Thankful it is there" — 5.0/5 > **JOHN** | *2 April 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I loved the support the product offers. There is a lot of in product support and lots of instruction but I am a huge overthinker and the email support function was just amazing. It helped me get to grips with things and later on when I had to suspend my subscription due to a health issue that meant I couldnt work, they showed me how to capture and save my data for when i restart. It took me a little time to figure out what product features I needed and again getting me to the right solution I got great support. I had previously used a competitor product mainly because it was free. I was new to baking and software and discovered - as I tried to get reports sorted etc - that I needed a more professional piece of software and Craftybase is it. > > **Cons**: It is a little more complicated than it first looks so read the help sheets and think about structure. SKUs are not compulsory but better you use them . I learn by doing rather than reading so I eventually had to start again with things. But it was no problem to the guys at teh other end of the email\! And understanding what the "units" are can be tricky - at least I struggled with that for a while > > Awesome. From stock control, product traceability for compliance, costing and making life easier, I'd say Crafty base is best even for a smal, newl bakery such as mine ----- ### "Highly Recommend - The easiest materials, products, process & management & reporting program" — 5.0/5 > **Lynne** | *22 August 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've been using Craftbase for many years now \& have found it so useful with everything I need to track. From adding purchases for matierials, adding products etc, I can keep track of everything associated to my business, process \& production management accounting etc. There are also many different reports you can run. Even though I'm in the UK with a different time zone, I always receive very prompt replies from Customer Support with solutions to my queries. > > **Cons**: I honestly can't think of anything negative about Craftybase \& will continue using it for years to come. > > Everyone at Craftybase are only too happy to help \& are very knowledgeable. It does have everything I could want in a program to account for every aspect of my business. I'll happily recommend this to anyone needing to keep track of everything. ----- ### "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.uk/software/144117/craftybase?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/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
