods to stock—at real cost. No manual adjustments, no forgetting to update the sheet after a busy day on the floor. Your inventory stays accurate without anyone babysitting it.

Never get caught short mid-production

Set a reorder point on any material and Stocksmith flags it before you run out—so you're not halfway through a batch when you discover you're short a key ingredient. It's the difference between a smooth production week and three days of waiting on a supplier.

Frequently asked questions

What is manufacturing inventory software for small business?
Manufacturing inventory software tracks stock across every stage of making a product—raw materials, components, and finished goods—rather than a single flat list. Stocksmith keeps all of it accurate in real time and deducts materials automatically when you produce, so a small business always knows what it holds and what it can make.
How is this different from regular inventory software?
Regular inventory tools treat stock as items to count. Manufacturing inventory software understands that you turn materials into products, so it tracks multiple levels, deducts materials on production, and links everything through your bill of materials. That distinction is exactly where generic tools run out of runway.
Does stock update automatically when I manufacture?
Yes. When you log a production run, Stocksmith deducts the materials used and adds the finished goods to inventory automatically, at real cost. There are no manual adjustments to remember, so your stock stays accurate even during your busiest production weeks.
Can it warn me before I run out of a material?
Set a reorder point on any material and Stocksmith flags it as stock runs low, so you can reorder before it stops a production run. It's built to prevent the mid-batch surprise of discovering you're short a key ingredient with orders waiting.
Will it work with my sales channels?
Yes. Stocksmith syncs orders from channels like Shopify, Amazon, and Faire against the same inventory, so selling on any channel keeps your stock counts accurate. Add wholesale and in-person sales and everything draws from one central, up-to-date inventory.
