BatchMakes is production software for small batch producers who have outgrown spreadsheets but don't need a big ERP. Start from a ready-made setup for your craft: brewery, cidery, winery, distillery, coffee roaster, cheesemaker, jam and preserves, honey, sauces, soap and candles, cosmetics...

As answered by people managing MakerBatch and BatchMakes.
BatchMakes's answer:
BatchMakes is built for small batch producers, not adapted from a general ERP. Producers can select their craft and the workspace arrives pre-set with the right production stages and measurements. It works out the true cost per can, jar or bag from what was really packaged, with losses, packaging and labels included, and suggests prices from your markup. Every lot is traceable from supplier delivery to batch to customer, ready for an inspection or recall.

BatchMakes's answer:
Big inventory and manufacturing tools (Katana, Unleashed, NetSuite) are built for larger operations and take weeks to set up. Generic inventory apps don’t understand batches, stages, losses or lots. BatchMakes sits in between: set up in minutes, made for how small producers really work, with a free plan for one user and Business at €59/month. It also covers what small makers usually need extra tools for: pricing per format, lot traceability, VAT invoices, excise duty for alcohol producers, and a production planner.
BatchMakes's answer:
Small batch producers with 1–10 people who have outgrown spreadsheets: craft breweries, cideries, meaderies, wineries, small distilleries, kombucha makers, coffee roasters, cheesemakers, jam and preserve makers, honey producers, sauce makers, soap and candle makers, and cosmetics makers.
BatchMakes's answer:
BatchMakes started with a simple frustration: small producers we know, brewers, jam makers and beekeepers, ran their production in spreadsheets and notebooks. They roughly knew what a batch cost, but not what one can or jar really cost after losses, packaging and labels, and a recall meant digging through paper. We built BatchMakes with them, feature by feature, so a small maker gets the same control as a big factory without the complexity.
