Ideally an integration to other accounting packages would be great. > > Overall it's an excellent product with great support, and the inability to connect to my accounting system is outweighed by the features and benefits it provides me with ----- ### "I like crafty but theirs still room for more" — 3.0/5 > **Sheridan** | *2 August 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The different tabs and how it’s all separated out. It’s clean lined. Feels modern not old school which is good\! > > **Cons**: There’s a lot, I don’t think it’s a superior software yet. It needs to work better for businesses. I’m a candle business and it’s super frustrating. Here’s my list of things I need in a software. 1. Allo you to see stock levels in live time as you manufacture a new product. It’s a huge time waisted creating all our manufactures, then scrolling through all our ingredients and to see if there are any in the red, this is the only way to know if we can even make the items we want to. Very frustrating with ordering stock to. Again we have to make manufacturers to determine how much supplies we even have. This is very backwards. There needs to be an easy, live view of stock, as you make a manufacturer so you know straight away if you can make it. Also, a tick off system, there’s no way to know what manufacturers have been made or not as you have to give them todays date to even take the product out of stock, this leads me to pen and paper for every manufacturer I need to make that day. Very backwards. > > Not bad thanks. Don’t believe this will work too well for me when I hire a staff member however unless some of my issues change :) ----- ### "Craftybase provides me with everything I need and is really easy\!" — 5.0/5 > **Pete** | *1 August 2025* | Alternative Medicine | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Craftybase is able to keep accounts of my purchase orders, inventory and manufactures. It is also very flexible in allowing me to make manual adjustments when needed. I can always count on craftybase to keep records of my ongoing product costs and inventory counts. > > **Cons**: I would like to be able to create Purchase Orders to send to vendors directly from inside of Craftybase. It would allow my order emails to be more standardized. > > My overall experience with Craftybase has been great. The learning curve for the system was very fast and it was very easy to figure out how I should set up my recipes, products, and manufactures. ----- ### "Great ERP and manufacturing solution for makers\!" — 5.0/5 > **Carmen** | *13 May 2026* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the support and functionality of the software. It's the best I've found for makers as far as an ERP system. > > **Cons**: I'd like to see a little more control given when it comes to deleting or merging products in bulk. I'd also like it if we could exclude some items from being imported from sales channels so if you wanted to have drop shipped items, they do not get pulled into your products section. They're constantly updating the software so hopefully this will be something in the near future. > > Overall, I think the software is effective and it does what I need it to do. I love that I can manage inventory and create recipes to help track costs associated with custom products. It also shows you the the cost involved so you know if you are charging enough. ----- ### "Wish it had a few more features" — 3.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *24 November 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I do like the capabilities and it being on the cloud. However there are some features that would be helpful. It made my organic inspection easy because I could just easily pull up the batches for my mass balance audit. > > **Cons**: I don't like that when I assign a manufacture it doesn't give any warning about a low-stock component/material. I don't like that I can't easily see what projects have been assigned to what employee. I've love daily email digests that tell me what needs to get on order, what we're getting low on. I'd love to be able to have batch numbers that are just numerical. Right now they're both letters and numbers so I had to get new batch guns for marking my batches. It's laborious to have to change the batch numbers on the guns. I'd love to be able to see what's on hand vs. what the batch will take when I go to assign a manufacture. I'd love a button on the "manufacture's" page where I could pull up an employee's assigned projects and there would be buttons where I could see all "work in progress" "not complete" and "recently completed." Would be nice to receive an email when a batch is marked off as completed. Or if a batch status changes - X employee has started working on X batch. That would be awesome. Would love time trackers for employees so I could accurately track how long a batch is taking. > > Overall it's been an improvement over Soapmaker and I like being able to assign projects and check things from home. Support has been fairly responsive and helpful. Setup took a lot of time and some of my employees haven't liked how long it takes to get their batch paperwork going. Printing is laborious sometimes. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/144117/craftybase?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/144117/craftybase) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
